Subject: What will the next musucal trend be?
Well the late 90's on its way out. Anybody want to guess what the next musical trend will be for the mid to late 00's?
Subject: Re: What will the next musucal trend be?
Hopefully nothing like we've seen so far in the 00's. :P
Subject: Parodies!!!!
Given the lack of original music being written, as the 00s go on there'll be a trend towards putting original lyrics to known tunes, with parody artists being paid humungous sums of money and getting huge public acclaim.
That's a prediction, folks...

Subject: Re: What will the next musucal trend be?
I don't understand why everyone says there is no good music in the 00s. There are a lot of bands out there who write great music. You just have to look a little further than MTV and the local top 40 radio stations.
Whatever the next trend will be it will be loathed just because it is that, a trend.
Subject: Re: What will the next musucal trend be?
Hard to explain my prediction, but I'll describe it as "rough".
The next music trend(s) will shaped on future events. Sept. 11th changed the style of music. Before 9/11, music seemed to be "innocent" and "fantasy-like" IMO. Today, the music seems much more "down to earth" and "serious".
I think I'll like the new music trend, whatever it may be.

"Innocent?" "Fantasy-like?" What were Marilyn Manson and Eminem before Sept. 11/01? Choirboys? Don't think so. They were causing as much controversy before then as they did after. Don't you remember them being blamed for the moral decay of society because people were committing suicide and acting all violent...and they just happened to listen to their music? I don't think anything changed musically because of the terrorist attacks, except that there were a lot of tributes going towards rebuilding the morale of New York City, and to the memory of those who died as a result of the attacks. That's it. The style of music never changed. People's tastes never changed either.
As for whether the next musical trend will be shaped on future events, I doubt it. Trends usually go with whatever's hip and cool at the time, don't they? I don't follow trends. I like what I like, and that's it.

Subject: Re: What will the next musucal trend be?
Who knows what it will be? All I know is that that the popular music of the last couple of years has been far superior than most that came out of 1997-2000. Now, I'm not saying there weren't any good songs that were released in those years - there has been some fantastic stuff. I just think, on the whole, that 02 and 03 have brought some better pop, R&B, rock and indie stuff to the mainstream. Idlewild, Travis, The Chilli Peppers, Evanesence, The Coral, Muse, Sugababes, Stacie Orrico, Michelle Branch, Kylie Minogue, Ms Dynamite, Justin Timberlake, and even (my god I can't belive I'm admitting to this)...Girls Aloud (I think I'm losing it - quick, get my Clash CD's on!) have all made good songs in their given genres.
Whatever the new craze is, it can't be that much different to something we've allready had. It seems that everything is going getting revived, whether it be glam rock or synth pop. I just think as times move on, the charts will be full of the sterotypical artists, but will also gradually gain more diversity. Oh and not forgetting covers. I don't think we'll ever escape those. Mind you, for the 10 bad ones, there's one diamond cover - you just gotta look for it :)
Subject: Re: What will the next musucal trend be?
Synth-based stuff. New Wave or Progressive rock with an Ambient twist. Stuff like I write :-) : "Crystalline Bells", "Enchanged Garden", "Stiletto's Run" are just a few of my titles.
Subject: Re: What will the next musucal trend be?
Ill tell you what the next trend will be. It will be whatever the already too rich corporate suits want it to be. Whatever they think can make a big profit will be the next "big thing." Who cares if there is any actual talent involved.
Subject: Re: What will the next musucal trend be?
I dont like to call it a trend because Id like to see this genre go far, but I think its gonna be the recent garage rock revival, with bands like the White Stripes, The Strokes, Mooney Suzuki etc.....

I don't agree. Perhaps the mainstream was like that (though that hasn't changed much in two years), but I would hardly say that sub-genres like punk, hardcore, metal, hip-hop, darkwave, etc. could ever be described as "innocent". They've always been angry and/or depressed. As for the next trend, it will most likely be something that's already been done before, just given some kind of "modern" twist.

^He's just a kid, like 15 or 16. So ofcourse he thinks that music and the world in general before the 2000's was innocent and sweet. Teenagers always think that they are growing up in a much more gritty and violent world then anyone else before them. It adds to the whole, "we're a cooler generation then you and and we're very misunderstood because we are growing up in a world that just has to be so very different then what you grew up in blah blah blah blah" thing that teens have been talking about since the dawn of man.

I don't mean to be harsh, but that is rather patronising. I'm not saying I don't agree with you - beacuse generally I do, but you can't compare the lad's age to his opinion. I mean, I'm only 3 years older than him. He may not have heard music that you or I have heard in the past, thus clouding his opinion.
Anyway - jesuisunpizza, I have to disagree with you about music being 'innocent' before hand. Even some of the songs that can seem so 'angelic' can have hidden meanings that can totally freak you out. Go listen to some 70s punk, I think :] Or failing that, listen to some mainstream pre-90s records - tonnes of 80s popular singles contain themes of all that sex, drugs and rock n roll, not-so-innocent stuff. And don't get me even started on the 60s n 70s, they were probably worse for rebelling than the last 2 deacdes of the 20th century!
Subject: Re: What will the next musucal trend be?
That's true Criz. All one has to do really is fish out a copy of 'Nevermind' or 'Ten' or the first Rage Against the Machine album.

We can even go further than that, to the very beginnings of rock 'n' roll. Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis...pretty racy stuff they sung about! Not just innocent little songs about girls, oh no! There were hidden sexual innuendos in there! And let's not forget the frenzy "Rock Around The Clock" by Bill Haley And His Comets caused, especially when the film Blackboard Jungle, the first film to feature rock music, came out! And then there was their performance in Germany which caused a riot...:)

"Be-Bop-a-Lula" vs. "The Real Slim Shady"
They're actually comparable in amount of controversy they caused.

Oh yeah - silly me for excluding the 50s! What you said reminds me of a quote from a book I read whilst I was studying pop music and youth culture about 6 months ago.. (quickly goes to find photocopy of the text in old media folder)
''Pop has always fed off and expressed different attitudes about sex, and moral panics about the subject have marked the appearnce of each new pop sensation. Consider all the fuss about Elvis in 1956, when the fact that he had a d*ck was so revolutionary that he was filmed only from the waist upwards on one TV show at the time..."
Subject: Re: What will the next musucal trend be?
Artists I listen to now in the mainstream now would be Evanesence, Norah Jones, Jagged Edge, Usher, Ginuwine, R.Kelly, Staind, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, and Alicia Keys. It sounds like the stuff I grew up with in the 90's. Yes I know Some of the artists I named were around in the 90's. The rest of the music that comes out now I can't tolerate it. I just don't understand all the watered down rap music thats out now. A rapper like 50 Cent is a hit or miss artist. He's not 2 Pac. Where is the soul in music nowadays? When I hear R&B now I hear no soul. When I hear rock all I hear its some guy screaming over a microphone. When I hear rap its different songs with the same lyrics. Has music ran out of innovation? I like The Strokes. Thank god Fountains of Wayne came back too. I'm Only 24 years old and I feel like I'm older. At least people who were 40 years old in 1986 could listen to an R&B group like Debarge or an arena rock group like Duran Duran.

Are you comparing Duran Duran to the likes of Boston or Styx?? Let me clue you in on a few things:
1. "Arena Rock" was a 70's thing, not an 80's thing.
2. Duran Duran are not a rock group. They're a pop group, and when they first started out, they were regarded as New Wave.
3. R&B...real R&B...didn't exist in the 80's (much). DeBarge were fluffy pop. Even classic R&B artists like Aretha Franklin went fluffy in the 80's and so not R&B.
And since when did 40 year olds in 1986 listen to stuff like Duran Duran or DeBarge? They most probably were listening to music from their generation like The Beatles, Bobby Darin, or Frank Sinatra, just like old buggers like me are listening to music from their generation...the 80's!!! :)

I mainly listen to 80s to mid 90s music, and even that wasn't my generation. I just prefer it over 80% of today's music :]

About Duran Duran I guess you could label them "New Wave". I mean Grunge was considered rock in the 90's so why can't New Wave be considered rock music of the 80's?
Debarge was fluffy pop? Their not the Backstreet Boys or something. I agree the 80's really wasn't an R&B decade. R&B had more to do with production then than anything else than any other musical element. Debarge was a good group though.
My parents listened to 80's music. Todays music just lacks "substance".
Subject: Re: What will the next musucal trend be?
im not feeling most of the stuff the past couple of years. I am a rap/r&b fan primarily, and i can't even stomach all the crap thats on the radio now. Theres some good artists, Outkast Nappy Roots Alicia Keys Anthony Hamilton Javier, they all put out some good songs this year, however for the most part everything sounds so bland, neo-soul is really annoying, all the rap songs have that mainstream club sound now, and so much of the r&b wants to be rap. In rock, i sorta like Trapts song, AFI did some good stuff, Audioslave and Linkin Park were ok. Mostly though, the pop-punk and neo-metal stuff is so boring, i just can't get into it. Pop music..Justin Timberlake i thought he did ok.
I liked artists like Busta Rhymes, Jagged Edge, Matchbox 20, before they put out some of their latest stuff in the last couple years going towards todays sound...makes my ears bleed!
Subject: Re: What will the next musucal trend be?
Wow, I haven't read this topic in a while. As "innocent" I was thinking Spice Girls, Aqua, Britney Spears, etc. but I'm not going to get into this...
Subject: Re: What will the next musucal trend be?
I pretty much only listen to '60s and '70s music. 'Cuz IMO the're the best decades. ;) Unfortunatly I never had the experiance of living in these great times. :'(
Subject: Re: What will the next musucal trend be?
Thta's how I feel about the 80s Fred. Even though I lived through 6 years of them, I didn't exactly get to appreciate the era.
In the UK, this weekend has shown me how much the public want a change in music. Yesterday, Michelle (a size 22 lady) won the 2nd Pop Idol. Throughout the competition, young (and slim) people with fantastic voices, who fit the bill of a 'pop idol' were rejected as the weeks went on. To those from my parts who have watched the show would have heard 16 yr old Roxanne and 17 yr old Sam - both of whom (IMO) had fantastic fantastic voices, but were voted off before the final. It's obvious that the public are sick of the media manipulation of the 'stick thin young singer' - and they want someone with a good voice who is different.
Then today, the Christmas number 1 was announced. It wasn't a novelty record (as much as it would have been funny if Avid Merrion got to no1!), it wasn't the pop idol finalists, and it wasn't some bubblegum pop group. Michael Andrews feat Gary Jules with 'Madworld' got it. An 80s Tears For Fears classic, with fantastic lyrics and a slow melodic tune. This to me shows hope for the future.
Crappy songs are never going to disappear, I mean they were around in every era in popular music. But these two events this weekend have made me optomistic for the future in the music industry - an industry which I desperatly want to be a part of after I graduate.

Yeah Busta Ryhmes's new stuff I can't get into. Jagged Edge What happened to them? "Lets Get Married", "Promise", and "He Can't Love You" were the jams a couple years ago. "Walked Outta Heaven" is alright. Shouldn't done "Where The Party At": I think its stunnted their musical growth. They have seemed to gotten bland after 2001. Matchbox 20 is hit and miss.
I'm really into R&B and Rock. Rock music has become weak the last few years. The rap stuff I can't get into.

It hard to predict, but my theory is that industrial and techno are due to be the next big things. Anything that's artificial and without heart seems to be the way to go; that's not a reflection on the consumers, but it's the only new thing left that hasn't become a fad.

I think 'dance' music will look further back in time to develop new forms of old rhythms; sort of like Polka-hop etc. Metallica have already done this in their field, look at some of the classical construction of their earlier albums. I think electronic music can be more readily geared to exploit older rhythm systems, can't really see 'Salsa metal' catching on... on the point of fusions of wierd styles of music, could we see...
Polka-thrash; Male Voice Choir-techno; Gregorian Chant in an R&B Stylee; Jungle-Tribal (ethnic pygmy rap); Shopping-Trip-Hop (reciting your shopping list in a loud, aggressive manner); Raggaboneman (outtakes from Steptoe & son to hardcore beats); Punktry & Western, etc etc. Though this last lot are meant to be jokes, don't be surprised if some of them happen... ;D
