i grew up around “class” and find it utterly tasteless

musicals are for people who don’t like music. and have an extreme EXTREME tolerance for corny, tired, and cheesy as hell tropes from the 40’s. it is indeed quaint.
the only notable exceptions are parody (south park) and a hip hop upending of the traditional, stale as hell musical theater cliche.
