CRYSTAL BALL
The next big thing will be: I think for the next couple of years viral videos will drive pop-culture itself and musically I think Dupstep will become much more mainstream. After that we will have a new, more electronic incarnation of rock music which will become really popular like it did in the 90s.
AND FINALLY …
Words of wisdom: Don’t be a drag just be a queen!
