Ah, you're right. Catty would imply an argument but in the case of this song it seems like Taylor is one of those people who holds it all in and silently resents everyone.
That song is so bad it almost seems like self parody. That's what I thought when I first heard it.
And I can't help but imagine that the joke that landed the unnamed male character in hot water with his girlfriend at the beginning of the song was something racist or sexist, just because I want everyone involved in this who isn't the unnamed girlfriend to be a bad person.
Glass is a Worlock or a because he does one thing and does it a lot, with some minor variations. Cage is a monk because he studies eastern traditions and does stuff with things others take for granted. Messiaen is a druid who talks to birds and shit.

The latter two have been accepted. The first not so much.
Except that I really can't fit them into DnD roles.
What would John Cage be? Feldman? Glass? I got nothing.
Oh, the ninjutsu!
In addition to the above, Glass and Reich are clearly Smiths or Bards, being very workmanlike and taking their shows on the road. Feldman is, like Messiaen, in a cave on a mountain. Lou Harrison is a strict Cleric, as is Webern; La Monte Young and Terry Riley are tripped-out Sorcerers. As far as Warriors go, John Adams, Elliot Carter and Carl Ruggles all have the right temperament.
And Stravinsky is a shapeshifter, naturally. He plays every class.
Oh, and Krenek, Berg and Partch are Rogues, if not so dangerous as Boulez in that class.
What about Bartok and Xennakis?
Xenakis was trained as an architect and an engineer and worked as a freedom fighter with the Greek Marxists. Too disciplined to be a Rogue, too wild to be something more conventional. I'm imagining a very powerful Mage of a very specific sort, with some science-y abilities. An Alchemist in the FMA sense.
Bartok is more like someone who studied under the elders of ancient magical tribes in the forest and then brought together their sacred knowledge to work miracles. Professor-like, yet very earthy and old-school. A classic Wizard.

Xenakis could work as an artificer.
Bartok's...maybe a Druid? But Wizard could work. Probably specializing in Conjuration
Sibelius is a Truenamer because his shittiness is memetic.
Memetic but unfair, I think. He got a bad rap for being a folksy tonal composer when that was extremely unfashionable, a bit like Britten and Shostakovich.
What is the saddest class? Because Shosty was basically made of sadness.
Also I'm not sure why everybody seems to hate that Taylor Swift song; it's bland but harmless
I don't hate it at all. The lyrics are just kind of pathetic and whiny in a very grumpy-teen-girl-with-a-crush way. Believably so, but still, much kvetching.
teen girls (and guys and otherwise) get crushes, why ignore this reality
I don't. I just prefer slightly less, uh, impotently angry takes on the matter.
...I will confess that I have a serious soft spot for Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream". It's a really nicely constructed pop song, and minimal in a really pleasing way.
I can see Berlioz as an illusionist, so I defer there. But Debussy's fascination with free-flowing harmonies in ambiguous scales has a definite tinge of mysticism, if not to the degree of Messiaen, Feldman or Stockhausen's shamanism.
Speaking of which: Scriabin is definitely either a Cleric or a Wizard of some kind. Theosophy, yo. But then, he had the crusading character of a Knight of some sort. Seeking to revolutionise the...

Hmm. Now I'm thinking of Szymanowski, the other great Impressionist composer with his incredibly homoerotic opera about the conflict between Dionysian and Apollonian impulses...
Now I'm up to Phelus's review of the He-Man and She-Ra Christmas Special, and...there's something that's always bothered me. And it ain't the Filmation animation, the corny jokes, or the latent homoeroticism (seriously).
It's this: Why would aliens from another galaxy, and likely even another universe, have any reason to care about an Earth religion that isn't even universal on its home planet? I know, people can believe what they want wherever they are, but why should anyone in this care except the human kids?
i recognized the names of most of the composers on the previous page, but for a lot of them i couldn't like formulate any sort of class categorisation for them because i don't get much out of their music or know enough about them ect
