Sometimes I think certain genres like Pop need to just die a miserable death, but then I take that thought back because Pop offers melody galore, among other things. I absolutely loath the majority of Pop music around now, copy cat and so much of it is so contrived...
But I don't think any specific genre will actually cease to exist, I think there will be an audience for pretty much any of it as long as music exists. I do contest to the fact that genres do seem to peek, and then have a significant decline in popularity, but never actually going away. Generations of people being ushered in play part in that, not every generation will favor the same genre the same way as the generation before them.
