Revolutions are celebrated when they are no longer dangerous

It's a good quote from Pierre Boulez and it got me thinking as it kind of follows on from David Stubbs book.

Extremes in visual art are now pretty acceptable as part of mainstream taste and virtually all rock n roll (inc Punk) and related genres are now safely consigned to the murky shallows of nostalgia.

So what is there left in music that is too raw and dangerous to get the BBC4 / Sunday broadsheet / Mojo retro treatment?

I would say that Free Jazz and the 12 Tone serialists are still out on the frontiers of popular taste. Anything else in music that hasn't charmed the bourgeoisie and been used to sell some product or another?
