true; I could have a less deep conversation about those. More deep re: the minimalists (Glass, Reich, Adams etc)
I meant modern pop music, but I know the 'modern classical' brigade has hijacked that term. But the too-hot touchstone seems to be pop music, as if it's a new religion/sex/politics That Should Not Be Discussed.
Then you get the 'it's all music right? I like what I like?' which although true is rarely helpful....nice to think sometimes why you might like something, where it came from, what it's meanings might be...
