What will music be like in 30 years? and do you think that it can get any more controversial?

I don't know, but I love that music is the one thing where people can say pretty much whatever they like and people don't get so over the top and start sueing and that over it. Of course there is exceptions.

You know, it's a funny thing. I remember asking that 35 years ago. With the long hair and the hard rock music, I thought we were pushing it to the limit. There have been some things that were a little wild, but I realize it's really no different than what we did. And I believe 30 years from now it will be the same. Young people trying to push it to the limit. I wouldn't worry about it, things will be fine. It makes life interesting +3

30 years is a half a liftime away. I don't know.

In 30 years, there will be exponentially more catagories and sub-genres. Music tastes will be varied, that there will be very few artists that most people will listen to or even know of. With so many anonymous musicians, any controversy they try to stir up will go largely unnoticed.

Probably much the same, but different. You see, I began seriously listening to music in the 50s, and learned to love folk songs. Then along came the Beatles and I learned to like them. Popular music changes constantly and each new generation seems to develop its own special sound. Older generations decry the abandonment of order and symmetry and younger generations continue to experiment. Thus is life...and culture. Classical music seems to have its own niche which lasts...at least for the past few hundred years.
