Isn't it overdue for African Americans to invent a new kind of music that totally changes the culture again?

They did, but they're waiting to tell anyone else until after the record companies die off.

No, they're going to redo emo instead.

wait, i'm confused. which are you counting as the most recent invention/epoch? can you provide a timeline?

(also, i feel like it's less "invent" than "develop" or "evolve." que no?)

I'm not qualified to be a music historian but the main inventions I can see are: Blues --> Jazz --> Rock and Roll --> Hip Hop -->?
I don't know how to fit in genres like gospel, soul, r+b, but I see them as less important, at least as far as impact on mainstream culture goes.

Waayyyyy overdue. They've stuck us with hiphop for how long now?
