It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Interesting. I would say exactly the opposite.

The modernists had a huge impact on American popular culture in the mid-20th century, for example with Disney's memorable 1940 animated feature Fantasia, which prominently featured Stravinsky's Rite of Spring. John Williams famously used elements from the Sacrificial Dance of the Rite of Spring in the main theme in his score for the 1975 movie Jaws. America's leading modernist Aaron Copland also had a major impact. And modernism may have had an even greater overall impact in Europe.

But modernism is old news at this point. It was overtaken long ago by minimalism, which itself has had a major impact on popular culture, including in movies, television shows and even commercials.

Of course, these aesthetic movements encompassed much more than music.
