Never made a video like this one before. What did you guys think? Also, follow my Instagram. Got something cool for you guys coming up. instagram.com/edtalenti
I'd say the style of music that really is and will continue to rule this decade is nostalgic music. Not a specific genre, not a specific era's sound. Just nostalgic music, music that sounds like before. It's always been popular to make songs that sound old but this decade will be filled with it.
Nostalgic music is always relative imo. In the early 2000s I feel people were nostalgic for the 80s sound. Nowadays I feel we adore 90s grunge and the early 2000s. Let me know what u think bro
yeah i think it's a response to "music was better back then" so music right now is pretty much a nostalgia trip to the past. Dua Lipa and The Weeknd brought back the 80s sounds, MGK and Olivia Rodrigo brought back pop punk, some hyperpop music brings back the bubblegum 00s pop, Y2K RnB has a small resurgence, etc
I just think these cycles just got shorter. Because as you said hiphop became popular in the 90s. But also grunge and punk became mainstream. In the 2000s brit pop and pop punk went popular which are new age punk and hip hop became club music. 2010s were the indie versus corporate music with indie artists become popular mostly on nostalgia and relatability and now the last year's of 2010s and start of 2020 trap music the new era hip hop became popular. The 2010s i believe was the recap decade. It showed us we want everything on the table and no corporate stuff. But with a twist. That's why i believe remastered genres will become popular till the end of the 2020s. New Era Rock. New Era Jazz. New era hiphop etc.
@@tantumrecords3380 I think there is always some mainstream although it can be less defined. I think music reflects culture, technology and art hence there will always be certain trends that come and go.
I feel an important thing to note is: in the past “30 year cycles” the internet wasn’t as prevalent as it is now. Because of that, I feel like there won’t be a next big sound. Music today sounds more genre-less than ever because artists have access to an endless source of inspiration (TH-cam, Spotify, etc.)
It feels like music will continuously be fragmented in genres from here onwards, we have started witnessing the death of multi-record selling artist. Kids-teens make up the highest music consumer group are growing up in a culture of new discovery short attention spans, music in a sense has become more of a background soundtrack to life and less of an idol fascination and less about melodic hooks. If I could have a genre back trending 2010s edm is still the best to me 💜
nothing hit like that, cripsy dub, loudpvck trap, the start of adventure club deep diving melodics. and of course we've always had the OGs Liquid, nectar, noisia, eprom, etc forming the underground thats become today! was a unique time, and its been a fucking ride to see the sound design we have today. check out Of the Trees, Chee, and Shades(eprom&alix perez). I truly believe these artists are shaping a wave on quality and one of a kind type of sound, that'll really influence and drive electronic music in whichever way it decides to go.
The next big genre will be genreLESS - any recognisable characteristics of prior genres will be either ironic, nostalgic or reverential references. The underground are bands like Black Midi and Black Country New Road, whose attitude - it seems to me - is to be entirely open to any genre - and so every genre = and so no genre...
We are at a golden age. There's room for everything now. It's feels like the 80's are back, but at the same time EDM is getting more popular. Hip Hop is still just as big at the same time. Today you can just find everything in the charts, I love it.
@@andyscott5277 I would argue that it’s a golden age for music listeners because we not only have access to all that music from the past, but we’re also getting new music in all types of genres. You might have to look past the charts to find some good stuff, but there’s tons of ways to find new music.
Nowadays ambient music seems to be the trend, for the past two decades music was all about dancing and feeling good, but as far as i've seen so many songs are now pursuing the "vibe", a more personal aproach rather than being reproduced at parties or to sing along. Music is more personal and intimate in the underground scene, so i think that it's the next mainstream boom. Amient, garage, downbeat, chill music that can be enjoyed at any hour and serves a purpose more than being an earcandy, but some sort of therapy aswell.
One thing's for sure, if and when people finally move past stereo files, ambient will be twiddling it's thumbs wondering what took everyone else so long.
You totally left out Rhythm and Blues, which gave rise to Rock and Roll, Soul and Country music. Disco ruled the 70’s and most of the 80’s. Disco actually gave birth to Hip Hop.
Absolutely. There are a TON of very important musical genres in the past century but to me the thread that connects all the big shifts in sound are the genres I mentioned. Country is always popular, it's kind of on its own lane. Blues is the foundation of both jazz and rock, but never got as mainstream as those other genres, with a few exceptions of course.
I have to agree with you Van. Everything in the charts was disco at it's height, and the same with soul before it. You can't leave the Motown era out. The 00s R&B era. The 10s EDM era etc. I like that Ed is sparking debate, but I don't think the theory holds up. Also pre information revolution and post are incomparable.
Low-key I feel like we're gonna bring back the grunge sound bc a good majority of the people I know and/or watch either is continuing to listen or make that type of sound again
I really have no idea what's next. I grew up in the 90's when shallow stadium rock and bubblegum pop was replaced by grunge and alternative. What a great time to discover music. Bands like Nirvana, AIC and Pearl Jam dominated the radio with awesome, heavy hooks and deep, meaningful lyrics that really made you feel something. Hip-hop at that time was deep and meaningful too. MCs like 2Pac, Tribe, Wu-Tang and Biggie were absolute poets. I thought music would keep evolving getting more artistic and expressionistic, but now here we are 30 years later and shallow bubblegum pop and mumble rap rules the charts. Whatever the next musical genre is I hope it has some real human emotion and meaningful lyrics. I'm so tired of songs about big asses, gucci and expensive cars. We got real issues going on in the world. Let's make some music that addresses these issues. It could be so therapeutic for the world.
Honestly I 100% believe that a good example of where music is going is Aries’ music! Blends punk rock and hip hop very well (not just distorted guitar with trap drums)
@@markb972 for sure someone will be able to get on this type of genre and bend it to their own style! I mean just by the voice they can change the style a lot!
I feel like neo-soul and post-rock stuff is "the underground" right now, although idk if it will have the same mass-appeal as popular genres from the past. And jazz has a lot of influence on both of those, so I think we'll continue to see a renaissance there too
I watched the video, I'm still confused about what makes you think music is going to change forever and why. Because genres become popular and fade over time? That feels like a very common insight. I think the biggest change we have seen over the past three decades is the cost of equipment no longer being such a big barrier for entry. Software has become much more intuitive and there is an abundance of knowledge about music production now freely available. We will continue to have an abundance of new music from every genre, past & future, because DIY bedroom studios are so much more feasible nowadays.
Ed is saying that the "30 Year" pattern is extremely likely to not apply to music nowadays because of the consumers controlling the mainstream (through TikTok etc.) rather than the industry controlling it. Also you are correct about the fact that music is becoming an art form that is becoming easier to create. Hell, even bedroom studios can have the ability to create beautifully polished, studio quality music just because of modern technology.
@@brotherbear808 That makes a lot of sense. Take Lil Nas X, for example. His super hit, "Old Town Road", was made on a laptop in his living room. The rest is history, so to speak.
I think we are in a time where artists making all kinds of music and not just being one “genre”. Like its more like you can seriously be an actual artist and not just a song maker. If that makes sense? I’m a relatively small artist (around 6k usual listeners on Spotify) but I’ve been able to grow a pretty loyal audience over the past year just making whatever kind of song I feel like making. I think it’s seriously an AMAZING time for music and creation. Kinda went on a tangent here but it’s just so exciting to me.
But your releases are similar, you almost always use guitar and similar bpms, also your flow doesn't change that much, I'm not hating, your music is good, just as not diverse as u may think
@@kazonikz you sure about that ? Lol I literally go from hip hop, to Midwest emo, to post hardcore. Youre totally welcome to your opinions. But I don’t think you heard quite enough of my releases if you’re saying that 😅 but fr though it’s cool you checked out my stuff
@@kazonikz also not tryna say im some good at music lol. my point was simply i just kinda make whatever I want and ppl listen. so its exciting to me :)
In my opinion certain musical genres have a prerequisite authenticity: for example, you can't just copy the musical features of punk music (sometimes musical talent can be a hindrance!). I don't know about you, but I like to listen to punk music made by punks, not just a track that Bieber made after he listened to an Offspring album. Or even worse, punk made by a pop artist because he heard that punk music sells well this year. There is something to be said for finding your own style and concentrating on and developing it. Making a completely different song every time is a finite process (you'll eventually run out of new songs to write!). You don't have to deliberately slot yourself into any particular genre, but having a consistent sound will keep the same people coming back; if they want to hear a certain sound that you bring, they know where to find you.
@@rocket811 not everyone is like that though. Some of my favorite songs are made when bands or artists branch out and do something out if there usual style. I would love to hear beiber on a punk track ngl.
That's why I use my movements to draw symbols all over the bathroom walls, to protest my parents authoritarian regime. My mum was so mad. But she deserves the poo on her walls if she keeps on refusing to buy me McDonalds. I tell her "A happy meal a day keeps my poo flushed away". No happy meal? Have fun scrubbing away that fecal swastika.
I’m hoping that regardless of genre, the music that’s released in the next few decades can become more honest and unique. With the empowerment of the independent artist in the past 10 years especially, more “genres” will become melting pots of different influences and hopefully not be so one-dimensional. Whenever music corporations get a grip on musical influence, they pump out music like McDonald’s pumps out burgers. I’m hoping we can see some more organic/gourmet varieties in the years to come.
Authenticity won’t be a hot commodity like Nirvana was until people truly realize they don’t like the shit they’re eating anymore / everyone becomes famous for useless shit and being famous for being talented and real will be a hot rarity.
yesss you nailed exactly the way i look at the way the history of music is with the cycle. i’ve always thought of it but never REALLY thought of it yaknow it’s cool to hear someone else speak on it and this subject. it really helps future artists find their own sound and know how to fit it into the puzzle of mainstream
If we're talking about underground music making a big break and becoming the new genre of music, I think it would be the Afros( Afropop,Afrosoul, Afrohouse e.t.c.) Afro Music has being making big waves in the global music scene lately and I feel if they can keep up with this trend, they(Afros) would become the REAL DEAL!
Maybe music will gradually get more atmospheric, with that 8d style sound, being more heavily reverbed, delayed, and panned etc. Or maybe everything will just end up having drill slide 808s for no reason 😂 who knows man
Well the slides u talking is and was being done in trap pretty much anything on bass nation have those glide 808 trap beats I fell like we will move pass that since we had the soundclick era where every trap beats had glides in them
@@zilleyy In the mainstream yeah good job because we couldn't even get rappers to rap on beats with that many glides in the states smh I give the uk props for that
I say this as music producer, singer, and someone who studies marketing, music theory, and jumps on the modern popular trends while using the same formula in my songs: the 80s and 2000s music era is back. This has been happening since early 2020 (pre-corona) with Dua Lipa and The Weeknd kickstarting it. The 2020s will definitely have 80s and 2000s music back throughout it and I feel like artists will get more creative control in the industry. Aside from jumping on these trends for the bank, the pandemic has brought back a lot of nostalgia for people which is why the 80s, 90s, and 2000s is popular again (even in kpop, it’s been 80s/2000s genre lately) . In the 2030s, I feel like music will start to turn genreless and artists will release music different from any other decade and a new wave of performers will own that era.
I personally think we're going to keep seeing different genres mixed with more aspects of pop music. I think more feel-good music is going to pop up and the drums will be mostly hip-hop influenced. Just my take 💪🏼
Grunge punk rock return speaks to current climate. Rage against, system of a down, have never stopped being great, however, the resurgence in popularity may be due to ppls sense of frustration with our global crisis & governments.
Everybody's been talking about how the charts have been full of throwback style songs, but Bruno Mars and The Weeknd have both been doing the whole throwback thing for a long time now, like half a decade.
What creates a NEW MUSIC GENRE is TEchnology, Electric guitar = Rock, Synthesizers + vocals = New wave, Synthesizer with no voice = EDM, Digital sampling = House etc, so to get a really new music genre we need a radical new "INVENTION/TECHNOLOGY" , maybe its all been done?
What ever the hell disco was had a massive impact on hip-hop, as it was disco breakbeats that people started rapping over. So, that massive mainstream genre that lots of people grew to hate, managed to live on through the new massive mainstream genre that people love!
more artist are diving into their emotions with their music, showing pain, frustration and sadness with the rise of mainstream artist doing more punk, grunge and rock pop. I think this is going to give birth to some really good cheesy classic soft rock, singer songwriter stuff going mainstream, like it was mid 90's. Let's see! I totally see kendrick leading the pack and doing some acoustic songs that break the mold, lets see who does it first!
It's any EDM genre. If you look closely to EDM Genres we had multiple cycles : 2009 - 2013 : dubstep (Skrillex, Zomboy, Knife Party etc...) 2013 - 2015 : Progressive House (Zedd, 3LAU etc...) 2015 - 2017 : Trap and Future Bass (Porter Robinson, The Chainsmokers etc..) 2018 - 2020 : Slap House (aka saint jhn roses type songs and you see here that this isn't a cycle I'm proud of :( ) 2020 - 2021 : Lofi? (Lofi started his own cycle in 2017 but with seeing leak into the mainstream in 2020 I believe this can be the next one. I'm talking about Powfu - death bed and Lil Nas X posting lofi remixes for his songs) But if it's lofi then it won't come by himself. It's background music so it will blend or there will be another genre dominating with it. Like in the Trap and Future Bass cycle.
Lmao powfu deathbed fell off so hard, I don’t think it goes by cycles anymore unless you wanna count what ever new genre all these artist destroy lonley, Ken Carson, xavierbase ex
I do feel there's a change to music becoming more passive, and people's discovery of music is also more narrow. People are discovering new stuff through algorithm recommendations from youtube, spotify etc, and those tend to pick things that are similar to what they already listen to. I suspect it's also a very long time since record companies looked towards up and coming live bands/trends, and seem to concentrate more on the lowest common denominator stuff. Rap is the interesting one because it seemed to grow by bypassing those routes, even if it's not my thing at all. I'd love to see music by actual bands become mainstream again, but younger generations seem to have lost a taste for it.
I Think Your theory might be correct ed , attention span keeps on falling as we progress through out the time , baroque era for example lasted for about a 150 years , classical era lasted for 100 years , romantic era lasted for 70 years and the genre after 1900s , as you said lasted for 30 years , yeah so whatever the new thing might be , it for sure will be a short one . Great Vid ED.
I have a feeling that the genre mashup vibe of hyperpop is really coming into the main stream - pop songs backed by drum and bass with with random elements of other genres thrown in is something I'm definitely noticing as a trend. Almost feels like a revival of the breaking the rules energy that jazz had a hundred years ago
"random elements of other genres thrown in" = identity crisis waiting to happen A mashup is, at best, a clever novelty. It cancels itself as genre because the whole point is to yank one tune and force it into another's key&meter and hear what happens.
@@shaft9000 - I feel you are focused on a weak definition of hyperpop. Wikipedia states: "Hyperpop is a loosely-defined music movement and microgenre characterized by a maximalist or exaggerated take on popular music. Artists tagged with the label typically integrate pop and avant-garde sensibilities, drawing on tropes from electronic, hip hop, and dance music." And everything is a mashup. But a good genre has a standard misuse of technology, rock had guitar, hip hop had decks and samples. Hyperpop is a misuse of computer and electric rigs.
First time here! I think this was a neat video and showing the 30-year cycle was pretty interesting. I'm no musical expert, but I've definitely seen a rise in a certain genre, although I don't know exactly what it's called. It's like a mix of Lo-fi/electronic, synth...and sometimes a hint of hip-hop? Weeknd still prevailing, Doja Cat, and Bazzi. Non-hip-hop but still Lo-fi/electronic synth would be up and coming Clairo and Cuco.
It's been done in the early 1990s under various idiomatic names: Mushroom Jazz, Trip-hop, Acid Jazz etc see: Coldcut, anything on Ninja Tune records, Adamski
I was just thinking about this haha. I swear it’s all going to be synth based music and complete digital control over any sound imaginable which I find to basically be synth almost alien type music. I feel like retro video game music are really starting to blossom and finally find a place in popular music.
Great video as always Ed! I definitely think we’ll see more fusion-type genres take over in the next few years, like hip-hop mixed with rock for example. Should be interesting to see what happens!
i just wanted to say that i realized the way music was kinda “moving” to pop punk, like i heard, realized, felt that change (which i know sounds pretty weird) but really, over a few months music has literally drifted right into pop punk. One day, i really just realized that like “ *poof* , now we enter a pop punk era”
Honestly! I think that up until now there was a simple structure that shaped everything and was directed by the labels who controlled all of the music. NOW we are in a different Era entirely where everything isn't so controlled and label driven. People like being able to release what they want when the want to and OWN it. With that being said I don't believe there will be a defined genre that will be the next thing. I feel like music releases will continue to be a fusion of whatever feels good to people no matter the genre and or fusion of multiple genres.
A blend of hip hop/gospel/rock and all the subgenres that branch off from those. We have instant access to all music. It will really start to synthesize and blend across space and time.
i see 3 genres taking off, phonk(quite obscure currently), hyperpop and punkpop. cartis WLR is a move towards rock influenced trap and phonk songs are becoming more mainstream due to tiktok. hyperpop still largely on soundcloud, but has a large crowd of listeners
Man, I have the same theories, hahaha In my band, I mix styles inside rock everytime... 60's, 80's and 90's at the same time... I've created a few songs that looks a little bit "surf music + post-punk synth-pop", others like the 90's pop punk, and it goes on and on and on... hahaha
It will stay around for quite awhile and keep evolving, as it has been, becoming more and more international, ethnically diverse, and creating new sub genres. We can "predict" this, based upon its strong momentum in these directions. Regarding hip-hop, Ed forgot that it started going mainstream around *1980,* not 1990 (or he simply used 1990 to make his theory fit). By the mid to late 80s, it had already branched off into creating a few recognizable styles, which included West Coast gangsta rap and the self-aware, socio-political commentary type of hip-hop that emerged in New York City, such as from Public Enemy, etc.
I personally think music is finally (!!) going to get more advanced. There are loads of massively talented artists out there all trying to "make it", and they've all got more technical and theoretical prowess than basically any generation before them. Just look at people like DOMi. And they're all making pop, trying to make big money. So what we end up with, is stuff similar to Silk Sonic: Pop artists with huge musical prowess making simple pop songs with several key changes, alternate higher extension chords, more technicalities and interesting flairs, but that still sound pretty much "poppy" to the average ear; just different. Like the song "Leave the door open": It's a pretty chill and poppy song, but even tons of jazz standards don't have the chord composition that song has. It's a masterpiece.
I haven't really been following western music for the past... decade or so... but in Korean music, the late 80s and early 90s have been the cool thing for a few years. City Pop, new jack swing, east coast hip hop rap verses, etc. And in the past year or so, I've noticed a definite late 90s/early 2000s Avril Lavigne/Fall Out Boy kind of vibe going on. verycoybunny is a great example, and Dreamcatcher's first awards show win (while well deserved after years of hard work) I think was mostly due to shifting ideas of what's "good" in pop music, rather than an exceptionally good single.
It happens every decade, in the 90s the 70s nostalgia was huge as well and in the 2000s, the 80s. It’s like a 20 year gap until the decade becomes nostalgic, we’ll see the 2010s nostalgia around 2030s.
I've been thinking about the cycles of music for a while, my first approach was that there was a ping-pong cycle between chill and energetic movements (jazz/rock/hip-hop/EDM/lo-fi/phonk, etc) However, since the big music corporations don't want to take risks anymore, most radio music got absolutely boring, and whatever new exciting thing comes out, it's thanks to the underground and the internet. And it makes sense that cycles are way shorter and come and go faster, so it will be a matter of time when something new will overtake cowbell phonk. For me, I'm just hoping that the freeform scene will someday surface into the underground, those guys have been doing amazing electronic music for over 20 years, and I hope over time they get the hype they deserve.
I genuinely think that punk is gonna make its way back up to the top. Same with grunge cause that sound is just so timeless that even 30 years later bands like nirvana and Green Day are still getting millions of plays
IMO imagine the rawness of early 90’s grunge/punk but done with synthesizers, 808’s and other incredibly common/easy to access instruments. A return to simplicity but with a much more digital oriented soundscape than we’ve had before 8D audio vs Stereo will creep its way into the mainstream as the immersive essence of the mix with headphones is incredibly captivating at times
@CU doce grew up on punk myself, 2000’s but I was raised by the elder punks in my area who taught me all about the culture, history and ethos :) I hope to be that for Gen Alpha
I could never see myself just playing one genre my whole life, so I'm trying to combine them lol. I’m working on an album and one of the songs is a Russian folk bossa nova :p. I think you're onto something!
obviously all of these 30 year jumps mean massive leaps in technology, but in these last 30 years, the internet took over the world. the "underground" suddenly becomes hundruds of thousands of small communities of artists forming online but communicating and gathering inspiration globally, that paired with the accessibility of home recording/production is just an explosive catalyst of new ideas
The first 25-30 years of rap/hip hop was revolutionary. Every artist was pushing the genre forward, reinventing it, and changing the musical landscape, lyrical approach, and studio technology. It was so exciting. Hip hop hit a brick wall HARD in the last few years when every artist and their mom started using the same trap beat over and over and over again, and throwing storytelling out the window for gibberish lyrics about gettin fucked up. That stuff is still hugely popular, but it’s artistically dead. I saw the same thing happen to rock music when it hit a brick wall in the late 90s, and every band started sounding like some quantized auto-tune corporate bullshit. They traded in sincere, melodic songwriting for monotonous atonal songs that sounded homogeneous and formulaic. I’m super excited to see the underground rise up and destroy all these dead genres, so it can start building up momentum again. There is so much amazing and creative music happening in the underground as we speak, but the mainstream audiences have no clue because they don’t like doing the work of digging for it. Most people just listen to what’s fed to them via corporate media, adverts, and viral culture. If those people put an ounce of effort into finding new creative music on bandcamp, Spotify playlists, etc…they’d realize they’ve been listening to garbage for a few years now. Lol
Hey! I make music and I’ve been actually thinking exactly the way you were saying, with each track I’m now recording I’ve been trying to mix in styles from artists that came before me, or even different genres! You’re definitely spot on with your theory, I believe it’s just a matter of time for any artist to really combine something into a pot that’s going to be absolutely brilliant, and many will follow suit of that, and start mixing it their own way with their own spices and ingredients
I think that with the emergence of things like TikTok, record labels have much less of a say in what music is going to be popular. Thus, popular music is going to be what the generation connects with, not what they’re told to like. I think it’s also going to open up a lot of opportunities for young artists. Because you don’t necessarily need a record deal to be successful anymore, new/unknown artists will be able to get much more creative and don’t have to copy the mainstream
Downside is it is 100xtimes harder to grow a fanbase that buys your albums or goes to your concerts in other words the song will be bigger than the artist. We wont have big superstars anymore like Michael Jackson or Rihanna... because tiktok is creating alot of "micro famous singers".
you're right on the pop punk/grunge influence in rap right now, the ad I heard before this video was a kenny mason song that sounded exactly like what you described
My money is on Alternative/Rock (Greta Van Fleet, Maneskin the italian rock group who won Eurovision and trending on TikTok, MGK who made a big impact with his Pop Punk vibe, Olivia with Good 4 You. I picked up that more and more artists changing their sounds with real instruments and overall sound to something more raw.As for pop it's probably gonna be something like modern 80's. Who knows! This is a great video! And I agree. I doubt there's gonna be a new innovative genre brought to the masses but rather a repetition of music from previous generations.
I think in the future we will have a genre called "MUSIC" - Meaning no single genre will dictate the industry. People will listen to all kinds of music, especially because everything is free so there is no barrier!
Songs like.. Lost cause - Billie eilish Worth it for the feeling - Rebecca Black Calling u back - The Marias Gus Dapperton songs, and others I don't remember right now, are the type of music I'd like to here more often
Ngl I definitely feel like edm has been on the down low for a while but it’s always kinda slipped into pop music or the mainstream, so I feel like it has a good amount of potential
Electronic music is next, everything from hyperpop to future riddim to the come back of drum n bass, people are putting more song writing into electronic music than ever before because engineering it has become easier with the introduction of the computer and the internet, now thanks to TH-cam and many other learning resources most people I see on TH-cam are pushing electronic music tutorials more and more everyday, which means the algorithm recognizes that people want to make electronic music. What’s awesome about electronic music is it’s so freefork and expansive it has a whole tree of sub genres more than any other genre has before it, even combining other genres too making fusions unheard until now. Who agrees with me on this?
I think indie will be the next mainstream. It’s slowly coming up, and the point of indie is that it’s homemade and now you don’t need to be in a label to blow up (hense homemade)
I think a huge part of where music has gone is due to the digital and technological era we're in. Anyone can literally have a home studio! I actually have one, now I'm more classic in a sense with mine meaning I actually play the Bass and Guitars. I'm not into pop, rap, or hip hop....but I think it's paved way for so many independent artists to make and influence music because they don't have to play an instrument now. It's all at your fingertips in loops and MIDI packs. Back in the day you had to know musicians and go to actual studios. Also media, commercials, TV shows all use more that pop/edm style music for adds vs. Say AC/DC, so bands obviously are sort of back seated now to more electronic influenced stuff
Ed, believe me... I'll never need to steal from you. Great video. You are really, really solid at talking about nothing and tying it off. Such an inspiring video to make a more effective/rewarding one that's not click bait/wasting folks time to say you're starting a discussion, and have information to blow minds then say, "Hey, the sky is blue." Yeah, Ed. The sky is blue and you are a wonderful man. Your positivity is genuine. I get and believe that. For my knowledge of where to actually go from here... it's wonderful on my end to see such passion about potato chips. Be that change you're seeking where ever you take your sculpting off the pace and reverberation of a room/chamber and always get folks to laugh after sharing something deep. Good on you too for marketing this video well enough to have the likes it does and folks actually agreeing/disagreeing in the comments. You are a Noboru Wataya speaker from the wind-up bird chronicles for further reference. That's a beautifully written, imaginative book that kept punching me in the face to let me down at the part where should have been reward for the time invested also. See, Noboru, in that book is a master of talking eloquently about nothing. I could go on but it's a comments section on your channel. Better to make a proper video response, so thank you kindly for the inspiration. Hope it's a good one and you and yours are able to meet your needs/goals off your pursuits.
That's a very relevant video. Thanks for that. My personal guess would be around Electronic music, an in-between Downtempo, LoFi, ambient stuff. I feel Bonobo, Macroblank and Flying Lotus are currently building the foundation for the next generation of music. Ambient, Complex, yet accessible. Less stressful than trap, that's for sure.
Melodic dubstep, future bass, and Drum n bass have both started to comeback. Especially since alot of producers and rappers are trying styles that sound similar to future bass. Dubstep fell off due to it sounding the same mostly but i feel like dubstep will becomes mainly melodic. Drum n bass has always been more popular are the neurofunk/Dark side but i feel like liquid drum n bass will definitely become more popular and be like the new lofi. I have been experimenting with these 3 genres and love them all.
I'm hearing more and more psy trance influence in different more main stream genre. More in general i'm seeing people more interest into psytrance and psychelic music.
I feel like Psychedelic Pop is going to be the next new thing. The entire genre of Psychedelic Pop has been pretty popular since the 60's and with the emergence of modern electronic dance music it could become insanely popular within all age groups. Tame Impala is probably the biggest example of this right now, as his music has been insanely influential to some of musics biggest names, such as Travis Scott, Kanye West, and The Weeknd
I wish more people would talk about this. Different melodies, arrangements, and structures to song. I know that whatever it's going to be it's going to have a range of colors and be loud. We've been a vibe state for a while and I think it's slowly going back to being more upbeat again.
Here’s my prediction: AI. Producers will start training AI with all these influences and then produce something entirely new. The first step (might already be happening) will be the equivalent of all those Spiderman and Elsa videos that took over TH-cam. Annoying ear worm songs like Baby Shark that the algorithm will love but humans will quickly get annoyed with. That won’t be a problem because these songs will just keep coming. The breakthrough will be when somebody will actually train an AI to produce something new and worthwhile. Actual artists will then start taking notice. At first a few pioneers will be putting out hits and everyone else will be trying to figure out how they do it. Over time the skills will become more wide spread and this software will become a new instrument for artists to explore. Take a look at your thirty year cycle and factor in the role played bythe widespread availability of technology.
@@suhaila7901 To begin with. Right now the commercial people are looking at AI as a way of replacing the artist. What should come later is the artists mastering the technology in order to create something entirely new.
AI has been used in mass-produced music technology since "intelligent accompaniment" keyboards emerged in the 1980s. The human motive to play music is to communicate feelings and ideas in a way that moves the listener. Computers don't care about that, because they don't _care_ about anything(!) Without the guidance of _the composer_ music cannot be conceived. Just as an AI does not design itself; _people_ design an AI for some purpose. Of course, anyone can re-purpose AI, too. But it's still just about what _people_ do and why. AI can be used by humans to simulate human motives, yes - but the computers _have_ themselves _no motives_ whatsoever.
You have said it so well. I’m excited to see what those human composers will do with that new technology. For example, I like watching an artist use a tape loop to build up a song live, layer by layer. I wonder if it will be possible to do something similar where the AI doesn’t just loop the sound but instead is trained to do more sophisticated things. I’m guessing. I have no idea what will happen. I wish I had the talent to do something myself.
Been seeing this pop punk thing starting to happen since 2019. The song that started it was definitely i think im okay by mgk. At least I think it was and now we got a bunch of artists making late 90s early 2000s punk type songs. Honestly, it already seems like the 2020s will be more fun in music than the 2010s
@@AXILA666 dang you coming in strong my guy I was not talking about rap mixed with punk. mgk does have some rap stuff but his album is basically pop punk and so is olivias' things
I think it's a mixture we're heading into of super catchy bubble gum kind of mainstream music. The roots of this come from bedroom indie pop and super melodic vocal styles that are all over the place. We may be going into an era of pure emphasized melody regardless of genre. Super hooky everything is here to stay. The music that becomes the most clipped and consumed in mass will be very melodic and moody. The moody part has roots in one of my favorite ever sub-genre bubbles, vaporwave. The production in those tracks went after capturing nostalgia and giving people vibes that feel nostalgia they've never even felt before. That will also be infused into future mainstream, I believe. The underground will then become filled with artists pushing against this of course. So we will see a lot more down tempo and rhythmic styles flourish in the indie scene and such. Contemporary artists have quite a huge sample of music to draw inspiration from and I can't get enough of it. I think the future of music is extremely bright and interesting.
Imagine a world of independent artists who makes the style music they love.. not sticking to what ppl love ;-; once a legend said, "I will make em love what I'm making" haha Take the real music back lol
Electronic music has exploded in recent years… also I’ve personally noticed how sound design is really gaining an important role in standing out. Some producers will use a variety of recording techniques, mixed with sounds they’ve altered and it’s like they create insane vibes and imagery in your head. You’ll hear sounds in the room they’re working in, or noises outside… sounds with real size, distance, and scope, not just in a reverb sense, but beyond that… It’s like music is getting more “3D” and maybe beyond because it can really capture a tangible time, and vibe. I think that’s the future of music… not just simply regurgitating older styles and making new songs… It’s way beyond just “writing a good song” now, if that makes sense.
I think the 30 yr cycle applied to the means of production & distribution at the time, i.e. records and record companies. In our lifetime we've seen that entire system fragment, disintegrate and collapse in the face of digital distribution, as well as homebrewed production. As a performing musician, I've adapted by acquiring the means of production - i.e. absorbing electronic tools, techniques and evolved to integrate sampling, sequencing,non linear composition etc. We'll where this takes us - but I do firmly believe there will always be a hunger for music that's not only catchy & poppy - but also unique, thoughtful, heartfelt, and actually Interesting. Music is 99.9 repeating % made by folks copping off of specific marketed styles (as you just named several). I don't think the actual proportion of creative people in our population has changed - but the tools of creativity have become accessible by and large to, frankly - Non- creative, unoriginal thinking folks (who simply slap together things that exist, instead creating something new). I appreciate your sense of humor about it all. Watch this space - as whatever comes next - its going to be considered patently absurd, to whatever tastes and conventions defined music, up to this point 👉 lol 😆
I think there is a limit to how much music can evolve, and how “electronic” we can get. That’s why all these decade specific genres are coming back. They will come back, rotate with another genre, and while they do, we will put our modern twist on each genre, and evolve these forgotten genres into more modern versions of grate genres, that should never be completely forgotten.
I have often thought about this too. My theory for the recurrence/recycled contemporary version of music from ~30 years' ago - e.g. a modern take on the 1980's aesthetic which we have been experiencing for the past few years, is that kids grow up listening to their parents record collection. Music is really formative and those bands you hear when your young generally stick with you and may influence you if you end up as a songwriter/producer. Ohh.. just to say that the 1990's is regarded as hip hop's golden era, but it all started a decade before, I know because as a teen in the early 80's, that's what I listened to!
While I appreciate your over the top enthusiasm, musical climates are like predicting the weather by Al Gore. However, in case you missed it... music was butche... I mean changed forever when zanni hooked studio rappers got high on cough syrup and started caring more about fame and auto-tune than the honest game. Fact check me bishes. Cheers fam!
@@shaft9000 The 'industry' has always "made" 'stars' ;-) But anyway, even Tech N9ne & Krizz k uses auto, but they dont have to... which is why I argue! Cheers fam!
Great video very intelligent insight, you are awesome man. SUBLIME pretty much changed the game in the 1990s, still to this day they probably had more genres created together in one band than just about any artist in history. Reggae, Punk Rock, Ska, Hip Hop, Soul, Dub, Blues, Electronic, Acoustic Folk, Brad Nowell lead singer/guitarist of Sublime even sang and rapped in Spanish. Literal IQ on paper or 160. Absolute Musical Genius.
I for sure agree that punk rock is gonna be the best faze, I am a sound engineer and all of my usual hip hop artists have been making a ton of punk rock songs, I mean I am vibin with it but yes I think that’s gonna be the next big one for a couple of years at least
Never made a video like this one before.
What did you guys think?
Also, follow my Instagram. Got something cool for you guys coming up.

Cool idea, Bro
speculation and chit chat is always fun.
I really enjoy your content and your uplifting personality, and the fact that your beats smack 🔥 Do you have a collab service?
Great video!! Totally Blue my mind!!! Really like this kind of video
I enjoyed this
I'd say the style of music that really is and will continue to rule this decade is nostalgic music. Not a specific genre, not a specific era's sound. Just nostalgic music, music that sounds like before. It's always been popular to make songs that sound old but this decade will be filled with it.
Nostalgic music is always relative imo. In the early 2000s I feel people were nostalgic for the 80s sound. Nowadays I feel we adore 90s grunge and the early 2000s.
Let me know what u think bro
@@khaaan_prod341 no. There’s still a lot that adore the 80s but 90s changed the world and will always be active. Grunge never died just evolved
@@OriginalKingRichTv I respect your opinion but I just don't see it that way.
yeah i think it's a response to "music was better back then" so music right now is pretty much a nostalgia trip to the past. Dua Lipa and The Weeknd brought back the 80s sounds, MGK and Olivia Rodrigo brought back pop punk, some hyperpop music brings back the bubblegum 00s pop, Y2K RnB has a small resurgence, etc
i think this too, mostly because of how the pandemic deeply impacted the world and everything just seems out of place and irregular
I just think these cycles just got shorter. Because as you said hiphop became popular in the 90s. But also grunge and punk became mainstream. In the 2000s brit pop and pop punk went popular which are new age punk and hip hop became club music. 2010s were the indie versus corporate music with indie artists become popular mostly on nostalgia and relatability and now the last year's of 2010s and start of 2020 trap music the new era hip hop became popular. The 2010s i believe was the recap decade. It showed us we want everything on the table and no corporate stuff. But with a twist. That's why i believe remastered genres will become popular till the end of the 2020s. New Era Rock. New Era Jazz. New era hiphop etc.
Spot on
Who's an example of New Era Hip Hop would you say?
"Britpop" is not a defining genre, that is a catch-all term for British Pop rock and Alternative rock bands of the 90s.
I think we’re going to be in a cycle of everything. It’s going to be more defined by independent artist and what sounds good
And there is no real mainstream cause everybody could listen to anything🤔
That is what needs to happens
@@tantumrecords3380 I think there is always some mainstream although it can be less defined. I think music reflects culture, technology and art hence there will always be certain trends that come and go.
It's been like this for 20 years already.
Music styles have been recycled heavily since 2000. Hip Hop is not the only genre in the landscape.
th-cam.com/video/1vs8qXhyKjI/w-d-xo.html
I feel an important thing to note is: in the past “30 year cycles” the internet wasn’t as prevalent as it is now. Because of that, I feel like there won’t be a next big sound. Music today sounds more genre-less than ever because artists have access to an endless source of inspiration (TH-cam, Spotify, etc.)
ohhh I think I see what you're saying. Basically there's too much influence accessible for any original stuff to sprout??
It’s a lot of pop for sure..
But I think rock n rap is coming back..

Hey! As someone who’s always loved and listened to dnb, how is it back? (Genuine question as I feel like I’m too close to it 😂)
It feels like music will continuously be fragmented in genres from here onwards, we have started witnessing the death of multi-record selling artist. Kids-teens make up the highest music consumer group are growing up in a culture of new discovery short attention spans, music in a sense has become more of a background soundtrack to life and less of an idol fascination and less about melodic hooks. If I could have a genre back trending 2010s edm is still the best to me 💜
Been happening since the 60s
73/74 it was all genre there on out
Fr! I remember the edm boom in the 2010s.
I will slowly try, and creep my way forward as I still have an education to finish and a lot music stuff to learn, but I will promise to try my best.
nothing hit like that, cripsy dub, loudpvck trap, the start of adventure club deep diving melodics. and of course we've always had the OGs Liquid, nectar, noisia, eprom, etc forming the underground thats become today! was a unique time, and its been a fucking ride to see the sound design we have today. check out Of the Trees, Chee, and Shades(eprom&alix perez). I truly believe these artists are shaping a wave on quality and one of a kind type of sound, that'll really influence and drive electronic music in whichever way it decides to go.

totally disagree. I felt sea sick with all the gratuitous, frantic movement every 2 seconds. First and last visit to this channel.
@@cytuber lmao
The next big genre will be genreLESS - any recognisable characteristics of prior genres will be either ironic, nostalgic or reverential references. The underground are bands like Black Midi and Black Country New Road, whose attitude - it seems to me - is to be entirely open to any genre - and so every genre = and so no genre...
It’s called post-genre
We are at a golden age. There's room for everything now. It's feels like the 80's are back, but at the same time EDM is getting more popular. Hip Hop is still just as big at the same time. Today you can just find everything in the charts, I love it.
Yeah Stuff Like Miss The Rage Is EDM And Trap. I Feel Like EDM Might Make A Comeback Soon
@@ayotwisted fax
The “golden age?” Nah, that was ‘65 to ‘85, when well constructed music was actually mainstream and popular.
@@andyscott5277 I would argue that it’s a golden age for music listeners because we not only have access to all that music from the past, but we’re also getting new music in all types of genres. You might have to look past the charts to find some good stuff, but there’s tons of ways to find new music.
It’s more controlled and contrived then ever tbh
Nowadays ambient music seems to be the trend, for the past two decades music was all about dancing and feeling good, but as far as i've seen so many songs are now pursuing the "vibe", a more personal aproach rather than being reproduced at parties or to sing along.
Music is more personal and intimate in the underground scene, so i think that it's the next mainstream boom. Amient, garage, downbeat, chill music that can be enjoyed at any hour and serves a purpose more than being an earcandy, but some sort of therapy aswell.
I love this take purely because I love making ambient music.

One thing's for sure, if and when people finally move past stereo files, ambient will be twiddling it's thumbs wondering what took everyone else so long.
@@shaft9000 it’s coming. There’s just a little delay.
You totally left out Rhythm and Blues, which gave rise to Rock and Roll, Soul and Country music.
Disco ruled the 70’s and most of the 80’s. Disco actually gave birth to Hip Hop.
he was talking in years of 30 so It didn't need to cover it all
Absolutely. There are a TON of very important musical genres in the past century but to me the thread that connects all the big shifts in sound are the genres I mentioned. Country is always popular, it's kind of on its own lane. Blues is the foundation of both jazz and rock, but never got as mainstream as those other genres, with a few exceptions of course.
I have to agree with you Van. Everything in the charts was disco at it's height, and the same with soul before it. You can't leave the Motown era out. The 00s R&B era. The 10s EDM era etc. I like that Ed is sparking debate, but I don't think the theory holds up. Also pre information revolution and post are incomparable.
Low-key I feel like we're gonna bring back the grunge sound bc a good majority of the people I know and/or watch either is continuing to listen or make that type of sound again
He is just talking about the dominant music genres not ones that are important to smaller sections of the population, but what dominates.
I really have no idea what's next. I grew up in the 90's when shallow stadium rock and bubblegum pop was replaced by grunge and alternative. What a great time to discover music. Bands like Nirvana, AIC and Pearl Jam dominated the radio with awesome, heavy hooks and deep, meaningful lyrics that really made you feel something. Hip-hop at that time was deep and meaningful too. MCs like 2Pac, Tribe, Wu-Tang and Biggie were absolute poets. I thought music would keep evolving getting more artistic and expressionistic, but now here we are 30 years later and shallow bubblegum pop and mumble rap rules the charts. Whatever the next musical genre is I hope it has some real human emotion and meaningful lyrics. I'm so tired of songs about big asses, gucci and expensive cars. We got real issues going on in the world. Let's make some music that addresses these issues. It could be so therapeutic for the world.
That kind of music you described you want to hear is already in my playlist, and I think it's something new.
Honestly I 100% believe that a good example of where music is going is Aries’ music! Blends punk rock and hip hop very well (not just distorted guitar with trap drums)
I agree!! Love Aries!
broo aries>>>
Not to sound negative, but I hope that’s not true. Most of Aries’ music sounds the same after awhile.
@@markb972 for sure someone will be able to get on this type of genre and bend it to their own style!
I mean just by the voice they can change the style a lot!
his new producer is killing it
I feel like neo-soul and post-rock stuff is "the underground" right now, although idk if it will have the same mass-appeal as popular genres from the past. And jazz has a lot of influence on both of those, so I think we'll continue to see a renaissance there too
There are definitely cats bringing jazz back.
Agreed, jazz is back.

I watched the video, I'm still confused about what makes you think music is going to change forever and why. Because genres become popular and fade over time? That feels like a very common insight.
I think the biggest change we have seen over the past three decades is the cost of equipment no longer being such a big barrier for entry. Software has become much more intuitive and there is an abundance of knowledge about music production now freely available. We will continue to have an abundance of new music from every genre, past & future, because DIY bedroom studios are so much more feasible nowadays.
Ed is saying that the "30 Year" pattern is extremely likely to not apply to music nowadays because of the consumers controlling the mainstream (through TikTok etc.) rather than the industry controlling it. Also you are correct about the fact that music is becoming an art form that is becoming easier to create. Hell, even bedroom studios can have the ability to create beautifully polished, studio quality music just because of modern technology.
@@brotherbear808 That makes a lot of sense. Take Lil Nas X, for example. His super hit, "Old Town Road", was made on a laptop in his living room. The rest is history, so to speak.
@@bally2203 That song sucks and it sounds like it was made by an amateur.
I think we are in a time where artists making all kinds of music and not just being one “genre”. Like its more like you can seriously be an actual artist and not just a song maker. If that makes sense? I’m a relatively small artist (around 6k usual listeners on Spotify) but I’ve been able to grow a pretty loyal audience over the past year just making whatever kind of song I feel like making. I think it’s seriously an AMAZING time for music and creation. Kinda went on a tangent here but it’s just so exciting to me.
But your releases are similar, you almost always use guitar and similar bpms, also your flow doesn't change that much, I'm not hating, your music is good, just as not diverse as u may think
@@kazonikz you sure about that ? Lol I literally go from hip hop, to Midwest emo, to post hardcore. Youre totally welcome to your opinions. But I don’t think you heard quite enough of my releases if you’re saying that 😅 but fr though it’s cool you checked out my stuff
@@kazonikz also not tryna say im some good at music lol. my point was simply i just kinda make whatever I want and ppl listen. so its exciting to me :)
In my opinion certain musical genres have a prerequisite authenticity: for example, you can't just copy the musical features of punk music (sometimes musical talent can be a hindrance!). I don't know about you, but I like to listen to punk music made by punks, not just a track that Bieber made after he listened to an Offspring album. Or even worse, punk made by a pop artist because he heard that punk music sells well this year.
There is something to be said for finding your own style and concentrating on and developing it. Making a completely different song every time is a finite process (you'll eventually run out of new songs to write!). You don't have to deliberately slot yourself into any particular genre, but having a consistent sound will keep the same people coming back; if they want to hear a certain sound that you bring, they know where to find you.
@@rocket811 not everyone is like that though. Some of my favorite songs are made when bands or artists branch out and do something out if there usual style. I would love to hear beiber on a punk track ngl.
spoiler alert: every artistic movement is just kids rebelling against their parents.
That's why I use my movements to draw symbols all over the bathroom walls, to protest my parents authoritarian regime. My mum was so mad. But she deserves the poo on her walls if she keeps on refusing to buy me McDonalds. I tell her "A happy meal a day keeps my poo flushed away". No happy meal? Have fun scrubbing away that fecal swastika.
Every generation is punk and wants to not be a mirror image of their parents. Human psychology at its finest
Apocalyptic Lo-fi may be the next genre
lol nah. maybe in 15 years.
@@NotJoegoldberg Tripping or wat ? He did say maybe
Whaaa
I think that I make that kind of music ( th-cam.com/video/fQeV3C9z4i4/w-d-xo.html does this count ? )
Doomer music?
I’m hoping that regardless of genre, the music that’s released in the next few decades can become more honest and unique. With the empowerment of the independent artist in the past 10 years especially, more “genres” will become melting pots of different influences and hopefully not be so one-dimensional.
Whenever music corporations get a grip on musical influence, they pump out music like McDonald’s pumps out burgers. I’m hoping we can see some more organic/gourmet varieties in the years to come.
Authenticity won’t be a hot commodity like Nirvana was until people truly realize they don’t like the shit they’re eating anymore / everyone becomes famous for useless shit and being famous for being talented and real will be a hot rarity.
yesss you nailed exactly the way i look at the way the history of music is with the cycle. i’ve always thought of it but never REALLY thought of it yaknow it’s cool to hear someone else speak on it and this subject. it really helps future artists find their own sound and know how to fit it into the puzzle of mainstream
If we're talking about underground music making a big break and becoming the new genre of music, I think it would be the Afros( Afropop,Afrosoul, Afrohouse e.t.c.) Afro Music has being making big waves in the global music scene lately and I feel if they can keep up with this trend, they(Afros) would become the REAL DEAL!
I agree!

Maybe music will gradually get more atmospheric, with that 8d style sound, being more heavily reverbed, delayed, and panned etc. Or maybe everything will just end up having drill slide 808s for no reason 😂 who knows man

I say this as music producer, singer, and someone who studies marketing, music theory, and jumps on the modern popular trends while using the same formula in my songs: the 80s and 2000s music era is back. This has been happening since early 2020 (pre-corona) with Dua Lipa and The Weeknd kickstarting it. The 2020s will definitely have 80s and 2000s music back throughout it and I feel like artists will get more creative control in the industry. Aside from jumping on these trends for the bank, the pandemic has brought back a lot of nostalgia for people which is why the 80s, 90s, and 2000s is popular again (even in kpop, it’s been 80s/2000s genre lately) . In the 2030s, I feel like music will start to turn genreless and artists will release music different from any other decade and a new wave of performers will own that era.
I personally think we're going to keep seeing different genres mixed with more aspects of pop music. I think more feel-good music is going to pop up and the drums will be mostly hip-hop influenced. Just my take 💪🏼
Grunge punk rock return speaks to current climate.
Rage against, system of a down, have never stopped being great, however, the resurgence in popularity may be due to ppls sense of frustration with our global crisis & governments.
Everybody's been talking about how the charts have been full of throwback style songs, but Bruno Mars and The Weeknd have both been doing the whole throwback thing for a long time now, like half a decade.
Kenny G is the past, present, and future of all music ever created.
The future of music is “human music“ as portrayed in Rick and Morty.
also a good podcast on music production
What creates a NEW MUSIC GENRE is TEchnology, Electric guitar = Rock, Synthesizers + vocals = New wave, Synthesizer with no voice = EDM, Digital sampling = House etc, so to get a really new music genre we need a radical new "INVENTION/TECHNOLOGY" , maybe its all been done?
What ever the hell disco was had a massive impact on hip-hop, as it was disco breakbeats that people started rapping over. So, that massive mainstream genre that lots of people grew to hate, managed to live on through the new massive mainstream genre that people love!
more artist are diving into their emotions with their music, showing pain, frustration and sadness with the rise of mainstream artist doing more punk, grunge and rock pop. I think this is going to give birth to some really good cheesy classic soft rock, singer songwriter stuff going mainstream, like it was mid 90's. Let's see! I totally see kendrick leading the pack and doing some acoustic songs that break the mold, lets see who does it first!

It's any EDM genre. If you look closely to EDM Genres we had multiple cycles :
2009 - 2013 : dubstep (Skrillex, Zomboy, Knife Party etc...)
2013 - 2015 : Progressive House (Zedd, 3LAU etc...)
2015 - 2017 : Trap and Future Bass (Porter Robinson, The Chainsmokers etc..)
2018 - 2020 : Slap House (aka saint jhn roses type songs and you see here that this isn't a cycle I'm proud of :( )
2020 - 2021 : Lofi? (Lofi started his own cycle in 2017 but with seeing leak into the mainstream in 2020 I believe this can be the next one. I'm talking about Powfu - death bed and Lil Nas X posting lofi remixes for his songs)
But if it's lofi then it won't come by himself. It's background music so it will blend or there will be another genre dominating with it. Like in the Trap and Future Bass cycle.
Lmao powfu deathbed fell off so hard, I don’t think it goes by cycles anymore unless you wanna count what ever new genre all these artist destroy lonley, Ken Carson, xavierbase ex
I do feel there's a change to music becoming more passive, and people's discovery of music is also more narrow. People are discovering new stuff through algorithm recommendations from youtube, spotify etc, and those tend to pick things that are similar to what they already listen to. I suspect it's also a very long time since record companies looked towards up and coming live bands/trends, and seem to concentrate more on the lowest common denominator stuff. Rap is the interesting one because it seemed to grow by bypassing those routes, even if it's not my thing at all.
I'd love to see music by actual bands become mainstream again, but younger generations seem to have lost a taste for it.
I Think Your theory might be correct ed , attention span keeps on falling as we progress through out the time , baroque era for example lasted for about a 150 years , classical era lasted for 100 years , romantic era lasted for 70 years and the genre after 1900s , as you said lasted for 30 years , yeah so whatever the new thing might be , it for sure will be a short one .
Great Vid ED.
I have a feeling that the genre mashup vibe of hyperpop is really coming into the main stream - pop songs backed by drum and bass with with random elements of other genres thrown in is something I'm definitely noticing as a trend. Almost feels like a revival of the breaking the rules energy that jazz had a hundred years ago
I think Hyperpop is the only thing that fits the bill.
I think Hyperpop has the potential to do that but only time will tell
"random elements of other genres thrown in" = identity crisis waiting to happen
A mashup is, at best, a clever novelty. It cancels itself as genre because the whole point is to yank one tune and force it into another's key&meter and hear what happens.
@@shaft9000 - I feel you are focused on a weak definition of hyperpop. Wikipedia states: "Hyperpop is a loosely-defined music movement and microgenre characterized by a maximalist or exaggerated take on popular music. Artists tagged with the label typically integrate pop and avant-garde sensibilities, drawing on tropes from electronic, hip hop, and dance music." And everything is a mashup. But a good genre has a standard misuse of technology, rock had guitar, hip hop had decks and samples. Hyperpop is a misuse of computer and electric rigs.
First time here! I think this was a neat video and showing the 30-year cycle was pretty interesting. I'm no musical expert, but I've definitely seen a rise in a certain genre, although I don't know exactly what it's called. It's like a mix of Lo-fi/electronic, synth...and sometimes a hint of hip-hop? Weeknd still prevailing, Doja Cat, and Bazzi. Non-hip-hop but still Lo-fi/electronic synth would be up and coming Clairo and Cuco.
That's exactly what I think, too. I don't know whether to call it experimental hip-hop/pop or alt hip-hop/r&b
It's been done in the early 1990s under various idiomatic names: Mushroom Jazz, Trip-hop, Acid Jazz etc
see: Coldcut, anything on Ninja Tune records, Adamski
I was just thinking about this haha. I swear it’s all going to be synth based music and complete digital control over any sound imaginable which I find to basically be synth almost alien type music. I feel like retro video game music are really starting to blossom and finally find a place in popular music.

Is it jus me or does his outro become faster each time 😂
😂😂
its like the small print on a tv ad for finance hahaha
That's why you just be unique and do your own thing and craft your own sound
Great video as always Ed! I definitely think we’ll see more fusion-type genres take over in the next few years, like hip-hop mixed with rock for example. Should be interesting to see what happens!
i just wanted to say that i realized the way music was kinda “moving” to pop punk, like i heard, realized, felt that change (which i know sounds pretty weird) but really, over a few months music has literally drifted right into pop punk. One day, i really just realized that like “ *poof* , now we enter a pop punk era”
Honestly! I think that up until now there was a simple structure that shaped everything and was directed by the labels who controlled all of the music. NOW we are in a different Era entirely where everything isn't so controlled and label driven. People like being able to release what they want when the want to and OWN it. With that being said I don't believe there will be a defined genre that will be the next thing. I feel like music releases will continue to be a fusion of whatever feels good to people no matter the genre and or fusion of multiple genres.
A blend of hip hop/gospel/rock and all the subgenres that branch off from those. We have instant access to all music. It will really start to synthesize and blend across space and time.
i see 3 genres taking off, phonk(quite obscure currently), hyperpop and punkpop. cartis WLR is a move towards rock influenced trap and phonk songs are becoming more mainstream due to tiktok. hyperpop still largely on soundcloud, but has a large crowd of listeners
Phonk is definitely the next wave
@@sthubertalles phonk already was the wave like a decade ago
i think hyperpop is going to make it
@@Hazyrd222 yeah me too, I don’t listen to it, but I still hear quite a bit about it
Hyperpop is kinda like lofi. Its good and Popular but not popular enough to be considered a popular genre.
Also its becoming more hiphop now
Man, I have the same theories, hahaha
In my band, I mix styles inside rock everytime... 60's, 80's and 90's at the same time... I've created a few songs that looks a little bit "surf music + post-punk synth-pop", others like the 90's pop punk, and it goes on and on and on... hahaha
I honestly hope hiphop stays and just keeps evolving into different sub genres like it’s been doing for 30 years
It will stay around for quite awhile and keep evolving, as it has been, becoming more and more international, ethnically diverse, and creating new sub genres. We can "predict" this, based upon its strong momentum in these directions. Regarding hip-hop, Ed forgot that it started going mainstream around *1980,* not 1990 (or he simply used 1990 to make his theory fit). By the mid to late 80s, it had already branched off into creating a few recognizable styles, which included West Coast gangsta rap and the self-aware, socio-political commentary type of hip-hop that emerged in New York City, such as from Public Enemy, etc.
I mean it’s not gonna go away even if if isn’t at the top of the charts
Idk I'm kind of sick of it at this point, just not really my thing anymore
What about blues and rock genre
@@Real_Shawn ion listen to blues but that can stay along with rock. Country gotta go tho lmao.
I personally think music is finally (!!) going to get more advanced. There are loads of massively talented artists out there all trying to "make it", and they've all got more technical and theoretical prowess than basically any generation before them. Just look at people like DOMi. And they're all making pop, trying to make big money.
So what we end up with, is stuff similar to Silk Sonic: Pop artists with huge musical prowess making simple pop songs with several key changes, alternate higher extension chords, more technicalities and interesting flairs, but that still sound pretty much "poppy" to the average ear; just different.
Like the song "Leave the door open": It's a pretty chill and poppy song, but even tons of jazz standards don't have the chord composition that song has. It's a masterpiece.
I haven't really been following western music for the past... decade or so... but in Korean music, the late 80s and early 90s have been the cool thing for a few years. City Pop, new jack swing, east coast hip hop rap verses, etc. And in the past year or so, I've noticed a definite late 90s/early 2000s Avril Lavigne/Fall Out Boy kind of vibe going on. verycoybunny is a great example, and Dreamcatcher's first awards show win (while well deserved after years of hard work) I think was mostly due to shifting ideas of what's "good" in pop music, rather than an exceptionally good single.
It happens every decade, in the 90s the 70s nostalgia was huge as well and in the 2000s, the 80s. It’s like a 20 year gap until the decade becomes nostalgic, we’ll see the 2010s nostalgia around 2030s.
Cool you like Dreamcatcher
I've been thinking about the cycles of music for a while, my first approach was that there was a ping-pong cycle between chill and energetic movements (jazz/rock/hip-hop/EDM/lo-fi/phonk, etc)
However, since the big music corporations don't want to take risks anymore, most radio music got absolutely boring, and whatever new exciting thing comes out, it's thanks to the underground and the internet.
And it makes sense that cycles are way shorter and come and go faster, so it will be a matter of time when something new will overtake cowbell phonk.
For me, I'm just hoping that the freeform scene will someday surface into the underground, those guys have been doing amazing electronic music for over 20 years, and I hope over time they get the hype they deserve.
I genuinely think that punk is gonna make its way back up to the top. Same with grunge cause that sound is just so timeless that even 30 years later bands like nirvana and Green Day are still getting millions of plays
IMO imagine the rawness of early 90’s grunge/punk but done with synthesizers, 808’s and other incredibly common/easy to access instruments. A return to simplicity but with a much more digital oriented soundscape than we’ve had before
8D audio vs Stereo will creep its way into the mainstream as the immersive essence of the mix with headphones is incredibly captivating at times
@CU doce grew up on punk myself, 2000’s but I was raised by the elder punks in my area who taught me all about the culture, history and ethos :) I hope to be that for Gen Alpha
I could never see myself just playing one genre my whole life, so I'm trying to combine them lol. I’m working on an album and one of the songs is a Russian folk bossa nova :p. I think you're onto something!
obviously all of these 30 year jumps mean massive leaps in technology, but in these last 30 years, the internet took over the world. the "underground" suddenly becomes hundruds of thousands of small communities of artists forming online but communicating and gathering inspiration globally, that paired with the accessibility of home recording/production is just an explosive catalyst of new ideas
it's a simple answear classic music never dies,thats why it's back
The first 25-30 years of rap/hip hop was revolutionary. Every artist was pushing the genre forward, reinventing it, and changing the musical landscape, lyrical approach, and studio technology. It was so exciting. Hip hop hit a brick wall HARD in the last few years when every artist and their mom started using the same trap beat over and over and over again, and throwing storytelling out the window for gibberish lyrics about gettin fucked up. That stuff is still hugely popular, but it’s artistically dead. I saw the same thing happen to rock music when it hit a brick wall in the late 90s, and every band started sounding like some quantized auto-tune corporate bullshit. They traded in sincere, melodic songwriting for monotonous atonal songs that sounded homogeneous and formulaic. I’m super excited to see the underground rise up and destroy all these dead genres, so it can start building up momentum again. There is so much amazing and creative music happening in the underground as we speak, but the mainstream audiences have no clue because they don’t like doing the work of digging for it. Most people just listen to what’s fed to them via corporate media, adverts, and viral culture. If those people put an ounce of effort into finding new creative music on bandcamp, Spotify playlists, etc…they’d realize they’ve been listening to garbage for a few years now. Lol
This phenomenon is happening in the EDM scene too. A lot of artists started dropping acid trance in the last few months and it’s wild
What is EDM?, I use those sounds lol
@@216lemon6 I had to look it up. You might already know by now but it’s electronic dance music for anyone else that comes across these comments
Hey! I make music and I’ve been actually thinking exactly the way you were saying, with each track I’m now recording I’ve been trying to mix in styles from artists that came before me, or even different genres! You’re definitely spot on with your theory, I believe it’s just a matter of time for any artist to really combine something into a pot that’s going to be absolutely brilliant, and many will follow suit of that, and start mixing it their own way with their own spices and ingredients
I think that with the emergence of things like TikTok, record labels have much less of a say in what music is going to be popular. Thus, popular music is going to be what the generation connects with, not what they’re told to like. I think it’s also going to open up a lot of opportunities for young artists. Because you don’t necessarily need a record deal to be successful anymore, new/unknown artists will be able to get much more creative and don’t have to copy the mainstream
So true!!!! Great time to be(come) a music artist
Downside is it is 100xtimes harder to grow a fanbase that buys your albums or goes to your concerts in other words the song will be bigger than the artist. We wont have big superstars anymore like Michael Jackson or Rihanna... because tiktok is creating alot of "micro famous singers".
@@chelseaamara7218you just said what i always wanted to say but didn't know how to express it.
you're right on the pop punk/grunge influence in rap right now, the ad I heard before this video was a kenny mason song that sounded exactly like what you described
I really do think that with the modern day accessibility of music that musical genres will have less of an impact deciding the aesthetic of a decade
th-cam.com/video/1vs8qXhyKjI/w-d-xo.html
My money is on Alternative/Rock (Greta Van Fleet, Maneskin the italian rock group who won Eurovision and trending on TikTok, MGK who made a big impact with his Pop Punk vibe, Olivia with Good 4 You. I picked up that more and more artists changing their sounds with real instruments and overall sound to something more raw.As for pop it's probably gonna be something like modern 80's. Who knows! This is a great video! And I agree. I doubt there's gonna be a new innovative genre brought to the masses but rather a repetition of music from previous generations.
I think in the future we will have a genre called "MUSIC" - Meaning no single genre will dictate the industry. People will listen to all kinds of music, especially because everything is free so there is no barrier!
Songs like..
Lost cause - Billie eilish
Worth it for the feeling - Rebecca Black
Calling u back - The Marias
Gus Dapperton songs, and others I don't remember right now, are the type of music I'd like to here more often
Ngl I definitely feel like edm has been on the down low for a while but it’s always kinda slipped into pop music or the mainstream, so I feel like it has a good amount of potential
edm kinda hit its peak, 2008 - 2016
EDM isn't really a genre though. There are hundreds of different sounds that aren't really comparable and sound completely different.
edm wont make a comeback imo, it will blend into other genres
Some edm genres slithered into pop status while others have faded into obscurity
@@vhroom3436 Rip Trap Nation 😭
Electronic music is next, everything from hyperpop to future riddim to the come back of drum n bass, people are putting more song writing into electronic music than ever before because engineering it has become easier with the introduction of the computer and the internet, now thanks to TH-cam and many other learning resources most people I see on TH-cam are pushing electronic music tutorials more and more everyday, which means the algorithm recognizes that people want to make electronic music.
What’s awesome about electronic music is it’s so freefork and expansive it has a whole tree of sub genres more than any other genre has before it, even combining other genres too making fusions unheard until now.
Who agrees with me on this?
I think indie will be the next mainstream. It’s slowly coming up, and the point of indie is that it’s homemade and now you don’t need to be in a label to blow up (hense homemade)
I’ve never understood indie as being a genre because it’s a shorthand term for independent
@@BeatsbyBlanch it started like that, but all the big independent artist were of a similar genre, and it turned into this
I think a huge part of where music has gone is due to the digital and technological era we're in.
Anyone can literally have a home studio! I actually have one, now I'm more classic in a sense with mine meaning I actually play the Bass and Guitars. I'm not into pop, rap, or hip hop....but I think it's paved way for so many independent artists to make and influence music because they don't have to play an instrument now. It's all at your fingertips in loops and MIDI packs.
Back in the day you had to know musicians and go to actual studios.
Also media, commercials, TV shows all use more that pop/edm style music for adds vs. Say AC/DC, so bands obviously are sort of back seated now to more electronic influenced stuff
As an EDM producer it's so amazing to read so many people write that EDM is popping off.
Ed, believe me... I'll never need to steal from you. Great video. You are really, really solid at talking about nothing and tying it off. Such an inspiring video to make a more effective/rewarding one that's not click bait/wasting folks time to say you're starting a discussion, and have information to blow minds then say, "Hey, the sky is blue." Yeah, Ed. The sky is blue and you are a wonderful man. Your positivity is genuine. I get and believe that. For my knowledge of where to actually go from here... it's wonderful on my end to see such passion about potato chips.
Be that change you're seeking where ever you take your sculpting off the pace and reverberation of a room/chamber and always get folks to laugh after sharing something deep. Good on you too for marketing this video well enough to have the likes it does and folks actually agreeing/disagreeing in the comments.
You are a Noboru Wataya speaker from the wind-up bird chronicles for further reference. That's a beautifully written, imaginative book that kept punching me in the face to let me down at the part where should have been reward for the time invested also. See, Noboru, in that book is a master of talking eloquently about nothing.
I could go on but it's a comments section on your channel. Better to make a proper video response, so thank you kindly for the inspiration. Hope it's a good one and you and yours are able to meet your needs/goals off your pursuits.
I feel like hip hop could break the cycle due to how many different styles and sounds it has
It’s not going anywhere, but it’s spot is going to get taken
That's a very relevant video. Thanks for that. My personal guess would be around Electronic music, an in-between Downtempo, LoFi, ambient stuff. I feel Bonobo, Macroblank and Flying Lotus are currently building the foundation for the next generation of music. Ambient, Complex, yet accessible. Less stressful than trap, that's for sure.
I think the next big genre should just be called "Nostalgia". Different sounds from over the past 50 years mashed together.
that's vaporwave for you
Melodic dubstep, future bass, and Drum n bass have both started to comeback. Especially since alot of producers and rappers are trying styles that sound similar to future bass. Dubstep fell off due to it sounding the same mostly but i feel like dubstep will becomes mainly melodic. Drum n bass has always been more popular are the neurofunk/Dark side but i feel like liquid drum n bass will definitely become more popular and be like the new lofi. I have been experimenting with these 3 genres and love them all.
I'm hearing more and more psy trance influence in different more main stream genre. More in general i'm seeing people more interest into psytrance and psychelic music.
th-cam.com/video/1vs8qXhyKjI/w-d-xo.html
I feel like Psychedelic Pop is going to be the next new thing. The entire genre of Psychedelic Pop has been pretty popular since the 60's and with the emergence of modern electronic dance music it could become insanely popular within all age groups. Tame Impala is probably the biggest example of this right now, as his music has been insanely influential to some of musics biggest names, such as Travis Scott, Kanye West, and The Weeknd
This... I thought the exact same thing. Pink Floyd type music is gonna get really popular
I feel like this hyperpop/rage music will die out soon and in 2022 there will be a new hip hop subgenre
I wish more people would talk about this. Different melodies, arrangements, and structures to song. I know that whatever it's going to be it's going to have a range of colors and be loud. We've been a vibe state for a while and I think it's slowly going back to being more upbeat again.
If you ask bout genre ill say prolly drill or hyperpop, but if you ask artist its prolly gonna be SSGKobe, Sofaygo, KASHDAMI
I feel something new is forming I have noticed a lot of new artists starting to incorporate elements from hip hop, rock and electronic music.
Here’s my prediction: AI.
Producers will start training AI with all these influences and then produce something entirely new.
The first step (might already be happening) will be the equivalent of all those Spiderman and Elsa videos that took over TH-cam. Annoying ear worm songs like Baby Shark that the algorithm will love but humans will quickly get annoyed with. That won’t be a problem because these songs will just keep coming.
The breakthrough will be when somebody will actually train an AI to produce something new and worthwhile. Actual artists will then start taking notice.
At first a few pioneers will be putting out hits and everyone else will be trying to figure out how they do it.
Over time the skills will become more wide spread and this software will become a new instrument for artists to explore.
Take a look at your thirty year cycle and factor in the role played bythe widespread availability of technology.
so vocaloids?
@@suhaila7901 To begin with. Right now the commercial people are looking at AI as a way of replacing the artist. What should come later is the artists mastering the technology in order to create something entirely new.
You're a genius
AI has been used in mass-produced music technology since "intelligent accompaniment" keyboards emerged in the 1980s.
The human motive to play music is to communicate feelings and ideas in a way that moves the listener. Computers don't care about that, because they don't _care_ about anything(!)
Without the guidance of _the composer_ music cannot be conceived. Just as an AI does not design itself; _people_ design an AI for some purpose.
Of course, anyone can re-purpose AI, too. But it's still just about what _people_ do and why.
AI can be used by humans to simulate human motives, yes - but the computers _have_ themselves _no motives_ whatsoever.
You have said it so well.
I’m excited to see what those human composers will do with that new technology.
For example, I like watching an artist use a tape loop to build up a song live, layer by layer.
I wonder if it will be possible to do something similar where the AI doesn’t just loop the sound but instead is trained to do more sophisticated things.
I’m guessing. I have no idea what will happen. I wish I had the talent to do something myself.
It would be cool if there would be a complete new genre upcoming like hip hop in the 90
Been seeing this pop punk thing starting to happen since 2019. The song that started it was definitely i think im okay by mgk. At least I think it was and now we got a bunch of artists making late 90s early 2000s punk type songs.
Honestly, it already seems like the 2020s will be more fun in music than the 2010s
you high? peep popularized the pop punk rap fusion
@@AXILA666 dang you coming in strong my guy
I was not talking about rap mixed with punk. mgk does have some rap stuff but his album is basically pop punk and so is olivias' things
I think it's a mixture we're heading into of super catchy bubble gum kind of mainstream music.
The roots of this come from bedroom indie pop and super melodic vocal styles that are all over the place.
We may be going into an era of pure emphasized melody regardless of genre. Super hooky everything is here to stay. The music that becomes the most clipped and consumed in mass will be very melodic and moody.
The moody part has roots in one of my favorite ever sub-genre bubbles, vaporwave. The production in those tracks went after capturing nostalgia and giving people vibes that feel nostalgia they've never even felt before.
That will also be infused into future mainstream, I believe.
The underground will then become filled with artists pushing against this of course. So we will see a lot more down tempo and rhythmic styles flourish in the indie scene and such.
Contemporary artists have quite a huge sample of music to draw inspiration from and I can't get enough of it. I think the future of music is extremely bright and interesting.
Imagine a world of independent artists who makes the style music they love.. not sticking to what ppl love ;-; once a legend said, "I will make em love what I'm making" haha
Take the real music back lol
Electronic music has exploded in recent years… also I’ve personally noticed how sound design is really gaining an important role in standing out.
Some producers will use a variety of recording techniques, mixed with sounds they’ve altered and it’s like they create insane vibes and imagery in your head. You’ll hear sounds in the room they’re working in, or noises outside… sounds with real size, distance, and scope, not just in a reverb sense, but beyond that…
It’s like music is getting more “3D” and maybe beyond because it can really capture a tangible time, and vibe. I think that’s the future of music… not just simply regurgitating older styles and making new songs… It’s way beyond just “writing a good song” now, if that makes sense.
I feel sound design has improved but not necessarily lyrics or vocals.
I think the 30 yr cycle applied to the means of production & distribution at the time, i.e. records and record companies.
In our lifetime we've seen that entire system fragment, disintegrate and collapse in the face of digital distribution, as well as homebrewed production.
As a performing musician, I've adapted by acquiring the means of production - i.e. absorbing electronic tools, techniques and evolved to integrate sampling, sequencing,non linear composition etc.
We'll where this takes us - but I do firmly believe there will always be a hunger for music that's not only catchy & poppy - but also unique, thoughtful, heartfelt, and actually Interesting.
Music is 99.9 repeating % made by folks copping off of specific marketed styles (as you just named several).
I don't think the actual proportion of creative people in our population has changed - but the tools of creativity have become accessible by and large to, frankly - Non- creative, unoriginal thinking folks (who simply slap together things that exist, instead creating something new).
I appreciate your sense of humor about it all. Watch this space - as whatever comes next - its going to be considered patently absurd, to whatever tastes and conventions defined music, up to this point 👉 lol 😆
I think there is a limit to how much music can evolve, and how “electronic” we can get. That’s why all these decade specific genres are coming back. They will come back, rotate with another genre, and while they do, we will put our modern twist on each genre, and evolve these forgotten genres into more modern versions of grate genres, that should never be completely forgotten.
U r a nostalgic throw back. Producer's are always riding the wave artists leave in their wake... good luck focusing on trends
Hiphop? U missed edm lol
I’ve been talking about the 30 year nostalgia cycle for years! Glad other people are seeing it too now
This guy just ignored one of the most prominent genres of the last 40 years - electronic music
I have often thought about this too. My theory for the recurrence/recycled contemporary version of music from ~30 years' ago - e.g. a modern take on the 1980's aesthetic which we have been experiencing for the past few years, is that kids grow up listening to their parents record collection. Music is really formative and those bands you hear when your young generally stick with you and may influence you if you end up as a songwriter/producer.
Ohh.. just to say that the 1990's is regarded as hip hop's golden era, but it all started a decade before, I know because as a teen in the early 80's, that's what I listened to!
While I appreciate your over the top enthusiasm, musical climates are like predicting the weather by Al Gore. However, in case you missed it... music was butche... I mean changed forever when zanni hooked studio rappers got high on cough syrup and started caring more about fame and auto-tune than the honest game. Fact check me bishes. Cheers fam!
Music hasn't been butchered. There plenty of new music that's gonna last forever.
The whitest comment award.
one thing IS for sure, and it's that fools have been stuck on autotune ever since Cher
@@iam3then With proper attitude and positive engagement fo sho! Cheers fam!
@@shaft9000 The 'industry' has always "made" 'stars' ;-) But anyway, even Tech N9ne & Krizz k uses auto, but they dont have to... which is why I argue! Cheers fam!
Great video very intelligent insight, you are awesome man.
SUBLIME pretty much changed the game in the 1990s, still to this day they probably had more genres created together in one band than just about any artist in history.
Reggae, Punk Rock, Ska, Hip Hop, Soul, Dub, Blues, Electronic, Acoustic Folk, Brad Nowell lead singer/guitarist of Sublime even sang and rapped in Spanish. Literal IQ on paper or 160. Absolute Musical Genius.
The “pop punk cycle ” is just Travis carrying
I for sure agree that punk rock is gonna be the best faze, I am a sound engineer and all of my usual hip hop artists have been making a ton of punk rock songs, I mean I am vibin with it but yes I think that’s gonna be the next big one for a couple of years at least
i think edm's is next 😂
