RE: The 50 Year Lifecycle of Music Genres

in #music6 years ago

Interesting man. I think as the world becomes smaller at a faster rate, we are seeing a BIG transition to more and more fusion. Culture (containing art, music, language, ...) has always been a result of fusion. It's getting harder and harder to create a new 'genre' - because all the genres are here already, and thanks to the internet things are mixing up.

I believe in subgenres though! Like the subgenre in hiphop perfected by the likes of Kanye West, Kid Cudi, Drake, ... lyrical, emotional, spiritual, personal, real life stuff.

Sort:  

It feels like every big artist has to be their own genre now. Each flow is like a genre, the Kendrick thing, the Pump thing, for a minute everyone was talking about Young Thug's vocal weirdness, etc.

I'm with you mate, lyrics are important. I was impressed by the Cardi B album for bringing that element to the fore while being fun as hell in the process.
