The writing is on the wall, I think. The death of the verse. The birth of the sub-2 minute long “song”. A structure of chorus, chorus variant, end “jam” chorus. Finish. It will be even cheaper and faster to produce, and the immediate novelty of it will allow it to unfortunately further destroy the art of what a “pop song” is. I think this will happen by the end of 2018. A Big Name Artist will come out with such a creation, and then start a trend. At which point, the push back to what was prior will be regarded as “old”.
