I was making a joke because people like to arbitrarily go up in arms regarding the term classical even though its popularly used meaning works just fine as a definition and it actually becomes more cumbersome to discuss classical music when you adhere to the strict definition of the term. 

Good enough reason?

Jokes tend not to come with explanations. I guess you have no sense of humor, but I don't mind explaining so it's okay.
