:rolleyes:
Really! The club scene has been steadily vibrant since the 70's and house music has been alive since disco went underground back in 1980.
So house music and clubbing may slow down but it will never die.

it's already out of the underground has been for most of 2010... mostly the mainstreamers and trendy kids are still caning the brostep joints.
i can see that sound being mainstream for all of 2011.. i mean look at how the mainstreamers have gone nuts over Skrillex (still trying to figure that one out...) and he's doing electrohouse which is imo been on it's last legs since 2009.
my forecast for 2011 is electronic dance music's overall appeal and popularity will continue to grow as it has been for the last 5 years... but the divide between mainstream genres and underground genres will be larger than ever... as more punters flock to the mainstream sounds, more and more heads will retreat to the underground sounds.
so i predict were going to hear some really amazing fresh music in the next year in the underground broken beat genres like glitchho,downtempo, wonky dubstep, breaks, d&b... a return to more organic sounds and recording techniques of the 90s are expected as people are growing tired of the ultra-synthetic noises.
We have morgan page for electro house. He's tracks are pretty tight. He'll probably be electrohouse's lifesaver. For Swedish house mafia...mainstream next year. They're super tight but they obviously wants to be rich lol (who doesn't?)
there is a reason why..
The biggest clubs in miami play gay house...
And all the rest(obviously not all) are playing dubstep in the smaller venues.
The miamibass culture is eating dubstep up like there is no tommorrow..

I don't have any particular feelings about dubstep except that I don't tend to get along with people who are hardcore fanatics about d&b…and they listen to dubstep for some reason.
A few years ago, when the electro house thing was starting to come into its own, there was a movement inside breaks that combined the best elements of older (less formulaic, more, well, "entrancing) trance with hard-hitting but not hardcore breakbeats. Electro went mainstream, and the goa douchebags took the break-trance that was kind of awesome and turned it into psybreaks, which has only really seen anything resembling a swell in the last 6-10 months. I'd love for that to happen some with people who know how to produce good trance instead of people who make tracks with 3 breakdowns and mix through every part of every song that has a beat. So–in other words–I'd enjoy hearing good, somewhat tamer, psybreaks coming towards the forefront at least of the trance scene…at least more so than the way some trance DJs just kinda randomly switch to dubstep halfway through their set.
I'd also love to see the end of the latin thing in House, but that's just because I find those voices annoying.
And it might be time for big room techno to come to the forefront. Big room techno is doing what early trance did…at reasonable tempos…better. And it mixes well with house. That's the direction I see myself going, at least, and I'd love to not be the only one.
I'm not sure that was really meant as a low blow to the gay community, house, disco etc...
Though it could easily have been interpreted that way. My friends of mine and I have a subgenre we refer to as gay house and it's spoken about with respect not antipathy.
EDIT:
Oh yeah, meant to say: "Underground will live foreva baby. We just like roaches; never dieing....always livin'. And on that note, let's get back to the program."
