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.

I caught you red-handed in the "What Are You Listening To?" thread, playing some of the most cookie cutter melodic metalcore I've ever heard, some sub-Bullet for My Valentine ****, and now u do dis? Dude...
