At what point does rap music completely dissolve into extinction?

Can anyone name an extinct genre of music, besides maybe disco (some might view it as a subgenre) in the last 50 years?

Swing but that’s out of 50 years

Big Band music from the early 1920s

Doo-Wop was absolved into R&B but what made it distinct is long gone and not coming back

Swing music made a comeback in the late 90's and there are still bands doing shows from that wave

Wishing for the downfall of hip hop?

You really want "Afro Beats" (aka West African pop music) to take over?

Rap won't be extinct. But rap is already uncool compared to before and I expect rap music to go down heavily within the decade.

That's a good thing because we need people dabbling in other genres instead of fukking up Hip Hop. That will probably lead to a second boom period for Hip Hop later down the line.

Hip Hop runs the world now. It's not going anywhere.

What will vanish, are the wack sub-genres that pop up in Rap every few years. Those trends aren't gonna last, as we already see. But Hip Hop's core and what it represents is too globally dominant to ever go anywhere. It's how we all live and operate now, without even noticing it. Waves die, culture doesn't. Hip Hop will always be the dominant force in music.
