Well, MI, I thought it was a great little retort. 

Thanks Brian. I'm glad somebody saw the humor in it.

Funny, coming from a guy who doesn't know how to post on internet forums. 

You're on a roll...

That's fine, you're still a retard though. Stick to posting on internet forums, it's all you know how to do.

That's because I don't have all day to sit on them like you 2 losers do.

Well actually I was referring to your lack of politeness/civility. But I'll give you credit for fighting fire with fire.

Generally the ones alive today are (hopefully) writing music of the modern zeitgeist so on a musical level it is extremely pertinent.

You mean they're writing according to the trends du jour? 

Seriously, how does one define the "modern Zeitgeist" and translate it into music? What about our Zeitgeist makes it worthy of translating into music? Why is it more important than the spirit of a different culture? How does one reconcile a cultural and "musical level"? The musical level is notes. Whatever you want to read into them is an ancillary matter.

When you say still alive... is that before or after your morning tea?

Well, certainly the quality of life is markedly higher after the morning tea : )

All you are is just a buddle of stupid Qs, it's fitting to your characteristic cluelessness.

James can't answer the question. Warning: Incoming Ad Hominem!

And his music generally sucks quite frankly. I think the system that has been in place for centuries is far superior.

Did not some of Stockhausen's more notable music employ microtonality?

.. what's depth James?, what's breadth James? what's modern zeitgeist James? how does that apply to anything James? prove it to me James? I am so utterly clueless and empty headed, and thinking just doesn't happen ever. Everything you say James is soooo totally new and mysterious to me, I need you to answer it all for me James.

"Uh oh, they're using big words and actually discussing, like, concepts and stuff. This is too hard! Pfft dumbass!"

I bet James makes for an interesting date.

Alright, well if even the most mundane topics can't play out without a session of James Baiting, then we will begin a process of closing them down until it quits. Frankly I've seen all the depth and breadth issues play out here as many times as I care to, and I am not the only one who has. It's true, James can be easily angered, it isn't as though it takes some great feat of imaginative provocation. So let us attempt to act like responsible adults. I know, it can be a stretch sometimes, but I suspect the capability is there.
