A friend and I were talking, several years back, about the sense that many people end up liking things their parents actively disliked -- to the point of inventing new types of music their parents rarely consider music in the first place, from bebop to rock'n'roll to rap to "glitch."
Considering this friend and I both listen to a broad range of music, we wondered what might come around in the future that we wouldn't like but their our (hypoetherical) kids would like. What would such a new genre sound like?
The scariest thing we could come up with is that our kids, and their generation, simply wouldn't be interested in music at all.
