Shosty

How illegitimate classical musicians will refer to Shostakovich to make it sound 'hip' in popular vernacular.
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.)

Shostakovich

Probably the most hardcore classical composer to live. You think your screamo shit is "hardcore?" Then you have not heard of Shostakovich and your opinion is invalid.

Shostakovich was a genius who lived under the oppressive watch of the USSR; as a result, Shostakovich composed some of the most frightening music ever conceived by man.

His Symphony No. 5 and Symphony No. 10 are (arguably) his most badass pieces.
Richard: I hate classical. It's fucking boring.
Mark: You have clearly never heard of Shostakovich.
*After listening to the "Allegro" from Symphony 10*
Richard: Dude, my mind is blown.
