07.08.11 | interesting question. hopefully all of our favorite genres will still be around/being played by talented musicians keeping our favorite formulas alive but still switching it up a bit. of course, i love really crazy/experimental music, too. and i guess, (stereotypically, maybe) the music of 2100 and beyond will be like, SUPER crazy with a bunch of bleep bloops and electric harmonicas n shit |

I live in hope. Maybe they'll do away with the concept of a beat or rhythm and just go for gold. |

07.08.11 | yeah, beats are overrated. |

It's not like there are still bands around that make music like people from thousand or more years ago.[/Irony]
Apart from that, I highly doubt that the future is a shitload filled with crap. |

genres and sub-genres to make even newer sub-genres with occasional new genres being created. |

omnipanzer
07.08.11 | Rock, Electronica and all of their sub-genres would be the most obvious examples I could come up with. |

07.08.11 | It would be interesting if in 100 years something like classical came back into the foray. |

07.08.11 | tbh "fsharptrit0ne" I don't think it has ever really gone away it just has a lot more competition. Realistically most film orchestration could be considered classical and we listen to it all the time. Conrad probably has far more fully developed thoughts on this topic. |
fsharptrit0ne
07.08.11 | I know what you mean, but what if it was considered popular music in 100 years. Not gonna happen but js |

07.08.11 | In all seriousness, I don't think we'll ever go back to what people consider "classical music" as being "popular". If you listen to music in the "classical" realm being written today, it's certainly steeped in 18th/19th-century tradition but also audibly moving forward into a new era...presenters just aren't willing to program the stuff. No one person is to blame for this; it's just what has happened.
Who knows what the music of the future will be like? I sincerely wonder if anybody will be listening to what we consider "music" in a hundred years. |
omnipanzer
07.08.11 | We listen to what was considered music hundreds of years ago it just isn't a major form of
entertainment any more. |
Hyperion1001
07.08.11 | I've toyed with the idea of us completely running out of the ability to create original and unique music.
I mean there are only so many ways to arrange the musical notes we have.... |

07.08.11 | "We listen to what was considered music hundreds of years ago it just isn't a major form of entertainment any more."
Interesting hypothesis. Although as listening becomes a more interactive experience I wonder if it'll be "just" an aural experience - perhaps music will become something much more sensory. |

I imagine it will be. We have drastically increased our ability to manipulate "sound" (not referring directly to what we can "hear" but the whole thing) in the past 100 years yet music hasn't really adopted any of these changes and in a rudimentary sense remains essentially identical to what it was 400 years ago (Boards of Canada is the only thing I have really heard that is "different" in how you listen to it). So I imagine in the next century it will incorporate these changes and be a more whole body experience...or it could just stay the same and suck. |
