Current Music Styles & Trends

The evolution of the music industry has been growing ever since the 90s era, revolutionary bands like Nirvana, Green Day, and Pearl Jam have made a name in genres like grunge rock, punk rock, and alternative rock. The sound of music has also evolved, whether it is electronic music, pop, rock or metal, the sound itself is new to the ears ever since. Genres like dubstep and trap, work of subtle wobble and hats, have made the listener engaged in the growing community. Nu-metal has also caught some ears with bands like Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, and Linkin Park. Engaging rap-rock with heavy distortion has made people scream to cheer for their favorite artist, but now we are in the 2024 era of experimental music. 808 beats with meaningful lyrics have made it to background score industry, jazz music is also taken a form of electronics and classical influences.


The modern music industry has no barriers, artists are collaborating from around the world to discover their art and the true meaning of music. Indian classical music with Western influences and modern technology has made a huge impact on the sound of music. Digital technology is also as remarkable as analog sound. An artist can make music from their home with minimal gears and still can make the audience go encore. Indie artists are also getting as much recognition as pop bands like Coldplay or Taylor Swift. It doesn't matter how new your band is, if you sound good on your record 'Bingo' you are the new hype. People will love you and cheer for you. Digital media platforms like Beat port & Spotify have made a huge impact in promoting new artists and new sounds. The new era of music is as simple as calling your friends and arranging a jam because you just discovered a new riff, and you want your friends to listen to it. It has no limitations and no barriers; it is as free as a bird.
