Scenario: Rock and roll generation

From Future

The rock and roll generation, who will become the parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents of the post-rock generation will consist of people born between 1942 and 1996. While rock and roll music will be replaced in popularity with world beat music either in or around the year 2010, these people will collect the vinyls, 8-tracks, cassettes, and compact discs containing their "precious rock and roll music" and keep them for collection (and as rock and roll music becomes rarer, the value goes up and most are tempted by the 2030s to sell them in order to start small businesses or go on vacations of a lifetime).

Because nature of rock and roll music has altered drastically since 1955, the rock and roll generation will be categorized into four different sub-groups.

[edit] The Sub-Groups of the Rock and Roll Generation

• The Greaser Generation - people born between 1942 and 1957
• The Hippie Generation - people born between 1958 and 1973
• The Materialistic Generation - people born between 1974 and 1989
• The Internet-Downloaded Music Generation - people born between 1990 and 1996

Because of this generation's importance in creating popular culture, they will leave footprints of their ideas, thoughts, patterns, and inventions throughout the dwelling places of the post-rock generation. Although people born in the year 2005 might not fully appreciate Play-Doh, catch phrases from the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, or even most of the 1990s catch phrases, these beliefs and objects will become high culture by the 2050s. By the year 2067, the only place to view a Jimi Hendrix song will be in a museum.
