Atonal music isn't dead. Serialism, maybe, but not atonality in general. You'd be hard-pressed to find a modern composition that doesn't incorporate some amount of atonality, or at least a shaky tonality. And music is still music, it's just not sound until it's played. There's a difference between music on paper, and sound you can hear. Without the music on the paper in the first place, you can't hear it besides in your head because it's not there to be played. Like I said, music is still music when it's on paper.
EDIT:
I'm kind of sleepy lol, so some of what I just wrote might not make sense. XD
