In this work we present a model of style emergence based on consensus models. Given a set of agents, each one with its own style modeled by some real number between 0 and 10, we define a network of relationships; two agents are connected when the distance of their styles is lower than certain fixed value. Only connected agents can interact, although the influence is not based on the present values of their styles but on the values they had some time ago, that is, their history or tradition. The system reaches several non-interacting genres or style clusters, and this dynamic yields more styles than the ones obtained without the influence delay.
