Is this thread really old?
Electronic music has been mainstream for years, Blackbox - Ride on time, Capella, 2 Unlimited etc etc
Music flows and evolves, its a bit cyclic, I think its very dance and EDM at the moment, like you've mentioned its in a lot of commercial tracks, so I think that it will shift to a more bassy feel, RnB or garage may make a return, but probably under a different name
Everything else will tick a long in the background until its time to become popular again
I'm not convinced that real instruments will decline
Shows may decline, but only because the entire world is awash with them at the moment, and it will become too samey
Its not like its rare to go to a show or a music festival anymore, there are millions of them everywhere, you can go to one every weekend through the summer, and I think the novelty will wear off (or will it?!)
