I have noticed that almost every sub/slave profile has a liking for opera listed.
...
So the question becomes, do these women really know what opera is?

Having attended a college that had one very eclectic course requirements, such as a history major taking various music and art classes, I have been subjected to opera.. Now granted I enjoy the ring cycle by Wagner, even though I do not understand a word of German.

However, I have noticed that almost every sub/slave profile has a liking for opera listed. Okay one professor says it is because of MTV "young people are conditioned to add a visual component to music" which would be fine, IF MTV WAS SHOWING VIDEOS ALL THE TIME. MTV has gone to the "stupider the better" reality programing system. VH1 is little better.

Besides the music that the younger generation listens to, aka noise, is nothing like opera, and barely recognizable as music. Bring back the styles of the 80's.

So the question becomes, do these women really know what opera is?

There are a LOT of musical influences in a young person's life besides TV. What did their parents listen to? What was music education like at their grade school and high school? What kind of community do they live in? I would not assume that someone young who lists opera as a like doesn't know much about it. In the city I live in, there are operatic performances outside for free on the square on a regular basis. People of all ages attend. I went to my first opera in elementary school on a class trip and loved it. It's not lost on young ears by any means.
