What kind of music do you think will be popular in 20 years? Will we even use electric guitars and basses? Will Polka make a re-surgance? Will a tuba be the best bass for metal? Maybe it will all be computer generated and performed by flawless androids that look like Tiny Tim? Will the hurdy gurdy be the new electric guitar? Will the average song last 15 seconds or the time it takes Mick Jagger to makeup his face?

I don't think there will be any real music being made 20 years from now.
I will be a total geezer by then so I don't care.

...waiiiiit, that already happens. (in Top 40, "popular" music at least...rock and its subgenres are save...for now)

I'll be an old fart as well, trying to remember why I'm in the room I just walked into. The stuff I've been listening to for a long time has never been popular, so it won't matter on that front either.

Pop punk or nu metal is about due for an 'ironic' resurgence (Pitchfork does a retrospective on Limp Bizkit...hahaha). I've also heard that sax solos are about to make a come back in pop and rock music... That's a serious one.
Perhaps pop music will finally exhaust all of the 80s cliches it is running through at the moment, and then move on to the 90s. Grunge? |

They did have the biggest selling album during the ten year period of 2000-2009.
Why not? |

Aerosmith came back strong after almost a decade away, why not Disney teenie boppers?

tuba will be the best bass MADE of metal.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2010 Location: Lloegyr | | | I suspect we're already seeing it -
charts becoming more and more irrelevant in terms of being where people find out "what's happening".
More and more fragmentation, everyone into whatever they want to be into.
People not associating so much with a single style of music for purposes of identity.
Better general awareness of musical history.
Recognition that the big-business, big money stuff is a bit 'lowest common denominator', and that that's OK, because there's great stuff happening all over too.
Occasional DSP advances leading to some new sounds but nothing really genre-making.
Music being less important in its own right to a lot of people as richer multimedia and social networking experiences become available.
Super-low latency networks developed for gaming and video calls allowing people in different cities to jam with each other.
