This is really music to commit suicide to for those who have lost the connection between their heads and their hearts: Music for horror movies.
So much of twentieth-century music is reflective of the fact that all the best tunes have been written and there is nothing left for composers to do other than the empty formalism of complex scales and/or pastiches of the greats of the past.
There is no underlying emotional force to this music and, therefore, no real audience for it - save the cognoscenti who read music rather listen to it.
Atonalism and serialism might possess concision, delicacy, economy, concentration, symmetry, silence and unity but, like all sterile intellectual exercises, they all lack the ability to get under your skin.
