Answer:This seem to be Modernism.

Explanation:Struggling with conventions with society is reflected in the modernist view that traditional beliefs, philosophy, science and art are ill-fitted to their tasks being not in line with real environment. As for music, the unsettling character might be explained by the fact that Modernism in music had a tendency to reflect social disorder, decline of civilization and its transformation to cold machinery and capitalism. And finally, individualism is another characteristic of Modernism since it is focused on self-conciousness and belief of the person to reshape, reform and improve the environment.
