Every decade has their popular genre that defines the era. The question is, what will characterize our era? It seems like rap and R&B are inevitably part of this decade, as it has been the past couple of decades, but this first decade of the new millennium has offered a new age for the alternative punk. Punk and emo music welcomed the new millennium with it's comeback. Breaking out in the early 2000s with groups such as "Bright Eyes," "Motion City Soundtrack," and "Taking back Sunday."These true indy classics brought the alternative music back on the scene true alternative indy and it was later popularized by groups such as "Fallout Boy," "All American Rejects," and the sell-outs "Greenday."
So who will bad boys Kanye West and Chris Brown share their role of characterizing a decade of music with the girly emo bad boys or punk heart throbs? Only time will tell.

I happen to have "the second sight"
ReplyDeleteA prophet.
A seer,
A soothsayer,
One gifted with certain clairvoyant abilities.
So not only will time tell, but so will I.
Essentially, This is what will happen...
While the rising role that electronics has in music may cause one to posit that as the future of music, this is altogether false.
See, with all the pirating going on nowadays, it will come to the point where it is unreasonably impractical to buy music, and so downloaded music will be just about the only way that people obtain music.
So, the music industry will collapse. There will be no more record companies, no more labels.
there will still be music, there will always be music, but this new generation of musicians will do it simply because they love music, regardless of the monetary implications of their efforts. Because they lack both the means and the wish to obtain significant wealth, they won't have the electronic gizmos, just talent.
THAT is the future.
Go! Spread the truth to all of your musically inclined friends, and do it quickly!
Hmm..dunno who sociopathic destructobot is, but the whole pirating issue is becoming worse. But yes, there has been a wide variety of music and I enjoy many genres of them and the music industry will only continue to gain more talent, and sometimes lack-there-of, over time.
