The next new thing must be mainstream or pop(popular) enough to appeal to the masses ! Obscure or off the wall music, which I enjoy also, will not be embraced by the public at large, believe me !
Adele is a glaring example of embracing basic old school pop , without getting into several meaningless genres/sub genres. Have we reached the point of no return ? .....maybe so..like MH, if I like it and it sounds good then that's all that matters. I am getting a litttle fed up with the overuse of genres !!!!! A lot of the sub genres only appeal to a small fraction of the general music buying/listening populus. Cults or small pockets of fans are created from these specialised genres. I like it all !!!!...however I find I can talk music to a stranger if I mention Adele more so than if I mention ..say ...Battles...lol.QUOTE=CRAZY-HORSE;57422]there will IMO not be any new "genre" of music as everything seems to be put into sub-genres of other genre's, personally im not interested in "the next new thing", as long as it sounds good it can sound like anything it wants to[/QUOTE]

The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!
