As to what the next big thing will be, who knows. Listeners will know it and follow it when they recognise/need it. My OH is currently in two bands playing forms of blues - one very upbeat and the other a very hard, raw, angry sound. Both are enjoying a modicum of success locally. That may be something to do with the economic climate. Whether it's the next big sound, we can't say.

I think it's almost certain someone somewhere was asking the same question maybe 70 years ago. I remember discussions on the radio about it 40 years ago where people were saying that surely almost all combinations of notes have been used and soon we'll run out of tunes. I have also heard there are so many combinations available we may have only just scratched the surface. I expect that same question will still be asked in 50 years from now
