Y'all think New Jack Swing could ever make a comeback?

I got a theory that NJS was intentionally killed off by the industry to make money off of it Elvis style #nonikkas

late 90s pop music was basically white washed NJS

and NJS was poppin' in Japan until like 2007

It will. Waves move in cycles.
What sound has ever come back en masse? Raphael Saddiq did a couple of projects sounding like some old 60’s shyt, but everyone wasn’t on that. D’Angelo made a jazz album, everyone wasn’t on that. Beyonce and drake made house music, that didn’t take off as a wave. I can’t think of any distinct sound of an era that has been recycled on a “this has come back” level

Yes. Current R&B has no juice. If artists started making New Jack Swing inspired music, it would do just as well if not better than the R&B that's out....which isn't saying much.

They had/have bop.
for the new pop sryke of autotune meets the commercial version of thug n b. Where new jack swing is just an evolution of hip house being a pop sellout construct.

That the protection mechanisms of hiphop were able to get rid of. When the culture went hardcore.

That fast forward from 1993 to about a decade later in like 2012, 2013-2014 or so.
To when bop reigned.

That bop gets lost in drill being evil bop.

Or evil house music.

Yet they replaced new jack swing after it was dead-dead. As a pop construct.
after racks with bop.







Then drill is basically evil bop.

if mano e mano catch on.[ not sure if teezo's kiss demon live image will take tho].


bop will probably dominate as a pop construct. once again a decade later.

Bop never left Chicago

On the other hand, that ATL futuristic movement was nationwide. And bop was heavily influenced by that at that time.
