  Anyway, I thought he made a pretty good point here...

  People now seem to feel that "no genre ever really dies" (to adapt the Neptunes/NERD motto). Was this in fact one of the problems with the Noughties? No genre went gently into that good night: they all clung on, cluttering up the musical landscape. This not only made it harder for new things to emerge, it's meant that we've all come to forget that, in fact, totally new things have emerged in the past.

  • Another example is what they call "punk rock" on the radio these daysukit
  • Just because some things hang on and don't die doesn't mean it's all stale. Look how jazz works its way into other music.CyBrain
