Has music become stagnant (stopped moving/evolving)?

Pursuingchange · 12-08-2012, 03:47 AM

What do you think? I posted this question in another thread but I wanted new opinions.

Thanks!

Spelling the word "typo" wrong: priceless.

Thread title fixed though.

In answer to your question, no, I don't think music is stagnating. It continues to evolve. There has been loads of music released in the past few years that I couldn't have even imagined existing a decade ago.

Do you listen to any new music?

No because it wasnt "evolving" in the first place. Music just change because people are bored and want to "repel" thats why a lot of old people say new music is crap because it was meant to be this way. however purpose wise music is in intervals so it will probably have purpose again someday.

music always changes. even yearly. you can even tell the difference between mainstream music the year before and the current year. and all different music types have different changes all the time. Everyyear i see a huge change in underground hiphop

Evolving means changing.

I'm a rock fan, and rock has evolved a lot since it's origins. I think it'll keep evolving. New genres are spawning all the time, too, and i don't think that will stop either. Pop songs have always been fairly homogeneous, and as you probably have noticed, all the top ten songs today are blasted with heavy synthensizers just for them to fit in. If you are looking for something unique, try alternative.
