Based on the past two genres, we can probably predict that some new genre will begin to rise in a decade or two and become the next cultural zeitgeist of music, most likely coming into being in the 2030s or 2040s. In your opinion, what might this new genre sound like or if you already know of a genre that might become the next zeitgeist, what is it.

I think it will definitely be a product of Gen Alpha growing up with streaming services. I think the fact that they have practically all the music of the world at their hands form birth will lead to some cool fusion of basically any mainstream genre under the sun. Kinda in the way rock blended blues, country, and jazz, I think this new genre will make up a similar blend, probably some combination of hip-hop, indie, and electronic.
