what if the people that watch mtv now they watch shit liek sweet 16 and t-pain videos and mike jones and next top model do you think that 20 years from now they will be like "man i miss the days when you could flip on mtv and see next top model or some emo band or some generic rnb singer."? god i hope not
Yah, because the same way you like shitty music from your childhood, it will be the same with this generation.
what will survive, tho? i hope to god people arent still watching these mindless reality show deal or no deal type stuff.
Same way they were listening to the Carpenters. It's totally unpredictable, probably whatever Rolling Stone Magazine, MTV and a few other pop icons latch on to.
the bands that i personally will remember are the bands that i've discovered on my own through the internet and the music from before my day that i really like and I think this will be the same for a lot of people, certainly the more music oriented ones. nowadays the internet is a perfect medium to search for a broad range of music totally seperated from the music industry. if there will be people that will become nostalgic about sweet sixteen and whatever. i dunno, but i would regard them as being kinda lunatics. my dad told me that the music that now is regarded as typically seventies music was 'underground' back than and didn't get much airplay on the conventional stations, but i think this won't happen to the music from our days, there is just tooo much out there you know?
Well, considering you belong to a music forum I'd say you're opinion isn't exactly in line with the rest of the population.
