Big band sounds and country music went through constant evolution during the 30s and 40s, along with the fads of jazz, boogie-woogie, etc, then faded.
The just-pre-rock'n-roll bop sound only lasted 6-7 years with old Hank Williams- Hank Snow - Hank Thompson style country music.
Then Rock and Roll [original] came and faded with the English group. Continued the evolve, fade, evolve, fade cycle alongside various other music genre.
But Rap has remained essentially unchanged since it began in the 1980s. Kids are listening to the same music genre their parents listened to when they were the same age, and liking it as though it was something they invented.
Seems to me that says something meaningful about something, but I haven't a clue what it might be.
Any ideas?
