Whatever the next innovation in popular music will be, it won't be very popular/mainstream, because the majority of people prefer simpler music they can understand. When the "innovations" were still relatively simple things, then they were fairly popular. Once they became more complex (no where else to go), they increasingly went to the fringe.
Think of Beethoven being popular even compared to simpler Mozart and Bach, but once it got to atonal modern classical music, its popularity waned. Same pattern has already been happening with pop music.
It's why Adele is really popular, but Animal Collective isn't.
