The Next "Fad/Wave" of Music?
What will be the next "fad/wave" of music?
We had the British Invasion of the early 60s, Psychedelic rock later in the same decade, then of course Disco and Punk of the 70s...New Wave of the early 80s, then Rap, Grunge, and Techno...etc.... So, what will the next musical movement/revolution that will take place be?

Right now, it appears that "Chillout" and "Lounge" will be the next big thing.

I guess I'm in the mood to revive some older threads......
"Chillout and "Lounge"? That seems interesting....Any current bands that you see forerunners in both of those "movements"? Is "Chillout" similar to "Trance" and "Lounge" a variation of "Swing" that had the resurgence in the late 90s?
I currently enjoy bands like Cornershop (who combine pop, country, psychadelic, Indian flavor w/techno) and Ozomatli (who I mentioned on another thread that combine Latin w/techno)..... It's interesting how both those respective bands incorporate such diverse sounds w/in their albums, it's unreal..... |

A good example of the way music might be heading would be Paul Oakenfold's "Bunkka", which is a departure from what he usually does, and that is mixing dance and club tracks. Other good examples are The Crystal Method and Moby, who also was strictly dance until he came out with Play, which wasn't trance/techno, but more breakbeat and downbeat (which is pretty much what "Chillout" is).
The lounge genre is exploding with Thievery Corporation, Massive Attack and Morcheeba starting to gain some steam in mainstream music circles. Also, the influence of the dance subculture is starting to show up even on mainstream radio as well. It's incorporating a lot of mixing genres and styles--Theivery relies on taking South American rhythms and adding downbeats and breakbeats to them--they even sometimes use a Jamaican to provide vocals.
Thievery is definitely highly recommended, along with Kid Loco and Royskopp.

I have always hoped for acoustic based rock to barrel in for some reason. I thought when Days of the New came out, it would usher in that genre into a short but powerful age but it never happened.

Sorry... must "bump-up" another old thread......
It seems now more than the ever the new trend will be innovative musicians (like our very own Vince56) producing their music in their very own studios... using in some instances several computer-aided gadgets for more effects....
Perhaps more "Electronica" insipired by the likes of Fatboy Slim, Trent Reznor and Money Mark, or what Kasabian has done w/their debut release....
I actually dont mind this "movement" whatsoever....It creates "visionaries/revolutionaries" who dont compromise themselves to the mainstream... Just the sound that is created/generated is unlimited.....
