On the Origin of Scenes

Figure 1: Status quo

The musical scene is large and well established



Figure 2: Outbreak

Frustrated with the status quo, musicians migrate from the core

this could be any established genre



Figure 3: Shared values

Some of the musicians find common ground and create a new camp

this is the "what do u call it" moment, where the rate of change and posibilities are the greatest



Figure 4 & 5: Growth and influx

The new scene attracts an influx and grows

this is funky right now, dubstep three years ago, grime five years ago



Figure 6: Becoming the status quo

The scene becomes the status quo

And frankly, who wants to be Status Quo... only joking. ;)
