It's kind of hard to say when that happens though. Atonality is really an old concept by now. Trout Mask Replica is from the 60's, Schöenberg is ages ago, noise, vocal sample manipulation and formless tunelessness are old ideas by now. I guess what I'm wondering is how many avant garde and experimental artists making music now are truly forward looking. I'm absolutely not saying they're not there, of course.
