Okay, this is what I see happening. It is already happening some, but I see it continuing and growing. For a while now in the past tens years we've seen music styles splinter more and more. Subgenres of sub-genres. It's gotten unbearable. (No, no these two artists aren't the same. X uses feedback while Y is clean. Their melodies are the same but the sounds are totally different.)
Now there are many artists that combine styles. They take what they like from rock, disco, soul and rap and mash it into something new. I see this in pop music by Gnarls Barkley and Timbaland's productions. I see it in the underground (or not so underground) in New York by artists like LCD Soundsystem. A movement that brings people together.
