im pretty sure it wil be fitting the situation, which means for me: if there are just a few of us surviving, sitting around campfires or in little bodged-together camps, we will probbaly see a renaissance of campfire music and bards, you know, "the hero of canton"-style. on the other hand, i really dont the gangsters survive, so we will probably ... lose... hip-hop and that style of music, and there wont be the technical means to produce that music, as everything which cant be done with an actual instrument ( if some of this will last into shft) will become extict just because you cant recreate it. if we keep the technical gear to woirk with music or even records of our old beloved hits, then i think it will be a generation type of thing, you know, the older folks, actual survivors will appreciate the sounds from the old time, but the next generation will hardly be able to create a connection to the past it has never seen, so it will try to find its own sound, and that could be everything, from easy to make drum sounds to highpitched techno-pocalypse which will be so differenent from what the "old one" likedjust my grammar-hell 2 coke caps 2 out of 2 found this valuable.

Probably just whatever you can play acoustic, since we'll all probably be without electricity, at least for a while. Personally I'm planning on carrying my guitar with me so I can have some semblance of the way life was before everything went to hell. Spend the day killing zombies, then play something to take my mind off of it. At least until the next day.

You'll be seeing a hell of a lot more a capella, that's certain. Probably all acoustic, and mostly stuff you can carry around. I'll be packing my guitar when I can, and probably you'll see people carrying violins and ukaleles, just because they're easier to carry. Once you get fortified bases and communities, you might see people fixing up pianos and other larger instruments. Also, primitive drumming (tribal type drumming) may be common. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

I think post SHTF it will devolve back to all acoustic, like drums and guitars but rap could still exist because it doesn't have the need for much more than a beat(made with a drum/beat boxing/ by hand) , the basic ability to rhyme and to have a story to tell and without paper or computers most story's are going to be told from person to person.
