So what genre will be the next evolution of hip hop? (bands, hardcore)

[Cyrano941]

Hip Hop is over 32 years old now. I love it and I don't believe it is the end of it's shelf life but every generation is usually defined by a new genre that evolves from and rebels against the parent generation. In 80s there was Metal and Hip Hop. 70's Disco, Funk and Punk. 60's Classic Rock and Roll and Soul, 50's Doo Wop and Pop music etc...So what do you think will be the next evolution? Why is it taking so long? Is it already happening but has yet to reach mainstream? Your thoughts..

So what's metalcore? I'm assuming it's an evolution of Metal and what good bands in that area do you know of?

That's what's in-vogue. Well, at least it is in Chicago.

[shyangel]

yes, a mix of Electro-Pop, Dubstep, Trip-Hop Jazz for Hip Hop.

I think (hope) Dubstep is gonna become huge.

Dubstep, ick...

For hip-hip, I think it'll stay the same.

Rap, however, needs to have someone that can be considered real music first before it can be evolved from.

I'll be very happy the day Auto-Tune ceases to be popular. I cannot stand that voice-violating monster .

Metalcore is in fusion of Metal with Post-Hardcore. Bands like Avenged Sevenfold, Atreyu, All That Remains, and Asking Alexandria, for instance.

Example:
Avenged Sevenfold

YouTube - ‪Avenged Sevenfold - Beast And The Harlot (Video)‬‏

It's all ready becoming fairly mainstream.

I personally like it when used properly. There is only two mainstream artist that use it properly which are T-Pain (i.e. the originator) and Kesha. In the post-hardcore/"scene", I think it used really well.

Example:

YouTube - ‪I See Stars - "The Common Hours" Official Music Video‬‏

Though it won't ever go away since there are ton of artists who use it to make their pitch perfect and you never notice it going on since they turn off the distortion effect.

Yes, musical culture needs guys that brag about being the big badass in town, hold fistfuls of dollars, play dice in the street, show off their hot cars (with 16 inch wheels), brag about themselves, porky babes jiggling their butts, and guys that brag about themselves.
