I seriously doubt this theory, as far as non-pop, art music is concerned.

I'm with Darcy oin this. I have seen and heard high schoolers go nuts
over works by living composers far more than older works. Michael
Daugherty, Schwantner, others, (I'll also throw in Ives - specifically
"Fourth of July, " which sounded brand new to them on orchestra ed
concerts, but somehow that doesn't get into the heads of the front
