There are really two or three issues here. I hope that I am open minded
enough to listen to whatever new forms of music are created and I hope that
at least some of the music I listen to today will still be listenable.
I think a sign of a good artist is if their music still sounds fresh after
several years. If their music isn't so tied to a particular technology that
when the world moves on to new technologies their music sounds dated. One of
the reasons I like idm is the (possibly unfounded) belief that I will still
want to listen to some of this stuff on occasion ten or twenty years down
the line. That at least some of the music is innovative and original enough
that it will still grab my attention even when I'm older.
