Wow! I wrote a response to this thread last night about 1AM, but I slept on it until this morning:


Even tho gqom will peak in a more worldly way before 2020 and begin slowly dying out,
there’ll be a more worldwide interest in electro-champeta with heavier emphasis on its jibaro component.
It’ll die by media consumption soon afterwards.

I’m guessing that rara tech will spread too, but the kompa elements that you hear these days
will be nearly gone by 2020 with a more growing emphasis on rabòday taking over the beats.
That would be the club scene.

As for new styles: maybe there’ll be something that could be called “ragburn" -
a mixture of ragtime and footwork with beats exceeding 160 bpm or songs that
contain purposely unresolved melodies that drop into extended silences (“blueballing”) -
a response to a two year absence of net neutrality.

After 2020, I’m expecting more people to be tired of music that tells stories -
especially ones that feature lyrical content, so we might see more online
sound creations done for the sole purpose of having them become part of
a larger system of interactions whereby you have some kind of constantly
morphing situational event portal that combines more than sound
(and that could also be transported into physically live events if need be).
So, if you’re proud of your lyrics for your debut, I’d say that you’re already
looking backwards.

Thanks for the answer, I like the ideas you have here. I was planning to have a debut which is half me and my true way of making music and the other half pop hits. I would like to taste stardom just for the sake of it, and then return to doing whatever the hell I want, without minding the charts or mainstream consumers. By the way, is there a section in the forums where I can post some of my lyrics? It would be nice to finally get some opinions or criticism on them.

That's against the rules until you've been here and contributed to the forum in a way that shows us you're not just here to use us as a sounding board.

In the year 2020 Optimo by Liquid Liquid was known as one of the first proto-Nu Cowbell songs ... believe it or not.

I would stick with your "true" way. People worth their salt know when you're trying for the big bucks.
That doesn't mean that you can't make some adjustments to your sound (new discoveries, changing outlook, ...),
but as long as at it appears as a natural extension, then you could be convincing in the end.

On another thread, about power electronics, I mentioned noisy Prurient.
Not only does Dominick Fernow have his techno side-project of Vatican Shadows,
but even his label Hospital Productions has some new rhythmic dark electronics ...
and you don't get the feeling that he's compromising his original interests.

I'd never call you a loser, master Troll.
