Shostakovich

Dmitri Shostakovich, noun.

Dmitri Shostakovich is a Russian classical composer born on the 25th of September 1905 and died on the ninth of August in 1975, and was known for his intense and powerful symphonies, such as his Fifth, Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth.
His works reflect on the terror caused by the Soviet Union and various historical events such as the 1905 and 1918 Russian revolutions, which had led to him being later denounced in his musical career. This initiated depression and henceforth more powerful and hateful symphonies in his later life that would never be cured.
Dmitri Shostakovich would be known by his family for being obsessive in cleanliness and organization, synchronizing clocks and cleaning his apartment nearly daily.

His symphonies are now still known for being more hateful and full of power than the genres of rock, metal, and emo.
Person 1: Ugh... Classical music is so boring. Why don't you listen to Billie Eilish instead?
Person 2: Shosty's 12th obliterates it out of the water. Come back when you've listened to it all.

Person 2: So, did it change your opinion on classical music?
Person 1: .............

Shostakovich lived for a long time despite the Soviet Union disliking him.

Emily: Omg, have you heard shosty 5? That shit slaps!

Becky: Omg yes I bop to that!

(of course neither of them have ever listened to it in its entirety because it isn't popular music, and they just learned about it in there music history class that they only passed from blowing the teacher.)
