AvadaKedavra Posted October 7, 2023 Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) As many know, at the beginning of this decade, we had Synthwave goin popular with The Weeknd, but the genre didn't stay on the charts for long and so many have tried to copy that blinding lights sound and underperformed....Pink with Runaway, Zara Larsson with Cant Tame Her, Ava Max with Maybe youre the problem. 80s influenced music in the other side been able to stay but some are gettin tired of it Disco-Nu Disco. Very successful in this decade and we are still getting hits with this sound, like "Flowers." "Dance The Night" By Dua Lipa. The easiest road to have good chart positions today?? Pop Punk. It had a revival in 2021 with Good for U,Willow-Maneskin-MGK- and others... and this year it seems to be trendy again with Olivia Guts and Billie new record approaching Synthpop With releases from Taylor Swift and Harry Styles, Synthpop has remained trendy and is a good way to have hits today It can have influences from different decades. Midnights feels very 80s but it has a lot of influences from the 70s production wise R&B had a small resurgence with artists like SZA dominating and some Doja Cat songs too Afrobeats. Some songs influenced by this genre have been very successful this decade Songs like Calm Down and Woman House. With releases like "Chromatica" and "Renaissance" by Beyoncé, we saw that it still has some commercial viability but probably fading soon Country also had a strong unexpected resurgence and we are all goin Rancheritos Latino Music will keep rising cause Latinos are gettin bigger in the States Lloren niñas. Les guste o no. O si no vayan comen empanada de pollo con picante We also had an Eurodance-90's Trance wave comeback with artists sampling old Hits like Barbie Girl-Blue by Eiffel and trancey songs like Miracle Now that we've had revivals of the 80s, 70s, and 90s, do you think it's time for the 2000s? or maybe go even more retro? The 50s-60s? Is bubblegum pop-Y2K stuff next? Electrohouse? What music genres would you like to see next? I would love Middle Eastern-Indian sounds trendy again this 2024-2025 This thread has been done in the past multiple times and is a little bit stale but i feel like talkin about it again cause we are approaching 2024-2025 very soon Have heard some people saying of how that "Baby Voice Trend" in the style of Pinkpantheress reminds them of that bubblegum britney sound and it could be a signal of something new? Same as The return of Nsync-Nelly Furtado.....???? and Ariana grande Fantasize havin traction Are people dying for the 2000s to have a proper revival? Are u ready to live the 2000s again? in this new decade and then we move to the 2010s for the end of the 2020s and then we have something totally new for the 2030s with AI-Robots-Aliens-VR-Holographic takin control of our whole lives and destroying us Thanks for all your future comments. I appreciate them Sorry for the long post. I have too much free time today Suggest any new genres u like Edited October 7, 2023 by AvadaKedavra
Mordecai Posted October 7, 2023 Posted October 7, 2023 I think it's inevitable music is gonna have a more international flavour this decade now that music is more accessible than ever thanks to streaming. We had the rise of Kpop in the late 2010s, and Afrobeats and Latin genres like reggaeton are becoming more mainstream. I think the question is who or what is going to get these genres to fully cross over into the mainstream. If someone like Bad Bunny released an English language album I could see it happening. For now though I hope we don't have another genre dominate music anytime soon because as we're seeing, artists from all sorts of genres are having their chance to shine. Though I will always root for a eurodance/electronic comeback. I'm also dying for someone to make hip house in the vein of Azealia popular 1

Things gettin more robotic and "tech-like" would probably lead to electronic music gettin more trendy-popular??? Agree with you 100%. AI will transform so many things Your mind i visualize the 2050s-2060s as a world where EDM-Dance music is in everything Maybe Hyperpop fans will have finally their redemption? They been dreaming for so long of hyperpop goin big. This genre suits technological advancements?
Dr. Alexander Posted October 7, 2023 Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) It’s obviously going to be alternative, ballads, mid-tempo pop, R&B - afrobeats, country, and the occasional rap smash. A lot of minimalism in the production. 90s 2.0. We already hear it now. The third year of each decade has always carved out the sound of the entire decade. Edited October 7, 2023 by Dr. Alexander 1

Simpsonwave and HOME - Odyssey shaped my teenage years OT: Y2K is gonna dominate everything else for a few more years. Then I can see an early 2010s revival in music with Snow Strippers currently laying the ground work. 2
Billionaire Posted October 7, 2023 Posted October 7, 2023 Jersey Club & UK Garage/DNB are already having their moment tbh. You can kinda see that with PinkPantheress (Boy's A Liar), that Strangers song blowing up right now, Drake with Honestly Nevermind, multiple NewJeans songs, etc. I predict Brazilian funk will have it's moment too but you didn't hear it from me 1
babyboy1 Posted October 7, 2023 Posted October 7, 2023 the new music is simply not interesting enough.. idk how people listen to stuff like olivia rodrigo and billie elish...pre 2015 catalogue streaming will continue to dominate. But we need a new gen of interesting pop girls and the new GAGA.. when are we gonna get that. 3

So smooth so relaxing. should i change it for kill bill or one of the songs of her acclaimed record? Thank y'll for your comments y'll have such an excelsior taste. Didnt answer your comments cause i dont wanna clog the thread with my opinions Hope all these ideas come true or some of them Crossing fingers Manifesting these genres in the mainstream. Universe listen to us. We need this to be the reality of the next years. ATRLERS are too ahead of our times with their visions Personally i would love if we stop" throwbacks" and instead of goin to the old. We create something new. New moods-aesthetics-sounds-clothing trends we havent made yet Something very unique-archetypical to the 2020s Edited October 7, 2023 by AvadaKedavra 1

Cruel Summer Posted October 7, 2023 Posted October 7, 2023 With the technological advancements occurring right now disrupting the creative space, I really want to see a parallel in having hyperpop fully and completely happen, full send. Charli has been a brilliant pioneer in the space along with A. G., but I want to see more. I had actually hoped that Dawn of Chromatica might help to ignite that spark, but that didn't happen, sadly - Gaga was by far the biggest artist to embrace hyperpop sounds and philosophy in such a clear way, and I'm hoping we see more of that soon (and a little more of a return to that space from Charli herself). PC Music as a label and collective is dying this year, but that could be the start of something even bigger if the right people do the right things. I know this is incredibly unlikely, but it's what I want. How I'm Feeling Now was maybe the most perfect realization of the hyperpop concept so far, IMO, and yet it left me feeling "she could do even more, I can feel it" - and I know it's not limited to just Charli and her close circle of collaborators. It's also not lost on me that the tragic loss of Sophie was a massive blow to the momentum of this genre, but her legacy can still persist. This is also maybe my delusion talking, but I think a hyperpop revolution led by artists who do the work themselves and refuse to abuse AI tools, but embrace them where appropriate, could serve as a thought-provoking juxtaposition to how AI creativity is currently looking in its infancy, comparable in the surface-level sense of artifice but starkly different in that it ultimately comes from a human heart with human flaws. 2
Joyride Posted October 7, 2023 Posted October 7, 2023 I think Dua, Billie, Ariana, Charli XCX, Sabrina Carpenter and PinkPantheress are about to define the sound of this decade. they're all pretty much set up for a successful era. 1
getBusy Posted October 7, 2023 Posted October 7, 2023 I can see someone going on tour for an album that does NOT exist on streaming and is NOT available for purchase. Ticket prices are at an all time high and this could potentially push things even further. It has to be someone HUGE, one of those people in music who can do whatever they want (because obviously labels would not be happy with the approach).
MingYouToo Posted October 7, 2023 Posted October 7, 2023 r&b pop will rule, all subgenres or adjacents to it. from the SZAs, the NewJeans, the Ariana's of the world are coming to shape this decades sound. Its always gone 'big pop wave' -> 'sudden pop r&b rise w rap attached by the side'
