Something's going to come along and it's going to be one of those big revolutionary changes. One of those periods in the history of music that leaves people looking back thinking, "holy shit". But it'll take a while because first dance music culture has to die down a bit to make room for the new.
Neo-rock isn't it. All those bands that the British music press get exicted about aren't it either. The next "it" won't be discovered by a journalist, it'll be discovered by people who get out there and experience it.
I agree that it'll come from a sense of common excitement robyn - i'm thinking a song-based new organica is the coming thing ... real instruments, simple recording, blend of what's possible in the new 'digital hub' life combined with the things about music that have always touched people .... in fact it's already happening just below the surface, and while it may never x-over into the pop market, it will the music that people look back on signify as what was important in 01.02.03 ....
Hi all. New here. Shouldnt be But I am. Nxt big thing will hopefully relieve us from the manufactured rock crap that I am constantly sickened by. I nearly got into a dirty rant session here but shall save it for later when you all are bored with my POV..All i can say is it's a little like picking someone up in a bar..You premeditate on it you gonna either jinx it or be standing right nxt to that Someone & not know it.
I'm not sure there is ever going to be the Next Big Thing', any more, or at least in comparison to the past. Music is becoming so fluid and easy to access, easier for artists to distribute on a global scale, that tastes and genres are dividing and multiplying into the smallest niches now. Musicians and fans are really being allowed to explore and expand, and they are able to circumvent those old filters and distribution channels. This is allowing these smaller niches to really grow, music fans aren't being forced to settle for what's offered so much anymore, and artist aren't being force to conform as much. So there isn't going to be some genre that gets mass marketed and hyped to us, therfore becoming the Next Big Thing, but I think the fluidity and diversity will continue to grow, and ways of tapping into that and accessing that will continue to expand, and I guess you could say, if anything, that will be the next big thing.
NBT is here with At the drive in, QTST, strokes, white stripes,... etc. We've probably got about 18 months left before it starts to slide downhill again and we have to wait another decade for anything great to emerge again in a global sense. That's not my theory, that was Kurt Cobain's I think.
Local scenes will continue to bubble away, NZ will stay strong but radio airplay and quotas will drive NZ music to a more homogenous sound in line with whatever's hip in the states or UK. Easy listening and a/c music will have a funding boom as govt concentrates on meeting quotas. Sadly radio programmers will think the kids like it, and the kids evenutally will succumb. Hopefully an underground backlash fueled by musicians surviving on artist dole will produce a fresh batch of great diverse music from NZ. Otherwise it's pony tails, boob jobs and candycoated muzak for the next 5 years. On a darker note the Canwest network will be bought by the aussies and subliminal messaging introduced onto Channel Z, More FM and TV4 will fool kids into believing hoobastank are great, and will trick the public into sabotaging our very own All Blacks ( they've already tested it on John Mitchell).
Disco 2 will die but NZ, Brisbane and the Phillipines will be the last to catch on.
The rock n roll revival will also die off very soon but hopefully not before the D4 and the Datsuns make a killing.
Eighties metal, jazz and funk will be the next sounds to be devoured and shat out. Hip-hop will reign victorious.
I think that fad is already over - the Nirvana/Destiny's Child song sounds novel the first time, then just annoying. And isn't it just an extension of Jive Bunny anyway?
I prefer the the idea of alternative soundtracks to films as espoused on these forums by (I think) Ed and samflux a few months back. Jakob as an alternative to Enya on the LOTR soundtrack anyone?
the eighties is the next big thing. joy division / the cars / talking heads / new wave pop and rock disco are going to be huge. rock that you can dance to...Joy division/new order got it right, there are gonna be a bunch of bands that get it right again.
just like fashion's 20 year cycle, the same is for music, but just how bumbags never quite came into fashion again, cheese 80s music never will. But good 80s music will come in force, just go see "24 hour party people"....i reckon that movie is gonna set some shit rolling.
thats my prediction. The rock revival unfortunately will die off extremely quickly. My guess is that the garage rock thing will be one of the fastest passing fads in recent music history, a shame....but how many rock'n'roll records can you put out that have an original sound, you may as well just buy some 60s vinyl, when it was done ther first time. Grunge (ewwww hate that term) hadn't been done to such an extent before, but frankly rock'n'roll has. and nu-rock'n'roll as opposed to nu-metal doesn't even sound any different to old rock'n'roll, at least even nu-metal is original (kinda).
I reckon Looma are the shit, and should be the next big thing (but would we want them to be?)
looma should be the next big thing, i agree. but i don't think its all that likely.
i have to say i don't have that much faith in a joy division revival either - i had a big argument with my science class about whether in fact it was stupid to mistake joy division as the name of a girl (eg joy enriquez) which pretty much ended with everyone pointing at me and saying i liked weird music. and i don't think too many of them know who new order are either. that could be just my school, but i'm willing to bet that chch is not exactly a centre of new wave fandom.
i heard ian curtis rose from the grave and has a new band which are releasing an album in 2003 which will change the face of modern music as we know it.

The Black Seeds become the new Supergroove.
K'lee releases a chart topping album then disappears from the public eye, never to be seen again (or becomes a television presenter).
The "Neo - Rock" genre becomes the "Grunge of the New Millennium".
Pacifier become the founders of the genre "Neo - Metal - Punk Rock".
