If you're the sort of classical musician who isn't bothered by this I suggest you watch Bond (a high-heeled string quartet, #10 above) perform this excerpt from a well-known classical warhorse. Be sure to listen at least until the drums enter.

This particular piece can only be improved by light rock treatment and especially by hot-looking babes. It does not bother me at all. Now, if they tried to do the same thing to something like Schubert's "Death and Maiden" quartet, then i would be reacting very differently. The list is definitely pretty scary.
My husband has known about bond for years. This was my first exposure. Not sure if I'm glad or sad.
As someone with a rather deep involvement with an apparently NON-top 25 Billboard ranked string quartet, you don't want to get me started about Bond. All I'll say is I hope those kids are making a lot of money & investing it wisely, because some day, when they are no longer young & beautiful, they will be waiting tables & cleaning motel rooms.

Think of it as a foreign country hearing western music for the first time and this is how they incorporate it.
The Balinese bury their old music into the lower levels and then build upon it. It is something i realize new music never did. It just left the corpse in the open. This at least throws a few shovel fulls but still not enough.
It's Billboard, I wouldn't expect anything different.
