Music during the 1T

[galaxy]

Replying to the first post...I think you've got your timings a little off. Rap is today's "new great dominating genre," its rise driven by Adaptives, just like rock in the 1940s and 1950s. It will remain dominant for decades. Trust me, if you spend any time around Homelanders you'll know - rap is by far the largest genre for the majority of them, regardless of race, class, or any other divisions. The rap dominance extends up to late Millennials too, maybe up to around 1998 or so. I'm not a fan of most rap, which makes me distinctly the odd one out among people my age.

(At one time I would have progressed from that sentence about how I'm not a fan into a lengthy complaint about how music was forever declining and how the world is perpetually going to hell in a handbasket and I should prepare for a life of relentless slow and steady worsening of everything. I'm glad T4T led me away from that way of thinking.)

(Though to be fair, for me, a person who has never experienced any turning other than late-3 and 4, expecting a life of relentless decline is a pretty reasonable conclusion to come to, even if it's not correct).


To add to the above, EDM is perhaps analogous to the big-band music of the late 1930s and early 1940s - as big-band was the transition between the jazz era and the rock era, EDM is the transition between the rock era and the rap era.
