Intelligent and creative young people will always search for the genuine, the different, the message. They're just not currently getting it from atrophied art jazz or atonal modern music.
They get the exciting and the new from experimental indie pop, some of the better rappers, stuff like that. Any art form has to be new and vibrant to match the times. As others have said, if Mozart were alive today he'd probably have a rock band or be an internet entrepreneur.
