Reading Assignment #2 Question

Experimental Music- John Cage

From what I can understand, what Cage is trying to say is that music should not just be a combination of sounds  that is purely intended to insert emotions in its listeners, but instead be a combination of sounds that work on their own to bring out a mix of emotions and give the listeners something new. How do you think Cage would feel about the music we have today, where a majority of popular songs are composed of computer produced sounds, and lyrics that are meant to provoke simple emotions?
