interesting you say that. i was going to bring up the fact that no new genre of music has come out of the woodwork in quite some time (at least a good, respectable genre). maybe it's true, there's nothing left to do except mix other styles into one. but then again i'd bet lots of money to say that musicians were saying that 200 years ago. maybe time will tell...

As far as mainstream music goes (radio played bands and such), I honestly believe its in the worst possible state.  All thats ever on is Nickleback type bands, Fall Out Boy, Paramore, Panic at the Disco (which are all basically the same).  I mean less than 10 years ago there were songs on the radio you could at least enjoy.  New artists that actually were good and getting airplay.  Now there is nothing.  I don't see it improving.

I predict we'll be listening to a new genre called zunk.  it'll be a new blend of R&B, rock, hip hop, country music and it will save the dying record industry

Prog itself, though not exactly regressive, have in many cases picked up good stuff from the past. Making new things isn't what's most crucial in my book. As long as prog mixes a lot of both old, new and contemporary from many different genres into an INTERESTING end result I see no problem at all in the making of a bright future for this kind of music.

Well, from my point of view, there is no prerequisite for a new golden era of prog. Prog is on the brink of losing its "progressiveness", its beauty and individuality.
Nevertheless, there are a few bands nowadays, who rescue prog from being dull and primitive, e.g. Oceansize, Dredg, Ritual, Coheed And Cambria, IZZ and so on. The main thing that they really try to make prog be a progressive genre, not a regressive one, they experiment - and that's the thing I've always looked forward to noticing in prog music.
I do hope Prog will take the right direction for the next decade, though.

Where do you see music (mainstream or prog or jazz or whatever) going in the next 5-10 years?

personally, i could barely care about mainstream music since it's been on a giant downward spiral since mid-70's. prog i can see coming to a new golden era, same with jazz. in the last few years there has been more great music made than in the last 10 years. i also see a new wave of jazz unfolding, bigger than anything since the jazz-rock days of the 70s.

what are your opinions and views?
