'Musicians can't be clones or copycats'

What are some genres that you think will become popular in the near future?
K-pop is an example of a genre doing well right now. It is climbing up the charts in America and picking up globally as well. So, I think the next genres to keep an eye on will be those that are picking up in the Asian and Latin American markets.

How would you describe "pop music" as the term stands today?
Pop music used to have a set format structurally and musically, but because of the Internet and services like Spotify, people have been exposed to more abstract genres and created markets where they are connecting to niche sounds and artistes. So, for artistes to have a lasting career in today's music industry, they need to experiment and create a sound that is different to what other people are doing, so that they don't become clones or copycats.
