saw something recently about how the future has been cancelled. it was especially in reference to music where, yes, i reckon you could make a reasonably good case for that. IMHO in music it's all about there no longer being any money in it.
however despite the stranglehold of hipsteRetro culture the future is alive in other areas of culture/life. here's what i believe to be some good examples:
1- sunset overdrive
this self-reflexive game is great, completely original and masses of fun. there's no way something like this could have been made 10 years ago.
2. Dawn of the Planet of The Apes
woah! yes - hang on it - it might be a reboot of an old franchise - but apart from that there is precisely nothing retro about this movie. also the animation of the apes is frankly startling. again, there's no way something like this could have been made 10 years ago.
