What music genre's will be established in the Early part of the 2020s? I was hoping that Electro Swing will at least be a dominate genre by 2020 or 2021 but maybe not. Maybe a new genre with a mix of Vapor wave and Electro Swing. Dubstep was one of the top genre's of the Early 10s so I was thinking maybe a new EDM genre replacing Tropical house by the Early 20s.

Vaporwave and Electro-swing are Millennial-dominated, so I think it's safe to say that something like that won't be big in the 2020s.

Bedroom Pop

R&B?

R&B?

A new style of R&B maybe but not sure.

Country Rap/Trap (Hick Hop)

I hope it is unique to 2019 to be honest. "Old Town Road" is easily the peak of the genre, so let's leave it to that ;D

Bedroom Pop


This. Bedroom pop and lo-fi basically dominate YouTube, and one of these is going to get big and onto the radio. I mean, boy pablo went from being an unknown on YouTube until the algorithm put them in the spotlight, and now their songs have tens of millions of streams on Spotify.

Now that’s something I can get behind.

Bedroom Pop

Seems like to the go-to style of underground music for teenagers, and it's getting more traction.

As a fake indie girl, it would make me VERY happy if bedroom pop ever became mainstream but honestly it seems like it peaked in late 2017-early 2018 and just kinda stagnated after that.

New style of EDM to replace Tropical House.

Cosmic Country & Hick Hop replacing Bro Country.

Bedroom Pop may last until the second half of the '20s.

That is such a strange sounding song. I never heard anything like this.

Please not Vaporwave.... Electro Swing on the other hand, YES! PLEASE YES!

Lo-Fi? Please no... I've heard enough of that genre. That's a 2010s genre, not a genre of the future... it was popular all decade long especially on YouTube. It sounds similar to trap and sounds like nothing new, very boring. We need a fresh NEW sound. The only time I heard electro swing was on one or two videos on YouTube a couple years ago and they were only a couple mixes.. Now this is a new genre that has potential.

I like lofi because of how it eschews electronics. I thought that’s what all you ‘10s haters wanted anyway, music that returned to using real instruments and organic sounds over artificiality and auto tuning.

We also want to hear something new!

95% of Lo-fi pop music made in the last decade is made by using a drum machine VST or chopping up drum samples. Computers are at the absolute center of music production for the past 15 years. I don't see what's wrong with that though.

Bet you $1,000 that in three years from now when we are deep into whatever the new thing of the 2020s is, you're going to be making the exact same complaint endlessly, ad nauseam.

Lol maybe but I'll probably say "Come on guys it's the '20s! Can't you come up with something better?".

The genres that late Zers and Alphas are still enjoying right now will be on their last legs in 2021 or 2022.

And rightfully so. I will also complain if mainstream music doesn't get better.

Lo-Fi doesn't use real instruments it is made using productions software...

A more mainstream version of future funk is the only version of vaporwave I see getting popular. The Vaporwave scene these days is super stunted and overly pretentious.

I'm not a country music lover but I can see country hip hop/r&b actually becoming a big thing. The Git Up is a great example of something fresh, accessible, fun, and can be followed by others.

I actually really like that vaporwave has stayed super underground, and I hope it’ll stay that way.
