So who is waging that war on music? Critics? Composers? Was there a grand conspiracy at some point in time when the composers got together and decided to alienate all audiences and start writing incomprehensible unlistenable atonal music?

What is the ultimate reason for creating art that the average "consumer" doesn't enjoy? Maybe it's because creators want to push boundaries, but the "consumers" don't educate themselves? Or should popularity and enjoyability be the only thing that decides if new art is good? Then really, just stick to Spotify algorithm and get more of the same, over and over.

My mother teaches music history and theory at the music academy. I remember the first I played Daft Punk "Around the World" to her. Her reaction was "who could listen to this???"

for context: Russia has 12 times more proven oil reserves (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_proven_oil...). Now imagine russians in this situation.
I saw that umbrella in Amsterdam @ MHD. Sadly, they just showed how it worked but not how it was made.
