You know you are part of the peripheral [1] masses when the only exposure you had to classical music was through a Bugs Bunny cartoon.
It's weird. In my household jazz was a must along with all sorts of afrocaribbean music. Classical music? Nil. So growing up the only frame of reference I had for classical music was cartoons like The Bunny of Seville [2].
Ah good times.
Enjoy.
