In the past fifteen years, I can think of two sub-genres are done with, which are: Bubblegum pop & crunk/southern rap. I can confidently say that those two won't come back. They were two novelty/gimmicky genres and while they were hot for the time being, they also sound dated for any years post those times.
Can you guys think of any other subgenres that won't prolly have a comeback?

Bubblegum pop will be back. It's been popular for periods dating back half a century. As long as there are children and teens there will be bubblegum pop phases.

I think right now, the electropop phase is substituting for the bubblegum pop, aswell as the disney phase of 2006- 2008....Im not quite sure if it will be back, the sound is very dated now.

I noticed that pop/punk is going down the drain on both pop, alternative, and active rock.

Bubblegum pop and southern rap are very broad descriptions of music. Those will never be defunct genres. As long as there is a southern rap scene, there will be southern rap. It may not sound like it sounded in 1995, or 2003, or 2006, but it still exists.
R&B subgenres like jackswing, disco, and boogie are dead. They have since evolved into completely different subgenres to the point that anything now that resembles those styles would be considered something entirely different.

Bubblegum pop is pretty much just pop meant for tweens. It's still around. It's not huge, but it's not gone. What about Selena Gomez? I'd say she's pretty bubblegum.

They have since evolved into completely different subgenres to the point that anything now that resembles those styles would be considered something entirely different. Actually disco has made a comeback in the form of nu-disco and disco house. It isn't mainstream, and I don't know if it ever will be again, but it's alive in the form of disco house and nu-disco house scenes.

Disco no longer exists as a subgenre, but other subgenres have been born out of disco. Two of the most dominant subgenres born out of disco were boogie (post-disco) and house music. House music is heavily influenced by disco, but it's not actually disco.

Your point was that They have since evolved into completely different subgenres to the point that anything now that resembles those styles would be considered something entirely different. You were talking about disco when you said that, but disco house and nu-disco house aren't considered "entirely different" from disco, but rather a new, updated form or evolution of it. If you listen to some recent or current disco house or nu-disco house stuff, you'll hear a lot of very strong similarities to the old, original disco in many of the newer songs. I disagree. I wasn't talking about house itself (which can range from jazz house, tech house, progressive house, euro house, commercial house, electro house, etc), but the individual genres, disco house and nu-disco house, both of which owe many of its influences to the original disco genre and are still considered as disco, just in new, updated forms with slightly different genre names.

That's exactly the point I was trying to make. There was some misunderstanding. Disco does not exist in its original form. Nu-disco is heavily influenced by the disco of the 70s, obviously, but that doesn't mean its the exact same genre. It's very rare that a genre just dies out and leaves absolutely no influence on any future genres. Even a genre like new jackswing has left a mark on R&B. It was the turning point at which contemporary soul music became more hip-hop influenced, and most contemporary R&B today still has that hip-hop influence.

It was the turning point at which contemporary soul music became more hip-hop influenced, and most contemporary R&B today still has that hip-hop influence. But that's with any genre, even the ones that haven't died, like pop and rock. A rock song today won't sound exactly like a rock song from the 60s or 70s, etc. That doesn't mean that rock or pop has died. Genres change and evolve with time. My point was people still consider nu-disco and disco house to be "disco" even if it isn't exactly the same as disco of the 70s.

Pop and rock are not subgenres. And? Genres can't change with time? Just because it's a sub-genre, doesn't mean that it isn't a genre itself.Edit//Oops, just realized that this topic was talking about sub-genres only. Edit2//Ok, not pop and rock, but synth pop has existed for a while now, at least since the 80s. But today's synth pop wouldn't sound exactly the same as it did back in the 90s or in the 80s. That doesn't mean that it isn't still synth pop.

Crunk may be dead now, but Southern rap? Lil Wayne, T.I., Rick Ross, Ludacris are southern rappers. How can you call this genre dead?

That doesn't mean that it isn't still synth pop. That's because the term is still used to label any kind of pop music that has an instrumental backing primarily made up of synthesizers.

What about eurodance/eurobeat? Italo disco? Freestyle? Those are all separate genres/subgenres that aren't synth pop that are pop music genres that have instrumentals primarily made up of synthesizers.

Surprised Dubstep hasn't come up yet. I'd have added UK Garage as well, but it seems it's getting a bit of a revival with Jung Kook's new hit and Zayn's latest flop. Similarly, Trance had long faded out but seems to be enjoying a modest revival at the moment. New Jack Swing Freestyle Hi NRG Quiet Storm Miami Bass I feel like Quiet Storm is always kind of around but not crossing over. It's essentially lush R&B ballads and they're definitely still bring produced. Otherwise, I completely agree. Even so, you never know when you'll get a one off! (Like Bruno and Cardi's "Finesse" for New Jack Swing. ) The active rock to CHR crossover hit. Thankfully!
