That's precisely why I like classical music. It's perfect background music for doing other things.

If the music forces itself to the front of my mind, I turn it off. That's not how I like my music.

It is strange that classical is so held up as the pinnacle of music when it's basically background fodder. I agree that classical is the best, but that's what it really is, and always has been.

Uh, no. It may be background fodder to you, but that is absolutely not how it's always been. People have and still do attend concerts where the whole aim is to sit and listen to the music performed. Many classical musicians were the rock stars of their day, with all the buzz and weird fan behavior that goes along with it.

You're mixing up the idea that classical music can be background with the idea that classical music is and has always been background. Small logic fail. Anything can be background music, depending on the individual.

This. I've been known to listen to Atari Teenage Riot while working on papers.

I guess I'm doing classical music wrong. Who knew, all this time, that it was just supposed to be elevator music, other than you, of course? I must immediately call the elevator music people and tell them to get their pop music out of stores and elevators and put in the appropriate fodder music. Because that's the way it's always been.

I'm doing it wrong, too. We're rebels!

i just use white noise

What? No. Just because you personally don't like to focus on it, doesn't mean that's what it "is".
Crass generalisations ahoy in these comments and gosh, *not* coming from classic music lovers.

That's how it is for me too, at least sometimes. Soft, relaxing classical music is good for doing homework (so is some new age piano/instrumental and other stuff too, though).

But I don't think that's how it was originally supposed to be and people of the time treated it very differently. And people still enjoy listening to it for its own sake.
