Based on how long previous genres have remained dominant, Romantasy will remain popular until ~2030. I assume after a fantasy boom, it'll be followed by some contemporary boom, like how John Greens books blew up after YA Distopian died down. But if you had a choice, which genre would you like to dominate next?

I genuinely don’t care what’s popular on social media, so it doesn’t make a difference to me.
I wish political satires were more popular, but im not sure if it being as the defacto number 1 genre would be great. The ones we do get usually are interesting and well thought out, if it gets saturated and everything gets satirized on a mainstream level, it might make it more moot.
I just love political satires tho and would love more than we have
I usually don’t care so much about social media popularity, but If I could pick one, I’d say that I’d love to see a resurgence in utopian fiction! Authors like Becky Chambers, Kim Stanley Robinson etc. are doing a great job, but I think the dystopian narrative has dominated literature (especially YA lit) for far too long. I’m just interested to see what stories people will come up with.
I want an entirely new genre to spring up with a name and content that is completely incomprehensible to outsiders. How does ‘Cheesecore’ sound?
