Schadenfreude, maybe

I see it all the time: people will turn to classical music if they're bored with the current pop/rock scene. Even if this means that the music functions as Plan B or Plan x for most, it's still a heartening trend. I lurk on a few sports message boards that often provide spirited off-topic banter usually tilted towards the political, but here's a recent thread from a fellow seeking "classical music" recommendations. One guy named "Big Bank Hank" writes in with zeal: "Not exactly what you're looking for, but the interludes between, before and after opera "movements" generally give me a music boner." There were a few mildly surprising contributions, like a Gorecki 3rd plug, some Stravinsky and a Howard Hanson shout-out (probably from an Interlochen grad?). The thread's worth a skim if you don't mind wading through a few obligatory "skinflute" and "bowel movement" jokes.
