Will the 00's be remembered fondly?

loveissucide · 10-26-2009, 07:12 PM

Well,we're at the end of a decade and it's time to get the retrospectives out of the way.In 15 years' time,when radio stations start to play 00's music as retro, will we be embarrassed or pleased at how well it's held up?
To be honest,I think it's been a very mixed decade.Lots of great stuff,lots of rubbish, and very little consensus on what was good and what wasn't.

What do the rest of you think?

The mainstream has been terrible aside from a couple of bands. It is the music that has been kept out of the public eye that will be remembered.

Very little really being kept outside the public eye though.It's ridiculously easy to find out about music now.

You know that, and I know that, but the people that only watch MTV2 and listen to the radio don't know that.

Isn't this like the 5th thread on the topic?

Anyways I agree with Alfred. If you look at it from a view of overall Good music: Bad music you would get a pretty disappointing year, just because of the amount of popular music that to me sounds like shit.

But if you think about everything good that has come out and ignore the bad stuff, it's been a pretty good decade.

I'm already embarrassed by the 00's. I don't know which was worse the 00's or the 90's.

Wait, what? That was the 10 year period of time that defined a 20 year period of time?
But yeah, I agree that if you examine pretty much any decade you're going to find a very similar crap:good ratio. Though in my opinion there is a special circle of hell set out for those who created 90s mainstream music. NSYNC and the Back Street Boys terrorize my nightmares.
My main problem with the aughties, is that we have very few things that are exclusively from this decade. Everything is a slight twist on some other genre or trend. I guess it's largely to do with the internet, and how so much is only a couple key strokes away. There's so much out there now, it's harder to sort the wheat from the chaff.
Haha i just realized I completely pulled an aughty here by not bringing anything new to the table but essentially rephrasing what others have already said. oh well.
