What do you think will happen with the rock scene within the next 10 years? What style will prevail? Which band will have the big "breakthrough"? (Meaning massive cd sales, mass acceptance, etc...) In my opinion....I think alot of the older bands have come out with quality releases but haven't regained the popularity they once had. So....I think that some young new band will come along with a new sound and have a massive breakthrough. I also believe they will have somewhat of an eighties rock sound (with a bit of seventies & nineties mixed in).

I hate to say this, but you guys begin to sound/whine like my dad when I was 14 or 15 years old and just getting into the likes of AC/DC, Purple, Maiden, etc. He was always complaining to me that "modern music" had lost all of its melodies. We dug those bands because they were loud, rebellious and obnoxious, remember? Cut to twenty years later and we do the same thing as our parents did! Complaining about todays teens and their bad taste in music. Fact is, they like their music just as loud, rebellious and obnoxious as we did - hence listening to Korn, Limp and all the Rap.

So current fave raves of mine like NEVE and MARS ELECTRIC will still get lost under a pile of shite unless someone influential in the company takes them under their wing. Despite them being very current sounding and combining the musicianship influence of the 80's.

My music collection will make a great 'bargain bin' one day!!!]]> Surfpunk NoticeboardThu, 27 Jul 2000 05:27:51 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,3604,3633#msg-3633 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,3604,3633#msg-3633 Kieran NoticeboardThu, 27 Jul 2000 04:53:05 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,3604,3629#msg-3629 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,3604,3629#msg-3629
High school kids will end up picking what defines the current music scene, now and in the future. The scene is always changing so there is some hope that if we wait some of the old will make a brief comeback.

Personally, I just hope that at some point high schoolers will start caring again about musicianship and the current crop of bands will be forced to write better music. I also hope that the internet delivers on some of its potential and get more diversity back in the scene, like late 60s, 70s and to some degree the 80s.

For now, I can console myself with the bands in the current scene who the high school kids have made a mistake by not identiifying as 70s and 80s throwbacks, like Goo Goo Dolls, Collective Soul, Savage Garden, Vertical Horizon, ...

As far as prevailing styles ... I think in the end it'll come to all styles living one next to another, and everybody sticking to whatever he/she likes best.
