I find this "classical" thing very amusing, aksherly. It brings out the presciptivist in the most ardent of our descriptivists. In reality, it's a good catch-all phrase for the music you describe, but since our most devout descriptivists happen to be musos they turn passionately prescriptivist whenever anyone pushes this button.
