Since when was rock not as big as hip-hop? This is news to me.
Praise be to Nero's Neptune,
The Titanic sails at dawn,
And everybody's shouting,
"Which Side Are You On?"
And Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot,
Fighting in the captain's tower,
While calypso singers laugh at them,
And fishermen hold flowers.Between the windows of the sea,
Where lovely mermaids flow,
And nobody has to think too much,
About Desolation Row.

Saleswise? For about ten years.

Yeah, rock's still popular, but rap and hip-hop dominate the charts.
Which sucks for me, cause I don't like it at all. Maybe a couple of songs, but not the stuff that makes the Top 40 anyway.
No idea what the next thing will be. Usually a whole cultural movement or event accompanies the rise of a genre - see the prohibition helping the rise of jazz, the kids and their "evil" rock, and now the hip-hop guys and girls.
I think I'm talking crap, but whatever.Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth...

The thing is, it's not like any of the genres that aren't #1 right now have gone away. Hip-Hop has been dominating the charts for a while now, but the various different styles of rock are still extremely popular. So I'm not sure what "fate" any of those other styles of music have suffered, or is in store for the current wave.

Well, it's only barely possible to make a living as a jazz musician anymore. Rock, as I've said before, is where jazz was in the 1960s and 70s, still innovating but appealing to an increasingly limited audience except in the most bland and brainless form possible. (Nickelback in this scenario would be not unlike Chuck Mangione.) Acts like Gorillaz, Gnarls Barkley, and Lily Allen are showing the way towards a union of hip-hop and more traditional forms of rock and pop, which I think is the wave of the future.

Towards a brighter musical future where the Seattle grunge sound meets the tuba.
