Where is music going?

Grunge revival. No doubt. Its sound has even made its way into metallica's new album.

just wait for all the baby boomers to die off friend
the leftists won't have anyone left to whine about besides the ringleaders, rather than their current stance of complaining about the easily led populace.
maybe we might actually get some change in twenty years or so

What seems to be happening is a lot of new acts that are still small are hacking their way through. They aren't in my country particularly famous. (I do ask people on the street, get the vibe, what goes on)

As these smaller acts build up a fan base (someone knows lil yachty who speaks to someone who buys the 1975 both know who rag n bone man is) it will create a connected audience through music taste

The bigger the crowd gets for these still quite small bands, well

It coagulates the crowd untill someone else comes along, sets it all fire and rips through all these audiences and then everyone has heard of them

That is someone that is 15 now trying to get served booze at the moment, but that's my best guess

What the music will be god knows, it's not really that important

I've noticed that the EDM with hard drops and obnoxious synths isn't really big in pop music anymore. Most of the trendy new stuff is more minimal and trap-influenced. Even """indie""" pop and singer-songwriter follows a slow and trap-influenced style.
I wish we could get a techno revival but I doubt it, I imagine the synthwave sound will work its way into pop (I picked up some influence on the new Weeknd album), while rappers will keep making shitty R&B/dancehall until that trend dies.

I doubt rock will come back anytime soon. Even the actual indie rock bands in my area are either incorporating electronics or just hounding Meme Demarco

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

fashion has followed a 17-20 year cycle for over half a century (and probably longer), it isn't going to stop now

it's literally a result of human reproductive lifespan and drinking age etc

Adele, Taylor and Bieber are still young.

kill yourself faggot

I feel like that 90s Jazz/Hip Hop might return, Childish Gambino's 2020 album could be a comeback to that with a Kimasi Washington collab that starts it all. Maybe intellectualism could dominate hip hop for a couple years.

Rock and EDM needs to fuse, people need to get that normal rock is dead and stuff like Europe's Final Countdown is what ironic millennials like so why not just new tracks like that?

Jungle needs to make a comeback in EDM.

Generation Z will be such a hilariously conservative generation that Classical will become huge and we might even see Gregorian Chants make a comeback or instead Nasheeds.

But with actual content. The best models would be Wire, or at least Magazine. I like JD, but when people tried to imitate them, they had a narrow idea of what they wanted to achieve, based mostly on the superficial aesthetic of the model band, and not so much on musical ideas.

holy shit are you literally saying jazz samples=intelligent

>>69336665
this shit insane sounds like arca+amnesia scanner+trap and i like it

next wave will be an inverse of the late 80s/early 90s, with hip hop breaking free from the "money first" view that has kept "alternative hip hop" from really erupting (as rock did after the hair metal craze), while rock (specifically something rooted in punk) goes through a creative renaissance (as hip hop did during the golden age). Whether or not it will be labelled a "grunge revival" remains to be seen, but it will sound only vaguely similar so I hope not.

touring bands may finally become financially viable as well

The industrial/synthpunk revival is on its way, no doubt.

Even without guitar-based music in the mainstream, there's still an audience for dark, angry shit that isn't rap. With the political scene being what it is now there's probably even more of an opening for that kind of cultural iconoclast.

Breaks / bboy hip hop is doing just fine already m8

Will do

>>69336772
I think your timeframe may be a little off but I agree with this. It's late in the decade, whoever owns the next 10 years is already doin their thing.

most retarded post of the year, congrats

Well, heck! I'll just ask for permission when I decide to copypaste a random reddit post next time

music is gonna go VR baby

also guitar solos will be cool again

music just like film and literature has run off it's course

music just like film and literature is already archaic and will die in the near future

video games and virtual simulations reality which combine elements of the three will be the future of art and humanity

>>69337911
*virtual reality simulations

>>69337925
you're already in one

>>69337642
im talking about cutting edge underground shit

dudes like xxxtentacion, wiki, etc etc who all have huge talent but also seem to ckearly look at it as "money first"

>>69337974
none of those are cutting edge underground

>>69337781
I doubt it , there's still five years still to go to set off the 20's or longer. Might not come till much later if the war escalates
I think the rest of this decade is treading water BUT I MIGHT BE WRONG

>>69336323
Taytay will release the best pop album of the 10's and /mu/ will have a meltdown about admitting to like it or nor.

look at the past few big cultural revolutions, they all had their roots late in one decade and blew up rapidly the next

Nirvana started in 86 or 87, grunge blew up in the early 90s

punk, post punk, and new wave bands started popping up in the mid-late 70s, and these trends then came to define the 80s as well as give birth to alternative rock

Hip-hop artists will continue incorporating features of rock into their music (like Lil Uzi, XXXtentacion, and Lil Peep do), and rap as a whole will become more rock-like and alternative, but pure rock will continue to die out.

>i only listen to big names

>>69338643
I think the rules changed with the millenium really
And anyway, whoever blows up big may only be 15 now, while some older kids in their 20s are the ones getting the field ripe for reaping
