This line of thinking has all the desperation and insecurity of someone who was recently challenged by someone or something which revealed a deep lack of conviction in their own beliefs and likes, and consequently spun 180 deg. around to the most intellectual form of art they could handle (the pretentious bit about classical).
This is usually seen in 1st or 2nd year college students (mostly philosophy students) who come home on summer leave and begin spouting Nietsche or Plato or as in this case Beethoven (love all these cats by the way), to all the unwashed, un-enlightened "childish" folks back home. Hopefully, the light shines and they then realize the stupidity and immaturity of their holier than though viewpoint and calm down.
And furthermore, yes, striked is moronic, but to then stand by it and dig in when called on it exhibits a particularly strong strain of obstinate cluelessness.

Me thinks it is childish to pose the question among people who enjoy this music. You must be a very unhappy and childish little person.

Not at all. The "you just proved somebody's point" post is a poignant one, if used correctly, but it's just rubbish when using that line like you just didQuote

You kind of just proved his point mate...

I prefer to be an adult who loves to play the child from times to times (and who knows when) instead of being a child who plays the adult. I know many people of this second type.

For the most part, yes, but I think it is a good thing to keep as much of the inner child intact as possible through adulthood until the day you die.
Childlike wonder is one of the most precious things in life.

Erik has a strong point. Classical Music gives me deeper experiences than R'n'R, but sometimes I like the groove of the Stones and Dylan.

Hey Erik, were you feeling "childish" when you purchased tickets for the Oslo and Berlin shows?
Can I have 'em? Please...pretty please, I used to say in kindergarten.

if you were actually listening, it's "hey, hey, you got me rockin' now!".

Not just for the sake of it; there is truth in my statement
Here's the greatest pianoplayer of our lifetime; Grigory Sokolov, playing a Beethoven piece that make the listener actually listen instead of just tapping his foot like a monkey, like Rolling Stones want us to do

Some people are just more mature and their tastes more sophisticated than others. It's only natural that they would see the Rolling Stones and rock music in general as childish. These are the people who wonder why I'm having a cheeseburger,fries,and a chocolate shake,when I could be eating snails and fish eggs.
