The apocalypse in question refers to the music industry, not us.
With every movie, band. singer, and video game having their own signature soundtrack, when will it come to a point to which a new soundtrack can't be created since those soundtracks has already been created in the past? In other words, when will we run out of possible music combinations and possibilities?

I don't really care because just about all of the music I listen to is from the 20th century.
An artist named Donald Judd wrote a seminal essay called "Specific Objects" which considered this exact inevitability in modern painting and sculpture. His solution was to create an entirely new classification of visual art, which in turn (though he disavowed it until the day he died) became the foundation for Minimalism, and eventually led to aesthetic strategies in architecture that are still employed to this day. Judd made millions of dollars off of these ideas and passed away with homes in many premium locations.
My point is that you may be right, but what will you invent to supplant the currently accepted definition of music? There could be a shitload of money in it for you if you hit the right answer.
