I think so. Maybe not, but if things are as cyclical as they seem to be then I'd say yes.

What I'm curious about is what the type of music that's going to eventually eclipse hip-hop will be. I mean hip-hop has been around for several decades so whatever this next big style will be is probably already around to a certainly extent, though still in its infancy.

I'm sure it'll be something electronic, some type of easy to listen to dance style music.

I think rap/hip hop is going to eventually play itself out though, just like disco did back in the 70s-early 80s.

gimmicky bands that look good on a poster, have a really eye catching logo for merchandising tie-ins, sub-par but catchy choruses.

This is what we've bought and paid for by stealing music, labels need to re-coup their losses somehow. It simply isn't good enough anymore to have a band that makes good music as that isn't where the profit is made anymore

So ask yourself, is your music REALLY free?

I think that post-grunge will evolve and become a really awesome genre

I've been noticing a lot of groups have been leaning toward a more industrial sound.
