I think as long as people can still experiment, develop and intergrate different musical forms that has to be a good thing

Plus it has absorbed and processed such other musics as jazz and classical. What thrills me most is that rare artist who takes extant, vintage materials and refashions/ reinvents--one such was John Fogerty but here's others like James Hunter. Jazz has absorbed hip-hop elements; Classical has invented several strains in these last 150 years; Reggae has put its spin on all manner of American forms, then moved on. Where can Rock or Rock&Roll move to? Not being a buster; serious question--What elements are left to explore/absorb/invent?
