What scale are we talking about?, ie... in order to enter this 
discussion, I'd need to have some more detailed context for the above 
statement

I would agree that musical forms derive from one another and pop mostly 
eats itself (perhaps replace 'pop' with 'western music'), but I'm not 
sure I can say there is no sense of change.. unless you can convince me 
of the utility of seeing change as 'surface detail' of an 
inconsequential nature...
