Meh, I kinda disagree. I've actually never met anyone who was into indie rock in my area except maybe at my college. Most people at least in my area in the 00s listened to hip hop/R&B/reggaeton, as well as screamo, pop punk, and metalcore/hardcore/deathcore. Occasionally, I'd run into hop topic mallgoths who were into nu metal, industrial, and bands like Cradle of Filth, and even the occasional metalhead who was into Lamb of God, Devildriver, and Chimaira, but indie was never really that popular, at least where I live, yet again, maybe it was more popular in suburban areas, but seeing as how I live in an extremely urban area, I've never really seen it. Oh yeah, and also stupid ICP worshipping juggalos were pretty common in my area.

I still think there's era's... As I said in a previous post, I believe that Electro has taking the for-front for most genres right now, but in time this may be looked at as an "Era" as well... Since we are in that "Era" and it is catchy right now, its tough to put a label on us... I can most certainly tell the difference between tracks released in 2000, and tracks released now though

We are in the era of people that can't sing who are pitch controlled electronically.

Well, the non-vocal parts of Drunk N' Hot Girls were amazing. Kanye must be a creative genius for coming up with that really original melody...

I think the 2000's and the 10's can't be classified into an era. with the rise of the internet, pretty much everybody can access albums that are not a part of the mainstream. I think we're all just stuck in a cultural mish-mash of everything where there are no real ways to classify these years.

but now that I think about it, this probably isn't the right answer but it's the best answer I can give.

It's right on the money, and I largely consider that a good thing.

Ditto.

I think the right answer is that we won't know what era the 00's were until another 10 years or so when we look back on it and see how much the times have changed. It's still far too early to define the 00's musically.
