Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 5191542, member: 1414"] It's already shifting I think. Gen Z appreciates rap & hip hop, but they also love 80s music, the Cure is very popular and so are the Pixies. There are traditional rock bands out there doing better than anyone thinks. Arctic Monkeys for example. Fontaines DC is big now. Then new singer songwriter types like Noah Kahan are wildly popular with people who like rock, country, whatever. Hozier is very popular. They added a second Fenway show the other day because he sold the first out so quickly. My sense of things is that Gen Z grew up with the worst excesses of autotune and overly produced music. So they are seeking authenticity. No sampling, real instruments played live. Lots of crossover genre popularity, as was the case in the 70's and 80s. [/QUOTE]
