Your thought on the future of musical composition (especially commercial music). Will composers eventually exhaust all the possible melodic/harmonic/rhythmic combination to make a new catchy tune?

I'd say a lot of modern mainstream music isn't that reliant on melody/harmony any more - hip-hop, rap, minimalist/chill etc. The shift from organic music to a more electronic-based sound took the best part of a century, I'm pretty sure there'll be more musical innovations down the road we can't imagine now...we're still finding new genres nowadays anyway, I doubt we'll ever be short of anything to listen to ---> https://insights.spotify.com/us/2015/09/30/50-strangest-genre-names/
