The 00's will be remembered for the Garage Rock Revival (Strokes, BRMC, early KOL, early White Stripes, Vines), Post-Punk/ New Wave Revival (Interpol, Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party, Killers etc etc), and bands such as Coldplay, who will probably be remembered as the biggest band of the decade (at least from a British perspective).
You also had the Post-Grunge movement with bands such as 3 Doors Down, Hinder, Foo Fighters (another giant of the decade) etc making an impact, whilst emo-pop was another movement that will be associated with the decade.
I'd also like to add thaty Hip-Hop has grown in stature over the last decade, weakening Rock music's grip on the mainstream conscious, there was a fusion with R'n'B that has become this bastard of a hybrid, seemingly dominating the charts.
Personally, i think there has been a huge blurring of identifiable movements, partly because of the Internet, which has enabled listeners to discover obscure bands for themselves without having preconceived classifications of magazines rammed down their throats, also, bands are now able to promote themselves to a much wider audience, so people are being exposed to a much more diverse range of music.
