what is the future of music? the default answer is techno related "futuristic" sounding rythems and melodies. do musicians honestly think that? of course not. but where to go if not rehashing or combining genres to create something apparently new. if you're hearing it on the radio, it has already been done so why immitate? in the past 20 years we've watched the genres of alternative rock, gangsta rap, and r&b die out and reinvent to unsettling homages. today, rock music sounds like distorted country, country sounds like rap, and rap sounds like mother goose nursery rhymes. the innovations are happening in dark places. the "backpacking" 25-35 year old hip hop kids are more comfortable in the underground now that the internet has allowed for the scene to be profitable and interesting. the bossalaus movement is found here. the future of music is defined by groups of individuals in the tradition of label/crew identification. the expansive communication possibilities require that bands and music producers cross over and become more visible. before, 90 % of networking was handled by a label, now one can accomplish equal or greater exposure with a clever social network campaign.
