there is a lot happening, but nobody wants that.
the new stuff has no chance to become big. forget about that.
kiddies feel good when they have their aggressions in their music...metal and hip hop do this. whoever knows what happens when they get older...if they'll regret that stuff or still like it forever. but it should become boring at some time, no?
nobody can predict it really

Well sure hip hop and metal are more widely popular atm, but it's not the reason some music isn't making it big. Too many people are not open minded enough about music, on one hand you have people who will only listen to metal or hip hop.... but also you have people that won't listen to anything "mainstream" and assume it has nothing to offer them
The only way any "new" stuff will take off is if it goes through the right channels.... but then people who don't appreciate the mainstream music media miss out and vice versa. Also who's to say all the "metal and hip hop" fans wouldn't like new things if they were properly introduced to them.
Goes back to my point of computers playing a bigger role, I have artists on my playlist I would never of heard of if it wasn't for the internet
I'm not even saying I'm right about "the future of music" , more like thinking out loud ! I personally like a bit of everything yet I haven't heard any of this "new" stuff you speak of

Electronic music is still 'relatively' new and it's all still majorly based on using keyboards.
Over the years I've gotten more respect for electronic music simply because
1) It's not all repetitive - even though it's obviously easier to loop sound digitally
2) It's not all commercial - even though it's easier for any noob to make simple music for simple people to love because of the ability to add speed later, edit, etc. -- less skill = higher chance of producing stupid music
3) It allows for things the human brain and body was not able to do before.
Chords we didn't have the fingers for before, speeds we weren't able to produce before.
They might sound shitty now; but maybe some time they will be used well.
When people first heard some music we see as 'classical' they thought it was wild! Schönberg wasn't something any reasonable man could listen to!
If you'd look up the definition for dissonance you'll see it has changed over the couple of years.
We seem to be able to cope with a lot more as time progresses.
I think electronic music (still being quite young, relatively) has a lot of tricks up it's sleeve. It's really just mankind that has to grow into liking music in a broader sense.
More possibilities make for more complexity.
I understand complexity doesn't always mean more enjoyment (hardly!) but it means more possibilities.
Because besides the possibilities to make new music and the apparent need for a new kind of it, music written 30 (Led Zeppelin) to 300 (Bach) years ago isn't less enjoyable!
All in all, my vision of music in the future is a warmer, complicated sound. It's easy to envision an electronical revolution as having a tinny, cold & industrial feel to it.
For anyone looking to broaden his horizon when it comes to electronic music I suggest this site:

There might not absolutely be something there you like (I still like my metal, blues, ska and prog rock - as well as a lot of other misc. stuff - better anyway), but it *might* change your view on electronic music if you're even slightly open-minded.

Yeah I have never been a big fan of the electronic music, I mean there are aspects of it in alot of the music I listen to but generally I prefer other things. I can see things become more complicated though, nowadays just a dude with a guitar and a good voice doesn't cut it for most people....been there done that ! It's the same with electronic stuff most of what I have heard has been fairly simple and non appealing
I am hopeful that most people are waking up to the fact that most the "mainstream" stuff is just manufactured pap
