Why do you want to know this?
You scare they’re feeding the answers to Grok?
It’s not really a weird question, is it?
On the contrary, to me this is a really weird question, I struggle to guess why anyone would want to know what a random bunch of strangers think about this.
Becaaussee I like music and wanted to have an interesting discussion?
Fair enough. Though the format of this community is quite literally finding out what a bunch of strangers on the internet think about a given subject.
I am waiting for Country to finally throw off this hick ass pseudo-nationalistic redneck caricature bullshit clown suit and get back to its roots as a genre that tells hard stories about real life.

Probably a hundred more, pretty popular but no radio play because commercial radio is nonsense and mostly commercials. But if you put the above into a streaming playlist, you will find the good country music of today.
I don’t like country, myself, but in a large genre like that, I am absolutely confident that you can find artists of any political position.

You mean this stuff
Don’t expect it to go anywhere anytime soon. It, sadly, seems to be one of the most popular and probably most profitable genre going right now. As others have said, the others still exist, but you gotta dive deeper. I have hated whatever this country music is forever now.
There’s also the part where it all sounds the same because Nashville has figured out some sort of algorithm to sell music.
You can’t tell these are all different songs.
tells hard stories about real life.
Don’t forget the leftist country music tradition with songs about class warfare.
My son really likes Colter Wall. He has a fun song about a coyote.
Those bands are out there, but you won’t see them in the mainstream right now. Check out the Devil Makes Three—sounds like they could be up your alley.
Check out the Wood Brothers, Watchtower, Lost Dog Street Band. There’s country music that isn’t hyper produced Pepsi commercials. Americana/ Alt Country is what to search for.
Can’t vouch for the subgenre as a whole, but it sounds like Alt. Country/Americana largely contains stuff you’d like.
Imo music is currently in a cool spot where every genre is viable and people always taking influence in a certain saound and making it their own. I don’t really think any genre need a resurgence. You just listen and enjoy what you like.
Get outta here with your respect and tolerance, sanity guy.
It also makes everything sound similar without creating defining albums of a genre. I might sound old, but to me, most new music has a pop shine to it, no matter the genre.
Everything in the mainstream goes through Pro Tools for post-prod, so the fit and finish is pretty homogeneous regardless of genre.
Best take
I used to say “indie rock that isn’t bland pop music” but then Will Wood came along
My producer, Neigsendoig, and I both want bossa nova to have a resurgence. Neigsendoig had already produced several bossa nova compositions (you can find them on his YouTube channel, [at]Neigsendoig).
That’s the same vein as happy hardcore, which Neigsendoig also produced too. I’m producing a continuation of his HHC album, The VST Test, per his request.
Dave Rogers tried to bring it back at one point too, he released bossa nova versions of some of his most popular songs but I don’t think they took off as well as they should’ve
I would love a new wave of happy hardcore.
Neigsendoig and I are trying to bring it back. Sendo (Neigsendoig) even considered DJing a set in VRChat with some HHC group, though we’re very limited in how we can do that.
Where’s my 4th wave of ska??
Last I heard, Gwen Stefani had custody of it 🤷🏻
Swing!!! I don’t mind jazz with quirky time signatures, but where’s the dance gone?
I’m with the other comment, Electro Swing is very popular. If you’ve ever got the chance to go to a Parov Stelar concert don’t even think about not going! Top 5 concerts I’ve ever seen easily.
I’ve listened to a bunch of Caravan Palace, and I’m sure Parov Stelar is in some playlists. I never thought about going to a gig, I do a bunch of Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox, but they’re general jazz.
Edit, I’ve got All Night- Parov Stelar in my favourites.
Fortunately due to living in Belgium I’m in close proximity to some of the best festivals in the world. I saw them supported by a live orchestra at Dour Festival. But it was very similar to this performance a year later!
Electro swing is now (still) a thing. It’s out there on the internet. As with most of these genres based on some manner of synthetic zeitgeist, be prepared to be exposed to a lot of anime tiddies in the artwork, though.
Great choice. Big Band in general would be nice, too.
Tang-era Sogdian dance music.
Buffa and other comic opera. More dumb plots, less experimental music!
Do wop
Dubstep. Like, the kind that was super popular in 2010. It’ll probably be another 15 or 20 years before it’s sufficiently forgotten that the kids can properly rediscover it.
One new artist I like who produces with this type of sound is YDG
Dominican street preacher power electronics
Rock in the west! I don’t mind Japanese though. Jrock is huge right now. Japan picked up what the US dropped and left on the floor. Currently listening to LiSA. Listened to the new Survive Said the Prophet earlier. ONE OK ROCK and The Sixth Lie are my usual go to. And my second favorite singer is ReoNa (behind Enya who is Irish).
Ska. It’s been way too long since the last Reel Big Fish album.
And goldfingers music: “Here I ammm, doin everything thing I cann, pretending I’m a super maaaann!”
There’s plenty of 4th wave going on right now. Plus RBF ain’t coning back, Aaron got weird. I’m pretty sure he went the way of Dicky Barrett.
God I hope not. That was a massive disappointment as it was.
Jazz
Jazz never left.
There’s some great modern jazz coming out of Japan these days. Check out the likes of:
- Hiromi Uehara (and the Trio Project)
- Takuya Kuroda
- Sinsuke Fujieda Group
Also, UK too, check out the Ezra Collective.
Plenty of modern jazz out there, it’s just not mainstream anymore.
Nu-metal & Nu-rave purely to see what they call it
Linkin Park is back, I expect a lot of nu-metal type stuff to come out soon
