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.

Yeah, it'll end up being mostly acoustic. I'm carrying, in addition to bug out bag and weapon along with little brother and other family, my violin and some popular music so we don't lose ALL of current music.

I guess it depends on what's available at the time.. I think music from one region to another will differ greatly... hard to pin down one type that would thrive. If you think about it though... hard times, tragic events, and boredom breed some of the best music; may be a great deal of good music being created.

Deluxe most of the things you claim are "churned out by big record companies" are by independents and are mostly underground with little to no connection with the commercial music industry. The ironic part is that the things you claim will survive are overly commercialized. These so called good artists are also so digitally tuned that they are as dependant on technology as say industrial.Most instruments will be rendered useless because we won't have access to things such as replacement strings and parts. Pianos may be salvaged later if they are in good shape but the same problem of parts will be there. The strings of a piano are under huge tension and are likely to snap if exposed to the elements due to corrosion. Post-apocalyptic music would probably be more of a combination of reedless wind instruments, vocal, reedless brass as well as percussion. These groups are instruments which won't need constant replacement parts. I apologise to everyone for this but the bag pipes will survive :'( 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Some music will be easier to play low tech, but it certainly wouldn't be limited by genre. http://youtu.be/kpeEaAGdhCY http://youtu.be/0J2QdDbelmY http://youtu.be/JsMUQK4jdsQ http://youtu.be/ghb6eDopW8I http://youtu.be/REo7VnlenOA http://youtu.be/-CPCs7vVz6s http://youtu.be/tuK6n2Lkza0 These are ones that can more obviously be played accoustically. I've listened to a musician play "they see me rollin'" on guitar and do a damn good job of it. It was brilliant. Do you find this valuable? |

On top of guitar, drums, and harmonica, there should still be pianos, violins, trumpets, and a host of other instruments out there - the only question is if people with the skill to play them will survive. Also, brass instruments have the longest "shelf life" and drums are the easiest to recreate. I would think that most contemporary music would fade out with the electronics they depend upon, while campfire songs, hymns, carols, and childhood songs would be the most portable and durable. My family likes to pile around the piano and sing (poorly) around the holidays now, and that would likely continue. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Oakspar - contemporary music doesn't rely on electronics. Most of the artists offer acoustic versions of their songs or have been performed by someone as an acoustic version. I know how to play trombone (I was told to pick an instrument as a teenager and shrugged. Teachers will take you literally). I don't play regularly but I pick it up the basics quickly when I do play. I can harmonize and support singers, but don't like to lead. I don't know campfire songs, hymns, carols. But I know some classical and more modern music. Lots of people don't grow up singing campfire songs, hymns or carols these days. You're assuming too much. Do you find this valuable? |

The problem with guitars is that eventually, a string will break (occasionally quite violently I may add). Not a major problem now, but a major one if there are no replacement strings available (i.e. a SHTF scenario). I'm not 100% sure but I think pianos would also have this problem (as they also have strings which may break).

Now that everyone's talking about parts, I guess I must defend my violin. A violin's strings will eventually break, but that's under stress. String instruments should probably not be screwed around with if you're going from a hot climate to a cold climate or vice versa. If you do, you end up with a warped piece of wood with broken strings.
