The oldest Gen Z is 29 now,
The oldest Gen A is 17.
What kind of music do we think Gen A will be making during their coming of age in the next few years? And now that Gen Z is leaving behind their years of peak creativity what did we think of their musical run?

I'm fucking tired of everything being about generations. They were literally made up by marketing companies to sell us things. I can't believe how big of a thing they are now and how many people make it a genuine part of their personality, it drives me insane

Still useful to categorise groups of people and understand them.

>>129798753
People with autism tend to want to categorize things whether it's warranted or not, which is why generational shit is so prevalent on the internet

>What is this stupid fucking image
Modern generational categories are the product of overpaid marketing grads artistically compartmentalizing people into neat, easy categories so as to more easily sell them useless crap.

>>129798753
>how many people make it a genuine part of their personality
It's like homosexuality. If someone makes being a Gen Zed or a Gen X or a Baby Boomer or whatever a serious part of their identity, they have literally nothing else going for them that their age range is something they're genuinely proud of.

Gen X had better music than Millennials did
Gen Z also had better music than Millennials did
Millennials just can't stop losing, but maybe Gen As music will be worse so they can get a win

Nope. Here are the official generational brackets:

>Lost generation: c. 1880's - 1904
>WWII generation: 1905 - 1924
>Silent generation: 1925 - 1944
>Baby Boomers: 1945 - 1964
>Gen-X: 1965 - 1981
>Millennials: 1982 - 2001
>Zoomers: 2002 - 2021
>'Gen-A'/Generation Alpha: 2022 - present

Therefore, the oldest zoomers are 24, and the oldest alphas are 4.

>>129799041
good bait

>>129798902
Literally the biggest genre for millennials was the whole umbrella of EDM, it influenced everything and resulted in tons of happy, upbeat and fun pop tracks. Gen Z is depressing shit in comparison.

If we judge this in terms of target public rather than the age of the music makers, then millennial music included:

The Strokes
White Stripes
Arctic Monkeys
The Last Shadow Puppets
Vampire Weekend
Davendra Barnhart
Neutral Milk Hotel
Atmosphere
Simian Mobile Disco
Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros
Peter Bjorn and John
Black Kids
Crystal Castles
The Faint
electroclash (Miss Kittin, Soviet, Fischerspooner)
Oneohtrix Point Never
hypnagogic pop
vaporwave
Interpol
Toro y Moi
The XX
MGMT
Metronomy
M.I.A.
Jai Paul
M83
Birdy Nam Nam
Nicolas Jaar
The Knife
Hot Chip
La Roux
>>
>>129802349
you forgot deadmau5
>>
>>129802354
I'd also include some of the 00s stuff

God Lives Underwater
The Walkmen
Skrillex
Linkin Park
Frankmusik
Architecture in Helsinki
Klaxons

Then there's of course a lot of pop/mainstream stuff I haven't included, some of it occasionally ok.
>>
>>129802410
Like I didn't mention The Killers, which straddles this space between mainstream and niche/indie scenes
>>
>>129802349
If you think about it, the creative force behind Bilie Eilish is her millennial bro, even though their public is mostly zoomers

Also bands like Idles, King Gizzard, they're late millennials
>>
Never understood these generation wars. People have made good music in every single modern generation. Judging from the replies here though, this board doesn't know shit about music. Cameron Winter? Arctic Monkeys? Absolute garbage and super boring mainstream.
>>
>>129802349
Half of this list is faggy as fuck

Gen A will be a bit of a mess culturally.
Here's your trends/pressure centers:

>aging society and smaller demographic weight meaning the dominant artists continue to skew nostalgic

>increasing prevalence of AI art eating the middle 50% of "mid" art - this may/will incentive artists and consumers to some kind of "authenticity" or walled garden communities

>Millennial nostalgia

>continued social atomisation and frustration with IoE and tech prevalence leading to veneration of rustic/lo-fi culture (think repeat of 2012 millennial hipsterism) and community anchored culture (like millennial hipsterism this will probably end up more culturally visible than it will be a sincere lifestyle mode) - Zoomers have already presaged this backlash with the mass popularisation of alts/burners as a lifestyle choice and the fact anxiety towards the social media panopitcon is so legibile in zoomer culture means that anxiety will be reacted to in some way

>Cultural atomisation will continue, aided by AI which can increasingly generate tailored content, meaning the commons shrink and content platforms prioritise engagement over fashion, so nostalgia acts will continue to rattle around with increased relevancy like they do now - the fact nostalgia acts also provide more "training data", as well as increased visibility, means you're going to be swamped with a billion robot Paul McCartneys for every Jeff Rosenstock sound-a-like output.

electronic music was shit by 2009, it peaked in the 90s
>>
>>129802349
holy shit didn't know that millennial music was this awful but seeing it all listed together. Music died with Gen X
>>
>>129802349
>>129802410
You just listed a bunch of Gen X bands that happened to be popular with millennials
>>
>>129802349
target age doesn't matter also there's way better examples then that most of that stuff. Saetia, The Fall Of Troy, most of the 2010s Hip Hop scene. Comb through it.

>>129809515
It's mixed if you actually knew what they were.

Millennials have Joanna Newsom, Julia Holter, and SOPHIE(rip).

>>129798814
Soillennials have to be the most pathetic generation to ever exist. Utterly impotent disrespected by all who came before and after them.
