What genre of music should make a comeback?

I wouldn't mind a punk and grunge revival. Punk isn't what it used to be like it was in the late 70's and early 80's, and I feel grunge died off too soon.

In terms of something that could actually take off...disco. With the popularity of clubs today, people could be shaking their groove thangs all over again.

Disco-- just for the lulz.

3 discos and one grunge. Sorry, TC. You lose.

Swing... for sure.

Funny, I was just thinking this because I just replied to a thread on the PC forum as someone linked this. I think it's a sign. +1 for disco.

Swing... for sure.

Disco is very much alive and kicking, both in nu-disco re-edits and traditional disco spearheaded by the lads of:

....so I say skiffle :P

More reason for it to come back again!

industrial. because sadly it's turned into techno.

Swing is very much here as well under the guise of Electoswing.

Personally I don't care for it much

19th century music.

Well 1st generation industrial was fairly electronic in roots I suppose. 2nd gen/post industrial Young Gods/Ministry/etc I guess is something we don't see as much of these days...

Shoegaze, or perhaps Progressive. Despite the pretentious name, Prog has some amazing bands. Mainstream wise though it hasn't been big since the 70's.

of course. i'm talking about this new age of processed club stuff we have come to call "industrial" for whatever reason. people like Faderhead, [x]-rx, eisenfunk, noisuf-x, and Komor Kommando to name a few. i miss the days of real experimentation in the genre.

Howabout rock and roll. Not this linkin park and rise against BS. I want the raw rock and roll like GNR brought in the late 80's.

Prog rock also. Genesis is one of my favorite bands (Gabriel era). I would love to see a prog revival.

Ghettotech

Ah I've no idea about modern industrial. Kind of lost interest back in the 90s for me. It's true we don't see so much in the way of ye olde stuff though, or at least nothing's caught my eye recently.

I will however chuck in the new(ish) Youn Gods album Everybody Knows, which whilst I personally like it the main critisism I read was that it was perhaps too 'stuck in the past'.

Need more bands like THIS

Very few bands have that old type sound to them

Swing... for sure.

joesh89

it's sort of back with electro swing, which is pretty neat.

I'd like to see trip-hop come back, but idk if it was ever really in so it would be nice to see more people listen to it.

Luckily, Imelda May has helped make 50s style rock/rockabilly a bit more popular again.

Genuine country music. There is absolutely nothing that I have liked over the past 10-20 years.

OP, Grunge is NOT a genre. It was a term made up by the media to label all the bands coming out of Seattle in the late 80's and early 90's. Nirvana was punk, Pearl Jam was Alternative, Alice in Chains was metal etc...So anyway to answer your question, I say that Punk rock should make a comeback but it won't ever happen. Nirvana was punks final hurrah

With that argument punk is not a genre, being traditionally retrospective 3-chord rock in nature and given the term by whatever journalist (can't recall who) sometime in the early 70s if I recall.

EDIT: Dave Marsh in 1971 coined it...

Disco is still alive in house and electro. =P No one read my thread >=(

I'm going to say the quality of trance from about 2000-2004 should make a come back.

Unfortunately not, seeing as it's not a metal thread :(

Romantic?

As in New Romantisism?

That would be good to bring back. Bring back dressing up and dust off Marylin, Steve Strange et al. We need a little more flambouyancy out there!

EDIT: No, you didn't mean that at all did you.

I also would say disco just because it would be funny.

You haven't been looking hard enough.

Disco.

Industrial metal/rock.

I love(d) the band Orgy.

if you want punk like misfits style id look into murderdolls or wednesday 13. and i epicly facepalm at the guy who said "nu-disco". but no some new disco artists would take out see how mullets and such seem to be in style again (lawl wut?) alot of dubsteb and techno is taking off now as well.anything new would work but disco may hit the biggest

What hasnt been revived? Everyone is kind of doing the whole "new wave, post punk revival" thing, which came off the back of punk rock to begin with.

New WAVE FTW!

Motown!

Smooth voices, catchy music, excellent lyrics, and easy to listen to!
