He was commenting on society and people did not get it.

Kind of like the people in the 19th century who thought that Brahms symphonies were "noise". And now we consider that very soothing 19th century Romanticism.

The waltz of the early 19th century was indecent because a young man could actually hold a young woman in his arms, and we all know what that leads to.
