[unsignedint]

Somewhat related with #3, but I think music will become more of utilitarian, perhaps incidental instruments where it is combined with other media. That could be music intended for video, movie, etc.

This trends has been observed in some places, like in Japan, where pretty much most if not all of the top music are pretty much tie-ins. (Although, it could be that people know artist already, but I do start to see the case where it's other way around.)
