Which genre of music will dominate next?

[Me. I Am Salman]

In the last 15-20 years or so there's been a europop/pop age, dance age, R&B age and recently the resurgence of dance/europop, albeit in a more half arsed form, but it's starting to die.

What will be next

I hope it's R&B :( but it doesn't seem likely

[Me. I Am Salman]

I think there's been a thread like this before :suspect:

[Drew.]

if it counts towards being a genre then acoustic seems to be getting pretty popular at the moment

[Mrluvaluva]

Yes there has. The new music revolution will come in the form of thrash medieval ballads with fusions of oratorio.

[Smithy]

House

[Niamh.]

Jazz man

[LemonJam]

I hear Balinese Gamelan is headed for the mainstream nowadays.

[Mrluvaluva]

Ratchet, drill and trap.

That is soooo last year. :hmph:

R&B was the 2008/2009 scene - bored of it. It's not even decent either, it's people like Rhianna trying to be somebody.

I wanna see the Indie scene of 2006 coming back to be honest, and abit of early Noughties dance. :worship:

banghra

[Shaun]

but no, K-Pop probably.

[Me. I Am Salman]

R&B wasn't 2008-2009 :conf2: that's when it started to die
and it was the best era.

[InOne]

Triphop is making a comeback.

Sorry, I meant the likes of Taio Cruiz, Chris Brown and Jay Sean acting like they were RnB artists in 2009.

Decent RnB died years ago, but as a guy that likes to party - you can't exactly do that to RnB, when I think of RnB - I think of a more chilled out vibe.

Music is starting to get more urban again, thanks to Unapologetic pushing the boundaries.

But i'd like a more hiphop/r&b/urban sounding chart again, like 2001-2007

Frank Ocean just put R&B back on the publics radar last year. Maxwell is due to release another album this year which will be huge (in the US atleast), R. Kelly is dropping the music that's going to be critcally acclaimed that he has been doing the last few years and is going back to the stuff that will sell well instead, Justin Timberlake is about to release another album, Usher is slowly getting back into the R&B scene and away from pop, The Weeknd will be huge when he releases a proper album, Jamie Foxx will probably have something up his sleeve after all the Django stuff dies down, Nelly has an album due out, TGT will be big in the States when they release their album, Mario and Akon are also due to release something aswell. So hopefully R&B.

[Me. I Am Salman]

I forgot Akon existed

[LemonJam]

Triphop is making a comeback.

I can actually see this happening. It seems like it's been making a gradual return over the last year. It'd be a mundane, poppified version though.

[Brother Leon]

Trap Rap due to the great Chief Keef.

[Niall]

I think some weird fusion of electronic and acoustic music might happen but who knows.

What's more likely is that there will just be more derivatives of house flooding the charts for a while, and following other electronic genres will maybe get more popular and start appearing en masse?

I'd love to see a trip hop resurgence though. :amazed:

[Me. I Am Salman]

the fact that EDM is back :bawling:

[Kizzy]

REGGAE!

[King Gizzard]

It stays the same to a large extent

spoons are making a come back

[Jack_]

Smithy wins

The EDM dominance and popularity over the last year or so has given me life <3 long may it continue

[Jack_]

It'll either be R&B again or indie next I reckon

[Benjamin]

Jazz is starting to make a strong reappearance and I have a feeling a modern genre of it is making a slow claim to be the next.

[Loukas]

House

this all over. It will be House, no doubt.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Tbh I don't care what dominates
it's just annoying when certain artists ditch their genre and hop on the bandwagon like so many R&B singers did in late 2010/2011

[james130]

I think the altern/indie scene's gonna come back.
