Goldfrapp was way WAY cooler than Lady Gaga, and Add N to (X) demolishes anything i've heard from the current electropop 'craze'

Amen to everything you just said.

I think it's a little soon to define the next era. I think this decade personally will be referred to the electronic decade. Geez - pop, hip hop and r&b are all about electronic repeating syllables. (Umbrella-ella-ella) (To the left, to the left) (Can't read my, can't read my, no you can't read my poker face) and god the list goes on.

Don't forget artists flaunting the fact they can spell:
"I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T, do you know what that means, man?"
or
"G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S!"

Gag me.

I'd mention about 1,000 songs from previous decades that followed the same format but I don't even know where to start.

In the early 80's there was still a lot of experimental stuff, they were still developing and blending music styles from 70's Punk, New Wave, 70's Techno, Funk, Soul and Ska. In the early 80's one-hit-wonders replaced the big acts of the 70s Bee Gee's and big names in Disco, but then the one-hit-wonders were replace by acts like Michael Jackson and Madonna Ciccone, and Glam & Hair Metal. I never really watched MTV so imo they never had any relevancy. But I felt they killed music by making it uber-commercialize commodity. With the exception of a few things in the early 80's, the decade was a total bust, it's enough to make me wish MTV never happened.

WUT? Dunno what you've been puffing, but the later 80's had all sorts of great shit around, such as Tears for Fears, Level 42, It Bites, Venom, Prince, Celtic Frost, Megadeth, Dead Can Dance, and another half dozen others from a myriad of genres that wouldn't be caught dead on MTV in any way, shape or form. People who only think the 80's were good for New Wave and post-punk have no clue what they're talking about.

Maybe the music we listen to is in itself an era, but we're in it's early stages. And we can't find out or define what era/genre the 00's. Think about it there is more music available then ever before. We can't really categorize this era of musick!

Something will stand out. Most likely something bad. It's too early to tell. End thread.

alright, lets call it the 'rich ass producers get actors to strum on guitars and sing along to music written by some guy who got paid about 20 bucks per song' era then.
