Where is music going for the last stretch of the 2010s and 2020s stylistically?
hopefully more remarkable places than meme rap, vapor wave, more alt indie shit, and trap music
It's regressing to more simplicity in an ironic way. I suspect in the coming years it'll go full so that there will actually be post-ironic experimental music. Basically, from a musical standpoint we're in the 60s, and we're gonna reach the 67-69 golden age.

Trap is legitimately one of the most uninspired genres I've ever listened to next to noise. I don't know why people like it. The beats are so simple and they all sound the same, and yet it constantly tops the charts. Why is Travis Scott even famous?

Is it gonna make Woodstock 2019 more interesting?

vaporwave will become mainstream

Where Jim Morrison (in a 1969 TV interview) predicted it would go: wherever Grimes takes it.

I already knew that, but I never thought that people would like such a shitty, minimal, no-talent type of music. I thought people liked their popular music overproduced and with simple chords.

Vaporwave can't be mainstream since it's anti-cap. As soon as it starts to become mainstream, all the good artists will abandon ship.

that doesn't mean it won't be extremely popular.

Fair enough
A common production technique of 2010s rock is to drench every instrument in reverb.
God, I fucking hate this. Reverb should be used tastefully. If you just spam it in the mix then you just sound like shit.
