I'll Never Stop Railing Against the [now old fasioned] Modernists

I grew up in the 1970's. I got to see the full brunt of anti-Romantic hatred that every radicalist* heaped on anything remotely tonal. You and your brothers-in-arms have a lot to answer for.

As I've said in the past, 20th cent "modernism" [which isn't modern any more since we're in the 21st cent now [a fact that seems to escape all serialist/radicalists] and all of that wacked-out, grinding atonality and weirdness now sounds so DATED, is a failed movement much like its political twin, communism. Sure, both of them lurk around in the periphery, like mold, or child molesters, but their day has mostly passed.

* Searching through this site, I've happened on the term "radicalism". It fits the whole movement ideally. No longer modern, but still radical in every way. I'm adopting "radicalism", going forward.
