This seems like a joke until you realize it is actually accurate, and that the real joke is that "classical music" basically means "doesn't have singing and electric guitar, or black people".

I don't get this quote. What was "gay" about what I said? I said I liked a lieder from Schumann....

It was Salmoneus being cranky that was funny, really.
