In music, there is Mozart and Beethoven. When you look at what makes Beethoven popular today, and even I listen to it, is its timeless value. It does not belong to a certain era, nor does it present a specific fashion.
I think the best way to guess if music will be popular in the future is considering whether it would have been enjoyed in the past. If you took the bans you've listed to Beethoven and his audience, would they be impressed?

They'd probably wonder how they make music with electric guitars and stuff.
