I think that most of these are correct. However, some of them were, or at least became after time, a combination of objectives. For instance, Pop art: while it did very much reflect the current, I always read it as a call for change. I mean, why else reflect the socially constructed signs that we were fed to make up our identity if not to urge some sort of change?

Pop art was definitely reflecting the current. It hardly seemed like pop artists had a goal in mind except to utilize modern channels of popularity and recognizability to enhance their art and image.
