 Topic: The Music of the future?
Posted: March 03 2008 at 17:49 |
|
I once heard a friend of mine that he was told that "Battles" is kind of "the music of the future"
I mean, that kind of innovating music, weird sounds, strange tempos (15 segs tempo, for exapmle) was called "the music of the future"
I kinda felt sad about this, 'cause I'm affraid that the music that I like a lot may change drastically or disappear.
Just an opinion, what's yours ?

By the way, I'm not saying that Battles are bad or something, I actually love their music

Well, I know what you mean... Something like "music in the future will be more robotic and less soulfull." But don't worry, music is constantly changing, but it is no reason all the existing genres will disappear with the arrival of new styles. A new genre won't change the way music itself is perceived by musicians and people in general, but opens the gates for new criteria. Nice topic.

Well, worst case scenario is Brave New World where there are no musicians, and everything is synthetic and essentially muzak.

OK I think I understand what you're saying, but you never know what the 'music of the future' will really be.. in the early-70s Punk and Disco were both on their way to being the 'music of the future' but really only had their period before something new (or old as is often the case) came along

Back in '63, the Beatles were passed over because guitar groups were on their way out ???
Punk killed metal & prog back in '77 ???
New Wave was music of the eighties, then Jan 1 '80 came & all music was of the 80s ???
Grunge killed all the hair metal, manufactured & poofster bands & placed alternative music at the top of the heap ???
We've since lived through pop punk's period of petulance, PUT UP WITH Pre-fab popsters such as The Spice Girls, along with boy bands such as Backstreet Boys, N'Sync & their ilk, contended with Commercialised mainstream radio country music that sounded barely related to its' roots, seen Rap & Hip-Hop co-opted by corporations just as all previous "pure" musical genres had been.
And finally, with the explosion in easier access to things such as Pro Tools & other recording software / home studio set ups, along with the ability to put out your music in reach of practically anyone who had an internet connection, we've seen the obliteration of what was called the "mainstream". Any type or genre of music which enjoys some success will survive because of its' ability to draw new listeners.

I think that the music of the future is The Wild Stallions (sp?) (Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure reference).

I've got some really good news for you. Battles is not the music of the future. It is the music of the present. There are better things to come.

"My boobs are ok" will probably be the template of all modern music.

I love it when people say Battles is the music of the future.
Is that going to be the next big thing?
