Thank you, thank you very much
It's weird that Elvis was a revolutionary artist and that the music we listen to today branched from stuff he did, because I don't really consider any of today's music "revolutionary." Like it kind of seems like it's all been done. I mean with every decade there's sort of a new style, but I feel like now all the originality is gone. It was clearly a huge deal when Elvis shook his hips, super immodest and scandalous, and today's dancing isn't considered remotely modest, but what Elvis did is nothing. It's like everything has been pushed as far as it can. Before the 2000's there was already rock, pop, hip hop, electronic, r&b, country, alternative, etc. Every category has already been established. I guess to me it seems like music has nowhere else to go. I still love it though!

I agree! If you look at how stars dance and promote their sexuality today, Elvis' gyrating of the hips seems modest!
I agree with you in that sense. I feel like our music is kind of at stand still. I mean of course it is still amazing and I love music probably more than any other form of entertainment, but I do think it would be nice to get something new. Ya know?
