Mapman, Don't tread on my Bach!
Sorry, but I'm going to respectfully disagree with your thought that Bach had been of a more recent time he would have emulated the Devo style. For that, see Mozart or Handel. In actual fact, JSB continued writing music in the high Baroque style long (25 years) after virtually everyone else had moved on. His own sons considered him an anachronism. He got nothing but grief from the knuckle headed Liepzig clergy and his own family, but he kept right on producing the most divine, sublime music ever conceived at a superhuman rate.
JS Bach knew who he was. He knew what he was doing and why he was doing it, and it had nothing to do with considerations common to normal human beings.
Sorry, but the man who wrote, Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaach, nun its mien Jesu hin, had no Devo.
