I'm not playing the Genre doomsday prophet ??

R u nuts ??

I'm just pasting an article that i saw and i just wanted your reaction.

I for one think that dance music is far from dead but we all know that music goes in circle

Rock
Pop
Something new
electronica
Rock

Example

Grunge
Post-grunge ( Trip-hop and stuff )
Pop ( Britney spears, aguilera and others )
House ( Daft punk, groove armada, chemical ( ok they're big beat but let's put them into house )
Hip-hop ( Right now .. the frenzy )
Rock ( Rock garage is the next big thing )

And before that we have had, disco, newwave, power metal, metal

Anyway ui see my point

It was obvious that it could not stay as big as it was AND untill someone else do a "techno" album wich will be considered mainstream ( like daft punk did with homework ) the scene will continue to shrink. But i'm not scared there is a New "techno" revolution coming soon, somewhere someone is planning on doing an album that will bring back the masses to electronic music

Hmmm that would be cool.

Thing with Daft Punk though; Homework wasn't independently big, it came out as part of a wave of important electronica albums, namely Chemical Brothers Dig Your Own Hole, Prodigy Fat Of The Land, Madonna Ray Of Light, something from Portishead and a couple of others I can't remember; and it ended with the Propellerheads and Fatboy Slim. My point being it'll take more than one album from more than one group to make a new revolution, and something to inspire them all, not sure what though...

i think that since nothing was happening in europe ( i mean everything musically was done in the U.s ( Grunge was a huge thing )) they had to do something good to answer to grunge ... since Brit-pop couldn't take the charts in the u.s. dance music came as a blessing to them. But since they did nothing good. They sat on their ass thinking that it would be like that for the rest of time

Basement jaxx are trying something on their new album ... combinin House and hip-hop. Doesn't seems to appeal the masses but it's fuckin good. Same thing for crystal methods, maybe redemption comes from Hip-hop ??

hip hop is about to peak. i think its gotten just about as big as its going to get. I dont see it dying any time soon dont get me wrong. but like everything else people are going to get sick of it and its going to die.

iv been travelling through south america here and i can honestly say behind their local dances and music (salsa...) electronic music (or dance music i guess as we know it) is probably second most popular. Its absolutely huge here.

I dont know I would probably rather hear rap than punk or other types of bad rock. At least rap has roots with some kind of meaning. Real hip hop stands for something at least i respect and has some kind of cultural appeal. I cant stand punk and grunge though and what it stands for.. to me just a bunch of spoiled well off white kids for some reason ´rebelling´ against their parents hard work and the good life its given them.. anyway whatever things come and go. I just hope it doesnt turn into disco and that it still stays a legitimate underground culture. I almost fear a full out backlash. Maybe not though. Maybe there will be a backlash to american rap and house will be its replacement in the US.. who knows. Kind of opposite ends of the spectrum. House more of a trendy classy.. hip hop well.. hip hop.

Oh, that. I agree, except that what you're describing is often called punk but actually isn't punk, it's juvenile radio fodder. Punk is Ripcordz, Black Flag, A Bunch Of Fucking Goofs and bands like that. Very political, very grass-roots, and they have less to do with rebellion as with taking on the offensive with societal ills. Punk has turned into everything that what it used to be would beat the shit out of, i.e. whiny, suburban, juvenile, ignorant posers.

Eh??

I totally agree you might be able to remember a group named Operation Ivy, now they were punk.

Back to the topic though, I have lived in Florida where I was often in the minority with my favorite music being EDM. I now moved to Kentucky where I am ALWAYS in the minority. We have to work to listen to trance music in this neck of the woods. I'm drifting from my point...which is who cares how many people listen to it? If you do and you like it shouldn't that be enough... IMHO
