Latest trend of music industry

When you say 'leading' and 'music industry' as in a present tense you can just look at the sales in the billboard top 200. It should also give you some indication of who (market segment) is buying the most music in the industry.

If you're asking for an opinion of what the next big thing in music is going to be you'll need to consider the market segment too, which seems to be predominately 1.) pre-teen females, 2.) 13-24 females and 3.) males 15-24. Another segment that 'buys' albums en masse is an older segment that all buy the same album for nostalgia. The reason for these earlier age groups dominating are because of the peer structured enviornments they live in.

If I was going to bet on the next big thing I would say lighter dancy pop rock with a rythm/ sampling influenced by hip hop. Stuff that is fun and light. Comedic.
The reason is with the current state of the world there is going to be a plethora of news saturation that will adequately scratch that itch of making people depressed.

It's not the kind of music that I would rush out and buy, but then if I own anything on the top 200, I didn't buy it.
 
well, the emo, tha anyone in your school will tell you about is, MCR, and fall out boy, but real emo is saetia, and ros. but mcr is scene kid music ask ethan jk ethan
 
by that i meant, the producers are making the sound too clean. For example nirvana's nevermind was done far better and cleaner then bleach, but it made them sound too fake.

The difference between seeing this banRAB live, and hearing them on a cd is far bigger, and you realize they can't perform for crap.

emo=meaning "emotional" emo is actually okay, or was, but modern crap like my chemical romance, panic at the disco, fall out boy, or banRAB like them or totally crushing it.

Just picture Grunge all over again, just this time with eyeliner and tight jeans.

So all and all what im saying is singin in a whiny tone, and being depressed is the latest trend.


Though the "being depressed" part has been around in music forever.
 
You're an idiot. Did you ever stop to think that if "emo" stood for emotional then all music would be labeled emo? It's a branch of the hardcore genre that broke off in the mid-80s when acts like Erabrace and Rites of Spring came into being. It has existed long before those generic rock and pop-punk acts started labeling themselves after the original genre just because a few of their merabers liked later "indie emo" acts such as Cap'n Jazz and Sunny Day Real Estate. Emo isn't a trend of fashion or a lifestyle; emo is a genre of music and can only be that. It isn't dead, and it definitely hasn't "evolved" into what you see on MTV and in AP magazine.
