Classical Music, as defined as the musical period dating from 1750-1825 (depending on your view as Beethoven's work as classical or romantic in his later years), has inspired many types of music. Directly following the Classical Period was the Romantic Period (1825-1900) which was followed by the Impressionistic Period and so on. Each preceeding area, by nature of musical evolution, had an impact on the period thereafter. Classical music continues to inspire musicians today. Who has not heard of Mozart or Beethoven's (extreemly overplayed) Moonlight Sonata? (Pity most people never listen to the entire work!) Thanks to the form developed throughout the classical period, we have ways of intelligently discussing music and utilizing it in an orderly fashion (or, once a proper understanding of the rules has been achieved, completely disregarding the 'rules' to create something entirely unique.) In closing, I do not believe that all of the specific genre's of music that have been inspired by classical music can be named simply because it impossible to ask every musician that has ever lived, "Were you ever inspired by classical music?" All in all, while the direct impact of classical music on a particular style of music may not be immediately visable, it is certain that classical music has molded and encouraged music as a whole, and, without that influence, I am certain we would not enjoy some of the great music we have today.

Everything! The same theoretical elements of western music are used for all sorts of music: Jazz, Pop, Latin, Gospel, Musical Theater, etc. When we think of classical music, we usually tend to only think of Bach or Mozart, but these composers actually influenced the theroetical understanding of how music functions and how we as listeners interpret the music. Just think, without Bach there wouldn't be a Beyonce, or a Kesha, or whomever.
