Call me autistic, but I can't help but cringe when people post Baroque or earlier music in this thread.

Baroque is my favorite kind of classical music.To the untrained ear all Baroque music sounds the same with the exception of perhaps Handel and Bach. Baroque music forms a major portion of the "classical music" canon so I really don't see where you have any basis to to complain in this thread.
"Today baroque is considered classical easy listening. The truth is that baroque music is complex, some of the most complex music ever written in any tradition. If baroque music had a visual counterpart, it would be some mathematical conceptual art. If you need a textbook and a glossary to understand what is going on, it is not easy listening. We often forget this because, today, baroque is played so much and it is familiar. Maybe not fully understood, but familiar enough that most people won’t reject it."

We must make a thread for baroque music, a thread for those who believes that beethoven ruined music, for those who believes that cellos and pianofortes should be ban.

I guess you are autistic if you conflate the "classical era" with "classical music". Baroque is classical, It's a period just not within the "classical era." All Baroque is classical but not all classical is Baroque. The major time divisions of classical music are as follows: the early music period, which includes the Medieval (500–1400) and the Renaissance (1400–1600) eras; the Common practice period, which includes the Baroque (1600–1750), Classical (1750–1830), and Romantic eras (1804–1910); and the 20th century (1901–2000) which includes the modern (1890-1930) that overlaps from the late 19th-century, the high modern (mid 20th-century), and contemporary or postmodern (1975–2000) eras, the last of which overlaps into the 21st-century.
