This is Black

There are things in society that we take for granted, and things we accept without realizing.
We accept that all styles of music will eventually be out of style.
We accept that today's fashion will be tomorrow's faux pas.
We take for granted that music, art, all of culture exists at all.

What if a year from now, there were no new genres of music, no new great works of art.
Would we even know?
Perhaps all the great minds and artists are already dead.
Perhaps these are the dark ages once more.
