Will the 00's be remembered fondly?

I think so, it depends what area of music you are remembering! Mainstream wise it has gotten increasingly worse in comparison to previous decades but theres has always been plenty interesting bands/artists outside of the mainstream. Arcade Fire is a good example and more recentley A Place To Bury Strangers, to name but a few examples. I've always argued that there is always good music out there, you just have to look for it! The main issue is the lack of originality or proper musicianship in the mainstream. Bring on the 10s!

I disagree about mainstream geting worse. I'd say it's about the same.

I actually think pop music quality has increased since the 90s. That was the worst, at least in this country .. Anyone who says different was either too young to remember or, frankly, likes ****.

Are Arcade Fire outside of the mainstream? I thought they were well in it.

Yeah, considering that they've been nominated for multiple Grammy and BRIT awards I'd say they're definitely well inside the mainstream.

Fair enough. I wasnt actually aware they had been nominated. Musically, they're pretty unique to me though.
