Subject: 2013 predictions

Written By: batfan2005 on 11/28/12 at 5:56 am

Now that 2013 is just over a month away, and assuming the world does not end on 12/21, what are your predictions for next year? Musically, I'm not sure how much it will change, but I'm guessing less Lady Gaga and LMFAO type of stuff and more indie rock and some other type of dance pop, and more hip-hop and R&B. I also think Gangnam Style will be forgotten as a past fad. With movies, its easier to predict. Promising titles coming to theaters next year include: Man of Steel, Iron Man 3, Star Trek Into Darkness, 300: Rise of an Empire, Fast and the Furious 6, Oz: Great and Powerful, Hangover III, Scary Movie 5, and a few others. With sports, I predict the Atlanta Falcons will win the Superbowl :).

Music aint' changing guys. Get over yourselves.  :P Music doesn't just magically change in one year. It slowly transitions overtime along with pop culture in general and it wasn't until 2008 that we had a real true change in music. It may change slowly but it won't be dramatic out of nowhere. 2013 will be a fun year for me personally as I turn 18 and graduate high school. Eminem is returning for his final album and I see artists like Carly Rae Jepsen, Kesha and Lady Gaga (comeback perhaps) being popular in 2013.

The transition has already started. 2012 already sounds a lot different from the Lady Gaga/Ke$ha dominated years of 2009/2010. Lady Gaga's popularity faded in 2011, and as you mentioned, it would take a comeback for her to have that kind of popularity in 2013. I didn't even think 2008 had that drastic of a change, even though that was when Lady Gaga made her debut. It has been mentioned in many other threads that 2006 was a big change because of Timbaland.

I'm guessing in 2013 we will here more music like One Direction, Gotye, and CRJ (can I abbreviate her name like that? I think it would be cool  8) ;))

and Autotune :D It's actually quite interesting how not only the U.S. but many other parts of the world are dominated by EDM now. I think if somebody from the early 00's visited 2012 they would think it's so futuristic with the autotune and techno everywhere.  ;D Music really sounded that different back then that people would think it's so technologically advanced and futuristic now with EDM everywhere lol. EDM will stick around for the entire decade I think but it may slowly decrease in popularity like Crunk music did in the 2000s. 2013 is more of the same stuff with a few changes like all other years. It may be a boring year to some because there will be no Olympics and no presidential elections in the U.S. as it's the year following it.

Lindsay Lohan might have at least 1 alcoholic beverage in 2013.

Mitt Romney will dump hundreds of cans of "Latino Spray Paint"  from an airplane, after rolling down the window exactly 47% of the way down.

Clint Eastwood will auction off a chair on ebay (only a few teeth marks on it)

Big Bird will teach us the words "up" and "down" while he rides in Mitt Romney's house elevator, and then leave a crap in it.

The ghost of Marilyn Monroe will rise from an 18th century battleship plowing through Lake Erie on the 4th of July.

A pimpled face high-school dropout will  discover that "Arby's special sauce" will cause wrinkles to go away.

Music can change quickly in just a few years.  2008-09 saw the end of the urban dominated charts and the dawn of the age of electropop.  Given that electropop is fastly losing its appeal, we could be in for another change in the next few years.  Much of it depends on how Lady Gaga, the queen of the genre, does with her next album.  I personally think rock and rap are going to make a comeback.  Eminem is really responsible for making hip-hop the genre of the '00s.  He was the one that brought hip-hop to suburban white kids.  I hope his next album really delivers and shakes things up.

My prediction may or may not take place specifically in 2013 but should happen within the next 1-3 years:

I predict that the next Elvis or Beatles or Michael Jackson or Nirvana, in other words, the Next Big Thing everyone has been waiting so long for, will come out of Asia (more specifically, China, Japan, or South Korea). Just as the Beatles spearheaded the British Invasion in the 1960's, I think there's going to be an Asian Invasion in the 2010's.

Chinese Elvis is coming.  :o

Like, Hi, Fer Shurr,

I truly wish that technology would move even FASTER than it's going to, but, anyway, here are my predictions (and some of my WISHES) for 2013 (for America, anyway):

* Lindsay Lohan will be arrested at LEAST once.

* Japanese robot companions will become more affordable to lonely Americans.

* Mall bangs will make a return (please?), but new variations on Mall Bangs will exist (Ie: "Dairy Queen"/ "Foster's Freeze" bangs, and other, twisted up to the heavens, soft-serve-inspired styles).  Even women who DON'T have bangs will rat their Front Section Pollyanna hairstyles to the sky.

* Bubble gum pink, baby blue, mint green, and banana yellow will make a return as the coolest fashion colors EVER, a la 1986!

* Mattel WILL release a My Favorite Barbie doll of the SECOND Edition of Rockers Barbie (Please, Mattel?).

* A Hunters/ Home-Protectors VS. Gun Control Supporters battle will rage in America, and Green supporters of Gun Control will outfit their children in all kinds of Bambi-inspired/ nature-themed clothing, emphasizing the innocence of both children and wild animals.  Gun show enthusiasts will face wave upon wave of angry protesters, and gun shows will have to be security-guarded, policed, etc.  G.I. Joe toys will be banned by many, many parents, and military fatigues will cease to be seen as making fashion statements.
 
* I will finally have the guts to leave the house dressed in "futuristic" cellophane and tin foil dresses.  Maybe I should wear such clothing on Halloween, 'cause I've always wanted to popularize both the cellophane dress and the tin foil dress, although I know that such dresses would be impractical in a bathroom.  ;D

* Scientists will develop ways by which to surgically implant tracking devices within children during the hours following their births, so that, by the year 2015, any child who is kidnapped will be able to be tracked.

* Scientists will develop a process by which any person/ couple can create a "Designer Child".  By 2020, such a baby will be able to be created, bearing the physical looks, the level of health, the personality, and even the aspirations and talents that the parents wish for him or her to bear.  By 2020, parents will also be able to choose their level of commitment to parenting, because they'll be able to "adopt" robot babies, and children, but they'll only have to keep them for as long as they wish to do so; robot technology will be improved during the year 2013, and during the following years.  Oh, and if somebody really wants to "bring their deceased child back to life," they'll be able to do so by 2020, because, during 2013, scientists will develop, and improve, a plan, by which one can clone their deceased child...at that child's present level of development, so that the clone will be an exact replica of the child as they were before they became ill (or were killed, etc.), to the extent that the clone's memory bank will be an exact replica of that of the deceased child.  Thus, if your child dies on January 1, 2020, they can literally walk back into their room, just as they could have during 2019, by January 15, 2020.

* Scent chips will be able to be surgically implanted under one's skin, so that if you wish for your skin to exude the scent of Country Vanilla, that wish can be granted.  Oh, and these chips will be able to be programmed, so that if you wish for, say, your lower abdomen to be more heavily scented, thus helping you to attract suitors, that wish can be easily granted.  During regular check-ups, your doctor will be able to program a different scent for you, so that if you wish to be scented like Cherry Pie, after being scented like Country Vanilla for a year, you can easily switch scents.  Celebrities will try to convince people to have THEIR scents implanted underneath their skin.

* Single mothers will start arranging to live with both their Co-Habitation partners AND their Baby Daddies, so that their childrens' lives will be sufficiently supplemented, and parents will begin allowing children 10 and older to live with their friends' families for long stretches of time.  It will become commonplace for a 12-year-old girl to live at her 13-year-old boyfriend's house, with his family, for a year or so.

* American men will buy into the no-chest-hair-on-men fad, forever destroying my best fantasies about them!  Nooo!  I really hope that men DON'T buy the No-No in droves!

* Mobs of homeless, jobless, and/ or runaway Americans will inhabit foreclosed businesses, and a sort of "Rebel Without A Cause" scene will be prevalent, with tons of babies being born in abandoned buildings, homes, etc. to unmarried, unemployed couples between the ages of 12 and 75.

* The birth control debate ("Which gender should take the birth control?") will be ended when gallons of birth control fluids are dumped into the American milk supply, to be consumed by both men and women.

* Women will become so fed up with the color pink, and the fact that it represents every female idea BEYOND breast cancer awareness, that even though they'll keep pink as the representative color for breast cancer awareness, they'll start wrapping baby girls in colors other than pink, and some other color will start becoming the hot color for girls, and women, to wear.  I vote for yellow!
 
* Ladies who are former inmates will adopt the color orange as a fashions statement, and Linday Lohan will officially be crowned "The Patron Saint of Female Inmates"!  Lady Gaga will get in on the act by wearing two scooped-out orange peels as a bra and an orange bedpan as a bussle.

* As the Anti-Christian sentiment grows, Christians will awaken on Christmas Eve 2013 to find mobs burning Christmas trees on their lawns.  "Christian Shelters" will be built, allowing Christians to celebrate Christmas in their basements.

* Weird Al Yankovich will adopt a Ryan Seacrest hairstyle, prompting former fans to cry "Hypocrite!"

* Johnny Depp will appear in a movie with Justin Bieber, outraging Freddy Highmore when he calls Bieber "The NEW Freddy Highmore!" and "my FAVORITE person!"

* Lady Gaga will remake the song "Doctorin' the House" with Justin Bieber, P Diddy, and Taylor Swift.  ;D

I wish that I could make some brighter predictions, but America's sanity died during 1999, and America died on 9-11.  If we can't dig ourselves out of this eyebrow-deep pile of horse pucky, then we're either gonna have to "enjoy" or make everything better.

Whenever I go back up to Nebraska to visit my family, I avoid fueling up there if I can help it. Gas is usually 15 to 20 cents cheaper per gallon in Missouri, and on the way back to Kansas City today I paid $2.85 a gallon in Platte City, MO (about 20 miles north of KC on I-29).

Thank you GasBuddy!  ;)


In Toronto we are paying about $1.00 to $1.50 a gallon more than you guys. Be happy with what you have.

But that's always been par for the course, hasn't it?

As far as I can remember, yeah. I always fill up the car when returning from the USA. But $1.50 difference is quite a but more than before.
