I think we are starting to run out already. Have you not noticed how many remakes there are these days?

music doesn't seem to have changed much since the late 80s when dance music evolved from funk and electronic music and rock bands started flirting with it. i remember seeing some graffiti in 1984, 'hip hop forever', ironically it seems to be true, but it was fresh and original then, it has now become a stale, exploitative money making machine. the only hip hop artiste who seems fresh and original is Missy Elliot. admittedly i don't listen to a lot of hip hop now, but i used to but got gradually turned of f by the endless sampling and egotistical lyrics. indie, well there are some good tunes but I'm always struggling to remember where i heard them first. the other day i was listening to a song on the radio and i thought it was spandau ballet, it turned out to be the editors. i suppose I'm a bit grumpy about this because i was used to music and fashion changing radically every 5 to 10 years. nothing much has changed for nearly 20 years now. perhaps we're on the edge of change now, but some how i doubt it.

I think it's all tweaking these days.
Seems like the themes of love, deceit, alienation, subculture expression, political/environmental concerns, faith, holiday magic, fate, etc. just keep repeating. Like there are no more original thoughts...about the human condition.
Still, voices speak to generations and words can capture us. My thoughts get caught up in lyrics many times. There is comfort in the idea that someone else experiences our joy and pain. So while these songs might not seem fresh in theme, there is something new about them and the experiences we connect them to. We make them new in how we connect.

I hope not. But given the track record of music and it's constant evolution, I think it will just keep growing and ever changing. From bluegrass to country, to country rock, to alternative, to metal, it flows, ebbs, and weaves in and out of itself constantly.

I've always thought, yes, there are only SO many musical chords, right?
But more and more new artists are taking the old songs and remaking them...so, I suppose music can be remade and remade.....

no cause people find way to alter the same song so they will not get caught doing the same song
