Yeah, the 2000's I think has been one of the best decades. Go on Pandora and type in Janis Joplin and eventually some crazy sick artist from the 2000's who takes their influence from her and does something different with it will pop-up on your screen. You could most likely do that with almost any genre; funk, soul, jazz, blues, anything.
Way I see it this isn't an issue of not having quality artists which size-up to the record books, because there are many. Maybe it's an issue of not having those quality artists being played on mainstream radio... but duh, the all mighty controllers have a market to reach and everyone older then eight is pirating their own personal mp3 collections for free. I'm surprised the mainstream music isn't spongebob's sing along.
It's a theory of mine, too, that for some reason or another this decade has less people who aren't mainstream zombies then previous decades, but I have no proof of that excluding what MTV tells me as I'm young. But hey- it's no crime to enjoy nothing else but mainstream music, it's just a choice!
Edit: Okay I got a little off track, my conclusion being I don't care how the 00's are remembered by society, I just care that I get more really rad, diverse, free music like I have been getting. Really I'm a happy camper. =)
