Joe, I was completely joking.

Rick, I would add an anti-intellectual dimension to your statement. Not only do we dress less formally than in the past, but people who strive to do well in school are looked at as either nerds, or in some communities, as an Uncle Tom. The idea that doing well in school is something to be avoided, and getting C's & D's is a sign of how cool you are, is disturbing. It's a sign of the cultural upheaval that has been going on for the past century. I like to think that as the pendulum swings back, things will be better for classical music, and this is just a sign of the times, and not the way things will be.
