I've been thinking about this again, and it occurs to me, an important aspect of our present and our visions of the future, is that we've gotten really good at holding onto the past -- in digital form -- and remixing it.
A lot of the music, movies, etc. of the last 50 years tend to be easy to access from anywhere at any time. And the tools to turn them into something new keep getting better. There's that MyHeritage thing that will bring old photographs "to life" like a Harry Potter magical portrait. There's a website that, through machine learning, "listened" to a bunch of death metal and generated a continuous mix of death-metal-simulacrum schlock.
Our future is made up of the past. But then thinking about it, maybe that was kind of always true... visions of space exploration were a lot like British colonists or American cowboy movies except in "the final frontier." The popular image of robots was just to replace human slaves, servants, laborers and soldiers ("robot" actually coming from the Czech word for "slave"). Arguably, even the Singularity or uploading ourselves to computers is kind of a rehash of ancient religious ideas of transcending our mortal bodies and living among godlike beings.
On another note, someone responded on a thread about "hauntology:"

The idea that novelty or "progress" in music is important - or even desirable - is itself largely a product of capitalism. Compare, for example, the mid-60s commercial singles market and any traditional culture w/music at its core.

i have your answer, the future is full of stepping frequencies at 2* over sampling. ridiculous. i'm "this close" to winding up all VA not by choice. it's because it's the only thing that behaves correctly.

I listened to a country station on my way home today. I stopped on it because I like "Toes," by the Zac Brown Band, but everything after it was so generic and formulaic. Even worse, it was clearly following the pop music formula--same choruses, chants, melodies, intonations, just with a singer with a southern twang and excessive vocal croaking. Once in a while a good song comes up, but damn the rest.
Doing nothing is only fun when you have something you are supposed to do.

stop doing what we are told. time to revive the underground. the most hilarious part about all this is the underground has been hiding in pop music all along. time to go next level. bring SOMETHING to the table, it doesn't have to be everything, and it doesn't have to be perfect, it has to be SOMETHING.
