That's an interesting point. When you frame it that way, I could see how artists like her could lead to a larger resurgence down the road. It seems inevitable that at some point kids are going to start rebelling against what's popular now and looking for something different they can identify with, and a passionate, analog rocker like CB might look like a pretty appealing alternative to all the heavily-produced, electronic-based stuff that's in right now.

She is so goddamn retro she is ahead of the curve

Well, don't misunderstand me: I don't think "retro" is the future. A retreat from slick pop production might be, but I don't think it can truly become relevant again unless it moves beyond "retro" and becomes somehow progressive and new.

I honestly think music is going to be exactly what it is today. Radio stations are now completely irrelevant as they all have the exact same playlist of top 20 songs. Pop music will dominate, gloss production etc. The masses will always eat it up. Then you will have all these other minor outlets to find music like spotify, through the internet, etc...but they will never crack the mainstream. everything sucks. everybody dies and only kanye and beyonce rule the world with every couple years Britney re-appearing in some new skanky bikini lip synching her terrible music.

I think it's more than that. The music, from what I heard, feels like its looking backwards. It doesn't feel like any kind of evolution from things I've already heard. It doesn't sound new or different - just solid rock music. It doesn't feel exciting or vital to me. Which makes it seem like it's dwelling in the past.

I think Pussy Riot is probably the most recent widely-relevant rock band.

I dont listen to her, i dont know her albums at all, but i saw those songs in SNL and thought about Nirvana...but not a good way.

those two songs aren't entirely representative of her music methinks.

That wasn't for musical reasons, though. No one actually listened to them.

I felt she was really trying, seemed honest, but everything screamed ¨ ey i like the 90s so so much!!¨ i was waiting for J Mascis or Kim Gordon to appear.

Possibly not that big a difference from Nirvana but I find Courtney to be very similar to Breeders. Cannonball would not stick out an any of Courtney's albums.
