You said it, ppl aren't ready for that deep ethnic stuff just yet. Anytime they play Joanna down here, you can tell non African ppl "like" it. They've heard it enough to know the song and the chorus. Especially when everyone's drunk and feeling good. You can tell they "want" to like it. But DJ usually doesn't go too deep. And why would he/she? The shifting popularity of genres has to happen organically. Afro beats is still in it's "Feelin Out" phase. Everyone's kinda feelin it out.

We're way passed the feel out phase. I dont expect anyone past the tristate area to be fully immersed in the scene like us and thanks to carnival you have folks form London to Toronto to Boston to New York and Miami trading the same crates of music so we gets ours extra fast. Check the music i posted below, this is what we had going EARLIER this summer and i know we're off of this stuff now because folks still trying to digest burna boys new album that dropped in July and rema dropping a back to back EP.

The worlds biggest music artist will be a damn computer that will make music on it's own without the help of a human being. It will go from being a laptop to actually having a body built by a robotic engineer and will even perform dance moves with human background dancers at live shows

You're not wrong. This already happens, but I imagine it would be more classical non brassy music. AI and machine learning is a real thing, the time it takes for a human to learn by experiencing and learning all the different forms if music may not be possible in one life time, but a machine may take 2 days to scan all archived music and produce new music.

Awful like most things mainstream.

This ^^^^

The 2010 decade was mostly nothing but a bunch of mediocre and trash ass music. Mainstream music has been garbage over the last 15 years though. I don't what the 2020 decade is going to put out but hopefully it's a serious improvement from the music that was put out b/c none of the shyt from the mid 00's to now will be remembered.

You'll get more of the same.

The music business is run by mathematical algorithms that know what people want and everything is filtered through this process for the greatest return on capital employed. The rest of the low budget "flava" is just there as a side dish to try and hide the monotony.

As long as the average listener remains basic in taste and frame don't expect anything to change.
