Question:
Classical music from centuries ago is still popular with many. Will rock music be popular in 300 years?
Answers: Bill.
I think so. It would be tragic it weren't. Music encapsulates the moods of the time and it is also a record of things that happened during the last 50 odd years. I look at what my kids are listening to and find it surprising that they are listening to music that was written even before my time. My son's collection is particularly impressive and includes artists like Bo Diddly, Frank Sinatra, Elvis, Chuck Berry, The Inkspots, psychedelic stuff from the 60's and 70's and the current types of music from R&B to Death Metal. So, yes, it is quite possible that in 300 years the more memorable music of 1900 to 2007 will be studied and enjoyed... that is if we have not destroyed the planet by then. Magic 8 ball says yes.
Think of all the classical music we heard in old cartoons.
I was so surprised when our MUZAK (elevator music) started playing Layla!!! I believe what is commonly referred to as classic rock will survive, the rest will fade into oblivion. I'm sure not all classical music has survived just not not all rock music will. People will continue to enjoy what they consider to be the best of it and the rest will fade away. I have to agree with some of the others. Some
will and some will not.
