Stretching Metaphors

Pop is a snake. A snake lost in the desert. With nothing to eat, it eats itself, from the tip of the tail up. But what happens when the snake reaches it's own head?

Pop has always kept growing ahead of itself, keeping a decent gap between the music it is influenced by and consumes (the tip of tail) and the music it produces (the neck). But it feels like that gap is shrinking. Pop Will Eat Itself.

Or maybe I'm getting to the age where I remember the music that is now being consumed...

Whatever I just hope we have a summer of music that is consuming this rather than late 90's trance.
