I do think there are links between modernism in the various disciplines, and I should have included design and architecture, as you say.
As for "irreparable damage", I wouldn't use that phrase, but modernism has had a permanent cultural impact. Anyone who likes the theme from "Jaws" (inspired by the Sacrificial Dance of the Rite of Spring), or uses an iMac, iPhone, iPad, or i-anything, has felt its impact.
My personal modernist bĂȘte noire is architecture, not music. I wish the World Trade Center could have been taken down peacefully, with nobody getting hurt. Lincoln Center isn't quite as bad, but is still bad enough.
