What genre of music do you think will dominate in 2013?

[Fluttershy]

In 2012 Female pop has dominated with the likes of Emeli Sande,Rihanna,Paloma Faith & Nicki Minaj throwing out some massive hits.

It appears now that ,Dubstep & dance is coming to its commercial end as generic Timbaland, RedOne, Dr. Luke, Calvin Harris and David Guetta style of dance-pop is starting to slowly disappear from the charts.

Looking at 2013 Beyonce, Gaga, Britney, Cher Lloyd, Demi Lovato and Miley Cyrus will all have new albums out so it is looking at another female heavy year of pop music.

But what genre/style of music do you think will be dominant in 2013 ?

Music that i won't listen to most likely.

[chappers]

Its all been the same type of music for about 15 years now, rap, R&B, indie, annoying female soul type music that the x-factor bums the fuck out of or equally worse, metal. None of it really interests me, and I swear Beyonce and da krew have like a new album out every six months lol.

Not to sound like a dick but does anyone really care anymore what kind of music we're told to listen to? I mean, it used to be sort of the only way we'd get exposed to new music, through TV and radio, now with the Internet you can discover new music all the time and it doesn't matter what the labels want you to listen to. I can safely say I'm barely ever exposed to shit like Nicki Minaj or whatever and stick to my little niches of music. Frankly I find it hard to find new bands at all, I'm safer just sticking to the bands I know and their new releases.

Wait people listen to the radio? How terrible for them?

[Adampro123]

That 2nd question mark seems misplaced. But yeah the radio is pretty horrible it's either old stuff or rap country or kesha type shit. I'd like to have XM to try to discover more stuff i like.

Exactly my thoughts, there is a reason that I stopped paying attention to the charts years ago.

I'm going to sound super old but I only listen to AM radio these days.

Calvin Harris is the least generic mainstream artist working today. He has adapted his sound for so many varying artists and can even create his own songs as well as genuinely awesome mixes. And how is Calvin Harris dying out or even slowly disappearing from the charts? His latest album is huge, it is all I am hearing in shops, clubs etc.

That is kind of narrow minded, its kind of jumping on the 'they don't make good music anymore' bandwagon which is piffle to be honest. As Prax said you can find good music on the internet. You can't really list indie either seeing as it branches into different genres including folk, rock and electro. Music today actually has the most genres available. Plus there was a lot of shit songs being made back in the day but since we are past that time all that is remembered are the classics. If we fast forward thirty years this generation's music will look better when good bands are remembered and crap like black eyed peas is forgotten.
