Experimental thread.
Everything thats not a cover is experimental because it sounds like nothing else.

What about music that is contrived to make as much money as possible using a proven formula?

nah sry i just wanted to meme, like, the thread itself is experimental, "haha"
but i have a question related to the thread topic. could anyone clear me up on where experimental/avant-garde classical is at right now? what seems to commonly be thought of under the term, like, spectral, indeterminate, aleatoric music etc, those seem so interesting but afaik they average out on being like half a century ago, whats the newest current trend?

Classical is in a lot of different directions right now, but the most prominent "sound" is a sort of static, drone-style composition. This kind of music originally became popular when composers like Ligeti began writing works like Atmospheres: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aI0P1NnUFxc
Another influence to consider is Harrison Birtwistle, whose combination of a looming, droning bass along with sometimes scherzic, sometimes song-like writing seems to in some ways predate this style. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVnpktJtOms
But after minimalism, interest grew more since Serialism was more or less having its last days of being the top movement in classical music. We now have composers from Kaija Saariaho (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOSyRzLbyQ8) to John Luther Adams (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXHzxMJrf9g&list=PL4sapy99eYWo6UDWqwWD3_56r8UZWFHgn) and many other Scandinavian composers especially composing these type of works.

That being said, again, there are tons of movements in classical music now. People like to dumb it down to just postminimalism a la Richter and Bang on a Can but that's a small subsection of the world.
