The WDR, a German radio station, had a program called "Open House", when
I was around 14 years old they played all kinds of "less popular" music,
not at prime time, but during the night and the early morning. Btw. I
was and I'm still a fan of the Beatles :) and I love old school hip hop.

Maybe they played Schoenberg where you live ... but I never heard of
this kind of stuff until much later in my life when I did some serious
musical studies. Maybe not serious enough ... I think that Schoenberg
and other of that ilk are no better than the rap you mentioned earlier
and are really just examples of folks showing how smart they (thing)
they are.
But, when I was growing up the radio featured the Everly Bros, Beatles, etc. I'm 50
and I'm 47. This is the point. When we were young and turned on the
radio at night they played Arnold Schönberg, Bill Laswell, ..., Vienna
Art Orchestra. Today they play Lady Gaga and the Black Eyed Peas, this
crap has nothing in common with music. The kids don't know music,
because people of your and my age make the play lists for the radio.
