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.
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.
Punk, or rather, any genre that will allow younger generations to express any political views. Yes we have Bob Vylan, but this type of bands should be more mainstream (either that or I have lost touch, which I will not deny).
Recently caught “grandson” live. Bob Vylan was supposed to be their touring partner but then… facism. They’re not traditional punk in their sound but carry a lot of those ethos lyrically. The more recent stuff is like modern rage against the machine (and the show felt like those did way back)
Anyways, it was really inspiring to see a new generation embracing those ideas and sharing in them communally.
Folk Punk is where it’s at right now. There’s a band named “Doom Scroll” that is quite excellent.
Trip-hop
Why hello fellow forty-something.
Me too!
Metal. Actual heavy metal. Not eyeliner and painted nails metal. I guess it was never really mainstream so maybe not a resurgence.
I thought metal was more popular than ever. Maybe my perception is skewed because I've been going to plenty of metal festivals in recent years, but all the subgenres have representation from what I can see.
I think metal's still going strong, but OP said heavy metal. If they meant classic heavy metal, there's not many new artists doing that.
The blues
That would be so excellent! I became a fan of the blues going out to clubs: the rock bands would crank volume to painful levels and mumble the lyrics, but I could actually hear the blues, listen to the blues, grow to like the blues
Grunge
Swing!!! I don't mind jazz with quirky time signatures, but where's the dance gone?
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.
Jazz
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.
Edit - forgot about Ibrahim Maalouf. Dude is incredible on the trumpet. Between him and Kuroda, trumpet jazz is alive and well.
Tang-era Sogdian dance music.
Anti facist punk
Late-90s/early-00s-style lo-fi indiepop with glockenspiels/Casio keyboards (or similar cheapass-sounding synths with a nicely skronky/angular timbre) and the odd trumpet/brass section
I might like some bluegrass. Iron Horse is a bunch of middle-aged white guys that cover Metallica. Well, that's where they started, but they've expanded.
Creeping Death sounds like something you'd hear in a one-room Kentucky church. Enter Sandman is delightful.
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).
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
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.
Disco
Symphonic "Electronic" music
Dominican street preacher power electronics
Every genre is deeply connected to the time it appeared and the events that shaped it.
I don't expect punk rock to have a resurgence any more than I expect disco music to come back. They had their time and function. They will influence new things to come as did all the stuff that came before.
Having said that, I expect everything will become a mishmash of AI slop, so who knows?
