Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Sure.  I listen to a lot of current music.

The first group that bwar named in this thread is a "current" band.

Who?

Like all genres and all eras, "current" music has plenty of good and plenty of bad.

If you're ACTUALLY interested, there's this thing called "google" where you can ask for current bands that sound similar to one you like.

So, if you like, say, Led Zeppelin, it would suggest some current bands that you might like that are similar.

And if you like Depeche Mode, I'm fairly certain it will suggest Muse.

She's making music that is topping the charts and she's setting tour dates that are breaking world records.  Not sure how much more "current" you can be.

"Current" and "brand new" are not the same thing.

We've discussed this a lot here over the years.  The rate of change/innovation in music has been rapid over the past century+, and it seems to be driven as much or more by technological advancement, as by generational musical taste.

But that same rate of change has also slowed dramatically over the past 30 years or so.  Once synthesizers, digital recording, and digital playback, all matured, there's been little technological development to drive any further change, and music has sort of settled out over that time. 

So I'm not sure what music will sound like 50 years from now, or even 30 years from now, but I think if you'd told me in 1995 that music in 2025 wouldn't sound fundamentally different, I'd have been a little surprised.   Because the music from 1965 sounded VERY different than what was being recorded and performed in the mid 90s.

I like the Who and the Guess Who

On first base.

Interesting point, I wonder if AI somehow will be more creative than humans?  Before it kills us all?

Ha!

That was my next thought (not the killing part, no sense in worrying about the inevitable).

But will artists start to use AI to make new, "weird" sounds that have never been made before?  And will that become the next evolution of music?  Will people like it just because it's different?  Will old people like me hate it just because it's different?
