in terms of bands what genre is in at the moment or what ones are emerging. for example folks been wildly popular for a few years but will it fizzle out soon?
In slightly related news, I don't believe the lifetime of a genre determines its impact on music in general e.g. My Bloody Valentine's Loveless (shoegaze) or Portishead's Dummy (trip hop). I'm horrible with differentiating genres, so won't comment much further, but I will say subgeneres today tend to pop and die within a matter of months (/a couple of years) e.g. chillwave, vaporwave, etc.

I know. But there's a fine line between fad genres that are positively fetishized (trip-hop) and ones that are walking punchlines (nu metal).
Ugh. People who like Mumford and Sons and The Lumineers and Of Monsters And Men and all of them.
I remember hearing someone say just how original Mumford and Sons were and I could bearly hold back my deep amalgamating anger.
As far as I'm concerned pop and folk are on opposite ends of the spectrum, and should never mix. Ever.
