Top Ten Music Genres Which We Want to Become Popular In the Future

The Top Ten
1 Thrash Metal Thrash Metal is a Heavy Metal subgenre developed during the early 1980s and an early precursor of Extreme Metal. Thrash Metal features a faster and more aggressive guitar work than Traditional Metal with shredding and double-bass drums and can range from melodic singing to loud shouts.

The English band, Venom is credited for laying the groundwork for Thrash Metal with their debut album "Welcome... read more

Yes! I'd get to listen to Metallica everyday! Please drop the Music genre crap and Mop so we can listen to this!

I've got it! We need to combine thrash and dubstep! We could either call is Thrashstep, Industrial Thrash, or Dub-Metal.

I hope not. I don't want the local radio stations ruining it. They would at holy wars about 30 times a day

2 Rock n Roll Rock music is a music genre that was created in the 1940s. The genre was popular during the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s. Rock bands generally consists of a guitar player, a drummer, bass player and singer. There are many rock subgenres - such as heavy metal, alternative, hard rock, grunge, and more. Notable rock bands and music artists include The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Queen, Van Halen, Foo Fighters,... read more

I don't care what kind of rock it is. Progressive rock preferably but any type of rock needs to come back! I'm sick of hip hop/rap. It's so negative and inappropriate, I wish it could just go away. I don't want those boring hip hop beats, they sounded cool because of their complexity, but now they are just so boring and samey. Rock beats are unique and are done with an instrument called a DRUM SET. And rock musicians actually write their own music. It isn't all sample based. I know that some great artists like Tool, Blink-182, and Liam Gallagher have dropped some great new albums, I hope they all get acknowledged.

I agree, rock has never been popular. Even in the late 50s people were listening to le gay rap

One of my favorite music genres.

3 Progressive Rock Progressive rock is a broad genre of rock music that developed in the United Kingdom and United States throughout the mid to late 1960s.

If only Tool would hurry up on the new album!

4 Grunge Grunge (sometimes referred to as the Seattle sound) is a subgenre of alternative rock and a subculture that emerged during the mid-1980s.

The early 90s never happened, right?

5 Post Grunge

By Post Grunge I mean stuff like Chevelle, Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, RED, Decyfer Down, Foo Fighters, and Bush. Just as long as Nickelback doesn't release anything else.

Everybody needs to buy the new breaking benjamin album! Maybe once we do that, this will happen!

Seriously, I don't get it why some people around me don't like it, they are dimwits.

I like how Nickelback is the image chosen here.

6 Country

Who remembers when country was somewhat popular back in 2009? Somehow, country seemed to decline in recent years, probably due to Taylor Swift's move away from country (she was like, country's biggest star), and country having a bad rep for being formulaic (I don't care, but some people do).

But there has GOT to be someone who can fill Taylor's empty shoes. Somebody has got to create awesome, somewhat pop-sounding country songs (while keeping the banjo, pedal steel, and acoustic drums), market them as both country songs and pop songs, and have a loyal fan base around the globe! Someone's got to do it! And when people who listen to them discover that what they're listening to is country, they might try and check out other country stuff, thus supporting the country music industry! Then comes the upward spiral! Let's see it happen! We might even get singers from around the globe putting out country in different languages, increasing the genre's popularity even more!

No it isn't the real reason people don't "listen" to country is because it's always the same subject (trucks, drinking etc) I don't think anyone even "likes" this horrid "genre".

The worst Country Music ever made is still better than any Rap.

7 Alternative Alternative rock is a style of rock music that emerged from the independent music underground of the 1980s and became widely popular in the 1990s. In this instance, the word "alternative" refers to the genre's distinction from mainstream rock music.

Well it would be nice if alternative music would get popular like it was in the 90s, but without nirvana and Kurt cobain it wouldn't be the Same! R.I.P kurt!

It's already popular

8 Industrial
9 Boom Bap
10 Industrial Rock

If Stabbing Westward would make a comeback and NIN, Filter, and Device would release new albums, there might be a chance.

Was somewhat popular in the 90's maybe but it would be nice to see it be mainstream.

Industrial was definitely popular around the mid-90s.

The Contenders
11 Math Rock

Music centered around odd time signatures,
Genre includes bands such as: American Football, Tottoro, Chinese Football, and both bands with the name Clever Girl.

12 Rap Rock

Cage the elephant is an amazing rap rock/ alternative band.

I miss the rap rock days of Rage Against the Machine.

13 Post-Punk
14 Progressive Metal
15 Rap Jazz

Sick of all the trap crap. Rap and hip-hop when infused with jazz and blues is enchanting. Let this be the new wave of rap for decades to come.

16 Ska Punk

Bands like sublime, rancid, streetlight manifesto and the mighty mighty bosstones. What a great genre

17 Classical

Its been around for over 700 years, pretty certain its going to last.

I can actually understand why nobody listens to this.

Ha, that will never happen.

18 Nu Metal
19 Vaporwave
20 Heavy Metal Heavy Metal music is a sub-genre of rock music that originated in the late 1960s-70s, featuring more distorted and heavier instrumental work and darker lyrical themes. Heavy Metal broke into mainstream success with bands such as Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Metallica.

Other notable Heavy Metal bands include Judas Priest, Anthrax, Testament, System of a Down, Megadeth, Slayer, Pantera, Avenged... read more
21 Eurodance
22 Emo Emo is a style of rock music characterized by melodic musicianship and expressive, often confessional lyrics. It originated in the mid-1980s hardcore punk movement of Washington, D.C., where it was known as "emotional hardcore" or "emocore" and pioneered by bands such as Rites of Spring and Embrace.

I'm pretty sure emo is coming back. I just hope its emo rock/pop and not emo rap that's coming. And I don't have a problem if it is emo rock cause it's a genre that's actually good.

Not Poser Emo again at least.

23 Jazz Jazz is a music genre that originated in the African-American communities of New Orleans, United States, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and developed from roots in blues and ragtime. Jazz is seen by many as "America's classical music".

The original jazz music is, I think the best jazz genre there is and will be. It's can be swinging or with more emotions. It's beautiful and a lot of people like it nowadays and I think this will grow to another peak over the years. I hope so.

I predict a jazz comeback between the 2020's-2040's.

Please back jazz

24 Soul Soul music (often referred to simply as soul) is a popular music genre that originated in the African American community in the United States in the late 1950s and early 1960s. It combines elements of African-American gospel music, rhythm and blues and jazz.
25 Lo-Fi Hip Hop

The whole chill/jazzy aesthetic has been becoming more popular in the late 2010's so it would be cool if radio stations played chill-hop tracks.

A smooth and beautiful fusion of jazz and hip-hop. Along with electro swing this genre should gain more support besides on the internet.
