> There used to be like one genre of music, classical / church music, then everyone loved the Beatles

That's a gross misrepresentation of the history of music

Well it was, but in service to my point that rock was pretty broad at one point, with the Beatles ungodly popular. But with the spread of genre no one can ever be that popular again.

What's important isn't the bastardized analogy but the point, that humanity will not follow just one or the other course, but dozens of them across many niches, and it's wrong to claim it will be one or the other, it will be both plus a couple dozen others.
