What Genre Defined the 2000's?

Nu Metal

Pop

2000-2004 is pop/punk
2005-2009 is nu metal
2010-now is indie o o oo'ing, stoner metal, and weird laid back "blues" stuff

Rap became increasingly popular it seemed. Lil Wayne, Nas, Jay-Z, The Hot Boys. Southern rap especially became the new hot stuff.

Limp Bizkit, the pioneers of the genre, were pretty much done by 2001, but their legacy inspired the movement that lasted through the decade.

I refer to the mid 2000s as the myspace era of rock music

You had underoath, circa survive, etc


I don't listen to stuff like that often, but rock was in during this time. There were shows everywhere, kids were making bands. Hell I had a hardcore band when I was 15-17 (2005-2007). Those were good times. Now kids all wanna play the laptop.

Depends what you were listening to. There several subgenres.

Rock for the 2000s: Alternative Rock - Subs would be Nu Metal, Post Punk Rock, some Post Grunge, Alternative Metal, Emo, Electronic Rock.


For Pop: Who gives a shite most of that sucks.
For Hip/Hop Rap: This is pretty big in 2000s. Not familiar with that many sub genres of this though.

Anything else: Meh. Who cares again.

This along with Limp Bizkit was the triumvirate of shitty. So I'm going to say it was just an era of stale, shitty music. Which continues to this day.

I think Eminem has sold more albums than any artist since 2000. He was number one and The Beatles were number 2. This was years ago, though.
