As we move into the future, it’s hard to predict what will happen in the world of music. But one thing is for sure – techno music is here to stay. In this blog post, we’ll take a look at what to expect from techno music in the next few years.

A Look Back at 2020

Techno music has seen a major resurgence in popularity over the past few years. In 2020, we saw a number of new artists emerge onto the scene and make a name for themselves. We also saw a number of established artists release new music that pushed the boundaries of the genre. So, what can we expect from techno music in 2022?

The Rise of Genres

In recent years, a number of new genres have been founded or introduced, often as a result of musical experimentation. In 2020, several new genres rose to prominence, including dark techno, tribal techno, and acid techno. While these genres are still relatively new, they have already begun to make an impact on the techno scene.

While the rise of new genres can be seen as a positive development, it has also caused some tension within the techno community. Some purists believe that the proliferation of new genres is diluting the music’s original intent and sound. Others argue that the rise of new genres is a natural and necessary evolution of the music.

Regardless of where you stand on the issue, there’s no denying that the rise of new genres has had a significant impact on the direction of techno music. It will be interesting to see how these genres develop in the coming years.

The Decline of Genres

The music industry is in a state of flux. The way we consume music has changed drastically in the past decade, and the industry has been slow to catch up. Streaming services have made it easier than ever to access a wide variety of music, but they have also made it harder for artists to make a living. In addition, the trend of “playlisting” has led to shorter attention spans and less patience for long-form music. As a result, many genres are in decline.

Techno is one of the genres that has been hit hardest by these changes. The genre is built around complex, long-form tracks that are often best experienced in a club setting. However, fewer people are going to clubs and festivals, and those who do are more likely to gravitate towards shorter, more digestible tracks. In addition, techno’s traditional homebase of Europe is in the midst of an economic downturn, which has led to fewer opportunities for young artists. All of these factors have contributed to a decline in the popularity of techno over the past few years.

That said, there are still many passionate techno fans out there, and the genre is far from dead. In fact, some believe that the current decline may actually be a good thing for techno in the long run. By weed out weak artists and forcing those remaining to get creative, it may be possible for techno to come back stronger than ever before. Only time will tell if this will happen, but 2022 should be an interesting year for the genre nonetheless.

What’s in Store for Techno in 2022

Though it’s hard to say exactly what will happen in the world of techno music in 2022, we can take some educated guesses based on current trends. We can expect techno to continue to grow in popularity, with more and more people turning to it as their go-to genre of choice. We can also expect to see some new sub-genres and sub-styles emerge, as well as a continued push towards innovation and creativity.

The Rise of New Artists

In the past few years, we’ve seen techno music explode in popularity. With the rise of new artists like Rødhåd, Dixon, and Nina Kraviz, techno has taken the world by storm. In 2022, we can expect to see even more new artists emerge onto the scene and take the genre to new heights. We can also expect to see more innovative production techniques and a continued focus on creating unique and deeply emotive soundscapes. So whatever your taste in techno music, be prepared for an exciting year ahead!

In 2022, we can expect to see a decline in the popularity of artists who have been at the top of the charts for the past few years. This is due to a number of factors, including the rising popularity of other genres (such as Hip-Hop and R&B) and the growing trend of people streaming music instead of buying it. This means that, although there will still be some techno artists who are very popular, their numbers are likely to be smaller than they are currently.

The Evolution of Techno Music

What started out as an underground electronic music movement in 1980s Detroit has now become a global phenomenon, with techno clubs and festivals popping up all over the world. And it shows no signs of slowing down. So what can we expect from techno music in the next few years?

For one thing, we can expect it to continue to evolve and change. Techno is always evolving, as new artists experiment with different sounds and subgenres emerge. We’ve already seen this in recent years, with the rise of tech house and other hybrid genres.

We can also expect techno to become more mainstream. It’s already making inroads into the pop world, with artists like Grimes and TOKiMONSTA incorporating elements of techno into their music. And as more people become exposed to techno through festivals and the club scene, its popularity is only going to grow.

So if you’re a fan of techno, or just curious about what this ever-evolving genre has to offer, keep your ears open for new music in the coming years. You might be surprised by what you find.
