{{quote| '''Jobs:''' "Car: Stereo: Search for Opera. Neo, not Classical." }}
* A Grant Morrison story in a Vertigo anthology has people in the future listening to 'freakbeat Vivaldi, skewed and chopped' which either predicted remix culture or just assumed it would continue into the future.
** Not really. He does use this "image" at one point, although it's in the [[Doom Patrol]] arc following Red Jack's [[Dude, She's Like, in A Coma|abduction of the comatose Rhea]]. It's described as being intersected with [[Squick|wedding bells]]. [[It Makes Sense in Context|It makes sense in context.]] [[Mind Screw|Sort of.]]
* There's a James Alan Gardner novel with an interesting justification for using this trope; [[After the End]], all the good music CDs/tapes/records etc have been played so many times over the centuries that there are very few of them left that are still functional. The technology for making more was largely lost, in addition to other problems made obvious in the premise. The reason the "Classical" music everyone admires so much as being from the height of civilization sucks is because the only recordings left are of the godawful crap no one wanted to listen to.
* In Dan Abnett's [[Eisenhorn]] trilogy, taking place in the ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'' universe, there's apparently this thing called "pound", which is by [[Fanon|fans]] described as a mix between house, trance and dance music turned [[Up to Eleven|up to over 9000]].
Line 75:
**** On that note, you can't forget the TOS episode with the future hippies' jam session... [[Fanon Discontinuity|or maybe you should.]]
** One episode of ''TNG'' had an obnoxious teenage alien orphan come aboard; he spent most of his time sulking in his quarters playing incredibly screechy alien heavy metal.
** Realism often takes a backseat to avoid licensing fees, which would apply to pretty much any piece of media from the period in which the shows were made. Sometimes they will use a [[Lawyer
** In one episode of ''TNG'', a Ferengi has a bar entertainer play some Ferengi music (istead of the Klingon opera she was playing before), which turns out to be rather monotonous serialist twelve-tone music (whose mathematical structures are fitting for a culture of accoutants and merchants).
** Who could forget young Jim Kirk listening to "Sabotage" by Beastie Boys driving a classical corvette while Matt Parkman is shouting at him through the [[Product Placement|Nokia]] dashboard communicator in ''[[Star Trek (Film)|Star Trek]]''? Classical car - classical music.
Line 97:
* On ''[[Night Gallery]]'', a character who's wandered into the future encounters some teenagers listening to music, which sounds like a random, tuneless assortment of notes being banged out on a synthesizer. Presumably the show's budget didn't cover a theremin for that one...
* ''[[Andromeda]]'' has some interesting musical choices for what people will be listening to in a few thousand years. Just listen to the [[Space Navy|High Guard]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8uE-HXASuE battle march].
* One episode of ''[[Earth Final Conflict]]'' brings us Taelon music using a light-based musical instrument translated as "tubes". Also, the show's theme music just has a [[One
