There is modern classical, it has just fallen into irrelevance.
John Cage has been heard of, and a few names like Stockhausen or Lachemann can be found occasionally, but the rest are really only known to other musicians and fans of the genre.
I do not like the notion of equating film scores to modern classical composition.
I didn’t mean classical in the sense of the genre. I meant it in the sense of timeless, univerallly-recognised music.
