The terminology is pretty well established in the academic sense. Debussy, Ravel and Stravinksy established modernism in music. Prokofiev, Bartok, Janacek, Shostakovich, Satie, Poulenc, Hindemith, Britten, Copland and most other students of Nadia Boulanger as well as the second Viennese school are generally considered modernists.
Most would say the post-modern era starts with the likes of Boulez, Stockhausen and Cage, and encompasses the minimalists, Glass, Riley, Reich, Part, et al. But we're well into the post-minimalist era now.
For me, "late romantic" means Mahler and Richard Strauss, perhaps Sibelius and Scriabin too.
It's all just arbitrary terminology, of course.
