There are some very good reasons why modern designers don't use background music. Elements don't blink and strobe like they did in the 90s. The time for skeuomorphic visual design is over. We've learned from our mistakes. Instead, we embrace technologies that help convey the site's meaning and purpose to the user. Sometimes that takes the form of a fancy JS single-page scroll (http://www.apple.com/iphone-5s/ http://www.apple.com/iphone-5s/) to give a more natural flow to a traditional sales funnel. Sometimes that means robust streaming video (https://developers.google.com/youtube/ https://developers.google.com/youtube/), so people can watch live music or election coverage from home. Sometimes, it's adding a Leaflet map widget to one of the most design-conservative sites on the web (https://twitter.com/LeafletJS/status/240820008605851648 https://twitter.com/LeafletJS/status/240820008605851648) to help people find new apartments. All of these sites are elegant and work as expected, and they rely on far more than HTML4 and inline style tags to do so.
