Symphonic “Electronic” music
Punk, or rather, any genre that will allow younger generations to express any political views. Yes we have Bob Vylan, but this type of bands should be more mainstream (either that or I have lost touch, which I will not deny).
Folk Punk is where it’s at right now. There’s a band named “Doom Scroll” that is quite excellent.
Days N’ Daze are incredible!
Thanks. I’ll give them a listen.
Recently caught “grandson” live. Bob Vylan was supposed to be their touring partner but then… facism. They’re not traditional punk in their sound but carry a lot of those ethos lyrically. The more recent stuff is like modern rage against the machine (and the show felt like those did way back)
Anyways, it was really inspiring to see a new generation embracing those ideas and sharing in them communally.
Punk was never mainstream and is still very much around.
Elvis is not dead. He just went home.
Buffa and other comic opera. More dumb plots, less experimental music!
None. I actually hope for something entirely different.

The blues
That would be so excellent! I became a fan of the blues going out to clubs: the rock bands would crank volume to painful levels and mumble the lyrics, but I could actually hear the blues, listen to the blues, grow to like the blues

I used to say “indie rock that isn’t bland pop music” but then Will Wood came along

Jazz
Jazz never left.
It never left but depiction is quite negative
There’s some great modern jazz coming out of Japan these days. Check out the likes of:
- Hiromi Uehara (and the Trio Project)
- Takuya Kuroda
- Sinsuke Fujieda Group
Also, UK too, check out the Ezra Collective.
Plenty of modern jazz out there, it’s just not mainstream anymore.
Edit - forgot about Ibrahim Maalouf. Dude is incredible on the trumpet. Between him and Kuroda, trumpet jazz is alive and well.
Disco

Ska. It’s been way too long since the last Reel Big Fish album.
And goldfingers music: “Here I ammm, doin everything thing I cann, pretending I’m a super maaaann!”
There’s plenty of 4th wave going on right now. Plus RBF ain’t coning back, Aaron got weird. I’m pretty sure he went the way of Dicky Barrett.
God I hope not. That was a massive disappointment as it was.
Every genre is deeply connected to the time it appeared and the events that shaped it.
I don’t expect punk rock to have a resurgence any more than I expect disco music to come back. They had their time and function. They will influence new things to come as did all the stuff that came before.
Having said that, I expect everything will become a mishmash of AI slop, so who knows?
Rock in the west! I don’t mind Japanese though. Jrock is huge right now. Japan picked up what the US dropped and left on the floor. Currently listening to LiSA. Listened to the new Survive Said the Prophet earlier. ONE OK ROCK and The Sixth Lie are my usual go to. And my second favorite singer is ReoNa (behind Enya who is Irish).
Check out The Warning! They are an awesome band of three sisters from Mexico, with great energy live.
