Pop is now 'extreme pop' i.e. Taylor Swift - bangers by the same production teams, they are products. So they lack a lot of soul. The rest of music is very exploratory - production tricks, sounds, styles. It seems that most basic melody and rhythm stuff is just to boring - but that is what sticks over the long haul. So I think a lot of music today is too specific, and due to what big-pop is ... never sees the light of day anyhow. We may in fact see a lot of 20-century music linger for a while. That said, we don't listen to a lot of 1st half 20th century today ... though still tons from the 60's-80's. Top selling albums are consistently Queen, Metallica, Eagles.
