[quote="joannajewsom"]Some genres that will form in the next decade:
Experimental Girl Group
Math Rap
Gangsta Singer/Songwriter
Tweemo
Tweegaze-- bands so cute that they don't even have to play music; fans pay to gaze at them for 45-50 minutes.
Easy-Listening Harsh Noise
Ragtime Metal
Garage Jazz
Avant-Punk
Post-Music
and finally...the world will implode when the first acappella instrumental song is created. This decade will be interesting.[/quote]
When I think twee pop, emo isn't far behind; Kenny G will make your ears bleed (maybe your brain, I can't tell) for being easy listening; when I think garage jazz, I think John Zorn; Avant-punk is probably the same as art-punk, which is the best punk, and has been around for awhile; and Metal Machine Music already established the post-music genre.
In summary, it looks like the end of the world is closer than you would think; let's just hope Kirk Hammet doesn't learn how to play piano and Kanye West doesn't pick up an acoustic guitar. You might as well start buying you're bottled water and canned beans now...

Other genres:
Reggae Post-Punk
Power Folk Rock
Neo Indie Pop
Post-Singer-Songwriter
Folk R & B
Lounge Punk
Other predictions:
- Chris Martin will bring in Gywenth to do a duet. Write your own conclusion.
- Taylor Swift will interupt Kanye on stage at the next awards ceremony. It will continue to happen each year until Thom Yorke accidently gets involved.
- The debate over the most influential band will continue - Beatles or Radiohead.
- Chris Cornell will team up with Madonna for a covers album.
- Gorillaz will be revealed as a real band and Damon Albarn exposed as a fictional character created by 2D and Murdoc.

I think jewsom's "post-music" is still the most awesome genre, and by most awesome genre I mean Metal Machine Music is the most awesome album (I should probably add that to my incredibly expansive chart).
And I just realized, and I'm hope it was mentioned in that thread, why the hell IS it Beatles vs. Radiohead? I would think VU would be a little more up to the challenge. Who started that thread anyway?

Yeah, VU and the Beatles is usually the convo. VU is the right answer, by the way.

What are we talking about? Influentialness? If so, that's a silly argument. The Beatles and The VU are equally influential and important in different ways and to different genres of popular music. In fact, a lot of bands I like, I'd argue, were influenced in some way by both. Indie rock and alternative and yes, punk, Purple, were influenced by both. (Tell me the Ramones didn't listen to the Beatles, and clearly The Jam and The Buzzcocks and probably the Clash did.) To me, pitting the Velvet Underground against The Beatles is a classic hipster argument. You can argue which was better, but it's totally subjective and based on personal taste and about drawing a cooler than thou line in the sand. Personally, I revere both of them. As far as the basis of that thread goes, I've explained it pretty thoroughly, including in my my most recent post. It looks like Rolling Stone has vindicated me, for whatever that's worth. Yes, I know RS sucks, but I'll take it anyway.
Now, music of the 2010's.... JJ's combination genres made me laugh.  It does seem like the only innovations come from cross-pollination of already existing genres.
I predict I will be less and less interested in newer music, unless there's some really exciting new band, which there probably will be eventually, I suppose.
Music often comes as a reaction to the government establishment and societal times. So with that in mind, I predict a sort of conservative punk rock-- angry songs about rising taxes and the supposed rise of socialism and tea bags and maintaining Cadillac health plans, and restoring the moral values to our society sung by crooners like Pat Boone (That's right. The crooner is coming back, and it will be hip to be square) and clean-cut country singers--either that or Toby Keith. Take your pick.
