In this week's video we compare modern "dark academia" classical-style music to the real deal to determine whether or not it's technically true "classical music". How exactly do we define "classical music"? What role does dark academia music play in our modern genres? Join me as I compare and contrast the two definitions, plus a list of some of my own recommended songs to add to your own dark academia playlist!
