So that when we do hear certain recent compositions, they may present themselves to the mind's eye as in some way cinematically narrative, tho the pictures are not there, or may conjure emotional reactions - perhaps uncomfortable ones.
Mebbe many of the last 100 years' composers have found less noble subject matter with which to work than did those of the previous 150 years or so. Although we can still respond to the romantic hero individual in say, Chopin, Liszt, Beethoven, theirs are not our times. Iron Foundry or the Blue Danube? (Although the latter retains an ironic relevance to certain aspects of Vienna today - but aren't I being so knowingly post-modern)
On the other hand, we still have the transcendent, whether spiralling beyond the world like Messiaen, or passing right through its smallest phenomena like Takemitsu, so it's not all bash and crash.
