I say music can be what it wants as long as it's origonal and innovative.

It can be "modern classical" if it's modern music, but based on the principles of the music written during the classical period, which fell roughly between 1730-1820 (between baroque and romantic).

Technically classical music is music from a certain time period of music with Mozart being the most well known composer today from that time period. Bach, Beethoven (borderline classical/romantic), Debussy, Chopin etc...are not technically classical composers, they are Baroque and Romantic.

However with so many different types of music, somewhere down the line when you go to you local music store all the "classical" composers are clumped together. Imagine separating them by Romantic, Baroque, Classical, Modern.

Now modern music, or modern "classical" is anywhere from the early 20th century till today. This period has the advent of atonality, and also a lot of experimental music. Experimental in its rhythm changes, tonality, or lack of....and there is also the beginning of electronic music, experimenting with noise effects etc....

Good modern music to check out Shoenberg, Shnitke, Milton Babbit, Holst "The Planets", Tokyo 77 (new experimental music)....
