I call the present popular music "McDonald's" music. Just keep recording the same safe stuff over& over, force market the personalities to the masses for easy access and VOILA! mega-bucks for the record companies.

Thanks for resurrecting some old threads Methem. I really like the other one ("roots"). However, I'm not enamored with this one. The question is too broad, and it assumes you're talking about specific genres.

Music evolves, retreats, always changes yet remains set in certain constants.

It's an impossible question as stated.
