Not quite my taste but I think in the electronica field there is music that literally could not have been made before/without computers - and sounds like it.

As my GLW said yesterday, anything that happens before you are 14 is just normal. Things between 15 and 30 are brilliant and full of potential. After 40 nothing is as good as it was when you were 15.

This has nothing to do with the actual music - it is down to us.

Music is alive and well. However, the longer you're listening to music the more things start to sound derivative because you can recognise the reference points and influences.

We might, for now, have seen the last of the big 'movements' in music where it seems that something huge has come along like 60s Pop, Psychedelia, Punk, Rap, House Music etc.

The music scene is so fractured now, and so complex its hard for something like to emerge and have so much impact because people pick up on new musical ideas a lot sooner and they get assimilated into the mainstream before they can accumulate an underground groundswell and turn into something the media can call a 'scene' or a 'movement'. Information travels so much faster.
The big youth movements/pop culture explosions are now in technology, not music. That isn't to say there isn't a vast amount of mind bogglingly inventive and interesting music around...there's too much of it and its hard to define any sort of scene for more than 5 minutes before the Twitterati and the blogosphere has defined another one.
