Why? What world events will happen that will start Armageddon,in your opinion?

DVDs will soon be the new pick as well as CDs.
cassette tapes will be a thing of the past
IPods will be the hot new item
telephone booths will be phased out completely cause cell phones will be a requirement for just about everyone.

-Jazz finds new popularity, entering the mainstream.

-Batman Begins and Star Wars Ep.III are the two biggest movies of the year, with Batmania and Star Wars-mania lasting throughout the whole year.

-Joe Biden gets Democratic nomination, Mitt Romney gets Republican nomination. Biden is elected 59% to 35%. 3rd part candidates(Green part and Libertarian) garner the other 6 percent of the vote.

No cultural predictions for this year.


2009

-Joe Biden takes office as the 44th President of the U.S. He introduces reforms to the tax code, welfare, social security, and medicaid.

He also streamlines the military budget.

-The economy shows signs of recovery.

-In a controversial move, President Biden joins the ICC.

-Major advancements made in genetic medicine.

-ABC, NBC, and CBS all cancel their evening news as blogs and other internet news venues take their place.



Some of these are more probable than others, some are my own wishes.

I can't quite predict the nest 4 years, but I'm fearful that the boy-band craze will make a comeback in 2009 with different groups.

1989 = New Kids On the Block
1999 = NSYNC and Backstreet Boys, etc.
2009 = ????  The Half-Naked Gimme Gimme Boeiyzzs???

Seriously, boy band music can be OK, but I don't want it to go out of control like it did 5 or 6 years ago.


*Actually, I thought of a new prediction:  Since George W. Bush is talking about changing the constitution to give certain rights to SOME people(not all), he might change it again to allow a presidency to last 3(or more) terms!

Then he'd continue changing it and changing it until we don't have an America anymore..

Then he'd continue changing it and changing it until we don't have an America anymore..


Until... Ha.. try already

Here is a more personal, but it does have some pop culture to it too.

Elementary school burns down (2008).


Choir teacher retires after 40 years of teaching. (2009)  Last musical will be "Camelot."

Carly Michelle, a old friend of my, will come back (2005-2006).  She moved in 1999.  :)

Mr. Halverson will remember his pants.  (2005)  ;D


No Secrets will release second album (2006-2009).    :)

Teletubbies is canceled.  :) :) :) (2007).

The Powerpuff Girls will have a second movie and the show will be canceled.  (2006)

Band director (Mr. Halverson) will go through a concert with forgetting his pants, switching songs, etc.  (2007)

Barney will be gone!!!!! (2006)  Are you happy!

Sesame Street will finally end after 50 years of Bert and Ernie.  (2009).

Coty Kremer moves away.  (2007).

Sesame Street will finally end after 50 years of Bert and Ernie.  (2009).

Well,that might happen.It seems that Bert and Ernie never get old.I wonder how old they are? ;D

I'm kinda late on this but what kinda sick person are u Elvis to wish that other ppl kill each other. By the comment you made on wishing the rappers will kill each other one by one and you being happy about it was offensive . If you dont like the music crawl in a shell and stay in the 20th Century .

I think 60's, 70's, 80's and a bit of the 90's music will be fashionable again :) :) :)

I prefer rock music from the 2000's, but I also like some pop music.

In 2006 I'll graduate from High School.

In 2009 I'll be at University and meet my-all-life-love!!!!! :-*

Condeleeza Rice faces Hillary Clinton in a celebrity boxing match- Rice knocks her out in first round
Hollywood realizes thay live in a fantasy world and since telling lies for a living is what they do,  they decide to stay out of real world politics (again wishful thinking)
Hillary shows interet in running for President but a scandal breaks about what she was doing while Monica was doing Bill. Seems it was a menage-a-trois gone bad- videos of it sell fast. Anyway the Republicans have her record as "another" liberal and she is not nominated for their last great hope for the Oral uh I mean Oval office.
Robert Redford and Alec Baldwin actually move to Switzerland!, Springsteen tours the red states and no one shows up, The Dixie Chix have to work at a Texas strip club near Crawford, Texas, Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon doanate their bodies for stem cell research, Okay okay wishful thinking again.

2005 - Michael Jackson WILL be proven to be innocent of ALL charges against him (only because he is innocent, really)
        - Britney will have a baby
        - no one will buy video's anymore, everyone will own dvds.

The U.S. Congress will do away with their tradtional method of counting votes on bills numerically. Instead a huge decibel meter will be installed on the back wall of the House and Senate chambers. When it comes time to vote on a bill, all those voting in favor will scream at the top of their lungs and clap their hands and bang their shoes agains their desks for 30 seconds to try and make the decibel meter go as high as possible. Those voting against will then have their turn, and whichever side can make the decibel meter go highest wins the vote.

Gangsta rap finally goes away
Rock bands similar to the 1960s-70s makes a comeback
Unfortunately emo punk will be still be around
Reality tv dies forever!  Good old-fasioned sit-coms makes a comeback.
Another  devestating terrorist attack will occur in the world somewhere (Most likely here in the U.S. or Europe)
Disney will go back to making classic animated movies
Powerful storms continue to rock the world
Iraq becomes a stabalized country
Saddam Hussein is put to death
Osama Bin Laden is either captured or killed
Scientists discover more cures for major diseases
3D copy machines will debut
Holographic images become popular
Practically everything is digital and wireless
Cds begin to disappear

Before this decade ends there will be a WOMAN President in the White House.

DVD start to die a slow death
Tivo starts to die
cars are rarely seen cause everyone will have SUV's and trucks
Yankees finally have a sub .500 season
Rockies win the World Series
No soap operas? Maurice Benard(my fave soap actor) would have to go looking for other acting work..no more Sonny Corinthos! :(

In 2008, the WWE goes bankrupt and all the wrestlers join the re-formed EC f'n W!!

Well 2005 is almost over so its not so hard to predict the next few months.

2006 - Kevin Federline releases a rap album, and Vanilla Ice tries to make a comeback. Superman Returns, X-Men 3, and Mission: Impossible 3 play in theaters. MC Hammer pants are back in style. The recession starts.

2007 - A new style of hip-hop starts, which combines rap and techno. With the economy, the unemployment and poverty levels are high.

2008 - More colorful clothes will be the trend and people will be looking like clowns. A Democrat gets elected president because of the poor economy.

2009 - The Democrat is sworn in. People look at how they dressed in 2005-09 and be like "What were we thinking?"

2010 - Grunge and the 90's styles come back.

In 2010 the "Jack" format at radio stations such as NYC's WCBS-FM will get the ax....and WCBS will go back to being the BEST oldies station on the East Coast.

It happened.   ::)
Wonder if November's prediction will occur.  :o

Predictions for 05-09

-NASCAR Driver Mark Martin wins the NEXTEL Championship in 05 in his last year of NExtel Cup Racing(he could do it.)

-The Sixers win a NBA Championship with Allen Iverson within the next few years.

-Hip Hop/R&B continues to dominate the charts.

-The New York Jets win their first Superbowl since 1969(it could happen.)

-Nissan/Infinti will be remebered as the car manufacturer of the 00's with their striking exterior designs(love them or hate them.)

-General Motors will continue to lose market share in the US auto market.

-Rock music will continue its decline on the charts. The charts have not been kind to rock music in this decade thus far.
Boy was i wrong Mark Martin and Allen Iverson haven;t won any champioships and I verson was traded from the 76ers to the Nuggests.

I was right on the R&B and Hip Hop prediction I think.

The Jets are not any winning Super Bowls this decade

General Motors has continued to lose market share.
