So a composer can only control the "popular" appeal of what they're doing if they COPY what CULTURE arbitrarily dictates is POPULAR.

Or, they can do something new, and discover that people like it. Otherwise how have we gone from Bach to Benny Goodman? Seriously.
If a composer does something new, and discovers that no one likes it, but doesn't like whatever is currently popular, then try something ELSE new and see if people like that.
