Is classical music dead as a creative activity?

[Odin]

Classical music as professional "craft art", like in movies and video games, is still very much alive, but as "high" art? I think it is pretty much dead, it is either just recycling old forms (Neo-Classical, Neo-Baroque, Neo-Romantic), or is pretentious stuff that I find no enjoyment in listening to (like atonal music). As Spengler predicted, Western Classical music, much like Western "high" art, has congealed into a fixed stock of conventional forms, just like in the other surviving mature civilizations (Magian, Indian, and Chinese).
