50 years from now, Western civilization will have collapsed, along with 
the whole "new music" idea.  Of course, there will be new music; there 
always is. Some of this music will of course be atonal. But I suspect 
that it will only be tonal or more-tonal music that diffuses beyond the 
home of its creator.

All such music will be chamber music to be played by those few keeping 
western art music alive. Synths will not be produced, as they won't be 
produced, and will be banned in those locations under Sharia (such as 
France and Dearborn MI).
