Can new musical styles appear?

What I mean here is, is it me or has music quite generated
about every style possible nowadays?

What is left to create? With Fusion and experimental Jazz,
there is no frontier for that type of music anymore. Every
style has been created, people can only "re-invent" what has
happened in the past. Same goes for Rock, since Grunge died
and Post-rock appeared there's no barriers anymore. For
electronic music, it's the same. No barriers. Hip-Hop is
going nowhere.

So will there be any "major" musical style like you know,
Hip-Hop that really appeared in the early 90's, or Disco, or
Dance, or anything? I dunno if anybody got my question
correctly (Don't say XYZ artist does something different,
I'm talking about major styles so stuff like "Nu" isn't).

people asked this all the time throughout history.

yes, new styles will emerge

but no one can answer it now... or else it would be here.

the answer is yes, autechre are a good example of this
(practically inventing "glitch")

i think it will happen, it just may take a long time and
subtle advances, rather than the next mozart bursting out
onto the scene.

But isn't "glitch" just some expansion of what proto-electro
guys were doing in the 60's?

What I mean is, I don't think we'll see a large, mainstream
new type of music. Perhaps only when somebody brings in
Oriental time signatures, you know like in Indian music so
people stop doing doing 4/4 stuff.

mnemonic?

yeah, autechre didnt 'invent' anything

pretty much every form of music is a sort of decendant of a
pre-existing style

new styles usually come from the mixing of several existing
styles, new variations on old ideas, etc..

i cant really think of any contemporary genre of music that
doesnt have some sort of reference point or 'parent'
genre(s)

so, to answer the original question... yes, new musical
styles can and will appear.. as long as people are born,
start listening to music, and then start making their own
i guess when that stops happening...you can safely say there
wont be any new styles of music..
unless by that point in time, computers are advanced enough
to make music without any human influence

I'll rephrase that for political correctness,
"glitch" didn't EMERGE until autechre got on the scene and
made it popular, and thus, because of them a new style of
music appeared, it may have been done before, but no one
took any notice until these guys showed up

I've heard of styles such as Tweakcore and Organic Techno.
What does it sound like?

Music has limitless possibilities (or whatever).... Hell,
you could listen to your internet dialup connection and call
it music nowadays.

I can get basic point he is making..I think the future of
music lies in cross pollination and reinvention..thanks to
samplers and computing the whole catalogue of every form of
sound generation that has been done in the recorded history
has become available to slice dice chop destroy and
rebuild..

I think in the future there will be very little difference
between music and a computer program. Music will be programs
to evoke emotions.

there will be new styles when the machines take over and we
are long gone

the plaintive cry of the working class robot oppressed by
the shady cabal of well to do mainframes

don't trust any bot over 30gHz

i think the time where one major style rules the period of a
decade or a some years is definately over.
nowadays all mixes up. techno and hiphop and rock are still
quite present,
maybe electro will join and will be mainstreamingly known.
but i dont think there is the possibility that a new style
will take over.
new styles emerge from the underground, mostly when new
possibilities are available.
i cant imagine new possibilities.
there may be some in sampling and combinations, maybe
composing like in classics will take over using many new
instruments and sampling, but thats about it.

i pray for new fast dance music, like better jungle, dnb,
techno, acid all mixed up, like rdj used to do,
rdj album and drukqs + squarepusher,
this kind of stuff is the new thing for me in the past years
and i only once had the chance to dance to this in my
life...
not counting at home...

Everything will die out and sink into the great void. There
we shall dwell and watch the red dragon and listen to
ambient for ever and ever.

All styles are evolving into ambient. This is a fact.
