where do you see music in 5 years?

Suffy

Now im talking purely mainstream here in 5 years what do you see as the popular genre? do you think its going to still be rap (and all its supgenres of hiphop and r/b), or will hard rock make a triumphant return, will soft rock climb the ladder of popularity or will pop take its place back at #1

some may call me crazy for this but i can honestly see dance rock being up there, its actually pretty easy to see, we have boy kill boy, bloc party, arctic monkeys, the killers, mobile, franz ferdinand some of these names are alreayd pretty big and the others are only growing i can really see dance rock being the most popular mainstream type music in 5 years,

i dont see hard rock regaining its throne anytime soon as killswitch is one of the few good hardrockering bands out there and its too much of a shift from the current scene maybe in 10-15 years but def not in 5

as for soft rock like coldplay and bands like that (too lazy to list them) i can see them up there but to me theres always those who no matter what will never like soft rock and that will always keep it in second

pop i dont see it going back to 1 any time soon its lost to much credibility to almost all female pop singers having to strip naked basically to gain any exposure and that leads away fans who want music and if they want naked chicks they search some pron

I say it will mainly be the same. I mean of course there will be new bands, but IMO it wont be changed that much, I mean look at 2001, Its pretty much the same now than it was back then IMO.

I have to agree 100% with suffy everything you said in that post i do think will happen and well coldplays stuff could be up at top that type of genre i think will challenge the top spot all in all nice good music i do see for the forcoming future

Thx Ryno for banner ^

Im gonna say soft rock. Just look at the Top 10. John Mayer, the Fray, Nickelback, etc.

I honestly think that Indie will be on top, then rock, metal, and Rap will...hopefully be know where to be seen.

no affense dave i cant see metal making that strong of comeback in only five years time bc of right now metal is looked down quite heavely by mainstreamers and for it to make a comeback from being so low to number 3 in only 5 years i think its too much, i can see metal coming back when all the people who grew up in the 80's have kids teaching their children what music they listened to but i dotn see metal up there for at least...10 years at least

I'm sure it will prolly be the same. Ganster Rap will prolly get bigger with the production of new Suburban White Kids but it's kind of hard to predict what will happen.
