I tend to like to predict the future trends and fads in the future, and I can see what is emerging. I don't seem to pay attention to well of what is emerging, but I can see some things are going to come back some how by usual some pure logic or common sense.
I don't pay attention to the alternative and underground scene but what is in the alternative or underground scene might seem to attract the fashion of the future. Rock and Roll is one example of the 1950s. The first elements of rock and roll took place after the war during the 1940s, which is in a form of music called rockabilly. That is associated with the greaser subculture. Then someone glamorized the rock and roll scene in the 1950s, which is Elvis, which then eventually led to Buddy Holly and Jerry Lee Lewis.
Then the Beatles came out, which started the "rocker subculture." The rocker subculture seem to be associated with short hair and rebellion with more of a greased up look. The Beatles had created the rocker look to be long hair. Then you had more Beatles like groups such as The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Animals, The Doors, and anyone on your classic rock station.
Rock music was started to become dated, then in the 1980s, it seems like a new form of rock music was new wave which is reviving the 1950s style rocker look with short hair, but with the use of synthesizers instead of guitars. That made electronic music/dance music and the dance subculture come into mainstream. Guitars are outdated and long hair is outdated, so the synthesizer and short hair is the future.
Eventually the synthesizer became outdated and we went back to guitar. It looks like there is a war between guitar and synth, unless we merge the guitar and synth together to make everyone happy.
I can see that the guitar always want to make a comeback and nothing against the guitar, and the synth hasn't really come back until the new millennium. I can see the synth dominance again in the 2010s and 2020s, then a guitar revival about maybe the 2020s or 2030s. Or it seems like we were are going to scrap the battle between synth and guitar, and start bringing back full orchestras, or jazz instruments such as the saxophone or the clarinet or start becoming whacked out with our instruments and start playing with anything to make music.
It looks like in the 2010s and 2020s, you need to think of something that hasn't been thought of before or hasn't been thought of in a long time. I haven't heard full orchestras in music in a long time and I haven't heard a jazz band or a big band in music for a long time. Or we can go into the future and start figuring out what to do next in music - we pretty much done everything.
The same thing with fashion - I have a feeling that we had tried the slob look for a while and the slut look for a while. Lets see a girl wear a dress or a guy wear a suit. I don't remember men wearing suits or girls wearing dresses as casual wear. It might look very sophisticated. Or we can think of some progressive style that you haven't seen before.
