I think that's the main point Orlando - we don't have any expectations.
When 
this "new" music came about, listeners not only had their current 
expectations not only not met, but thrown out the window, and to add
insult 
to injury in their view, there were no new expectations presented in their

stead. I think this resulted in what they considered a completely 
disorienting listening experience.

Now that we've had time to reflect (and there's a body of work), we can at

least expect some things, however, they are still not the traditional 
expectations so many people have come to know and love (and maybe even 
be"brainwashed" into accepting).

And of course this brings up another issue: some composers replaced the 
expectations with others, and other composer chose to write in a manner 
where listener's expectations are not part of the equation.
