I mean, i do listen to nowadays music, but there's no need like just one kind of music or just from one era. There is great music in all times, but you have to admitt in matter of passion, melodic complexity, and even longevity it's a genre that is unique. And it isn't like that the music just stopped in time, there are many classical composers of modern era, some of the best composers are in the 1900s...
I just think people just should give a try, put the music and listen it how it is supposed to be listen, paying attention in each sound and devoting that just to apreccianting it, if you don't like it's OK, but many start telling shit witithout listening the music or listening it the same way you listen MGMT.
Anyway, for the young nowdays listening to classical music and aprecciating art is much more maverick than listening to Metallica, it's like breaking rules and stereotypes, not accepting commercial rebellion for angry teens, going against the stream. At least Alex from Clockwork Orange was much more maverick than any punk nowadays.
