It's difficult to determine the era that we live in because we don't have the luxury of 20-30 years of dissection and analysis that allow us to define previous eras. The biggest challenge we face is deciding which trends are lasting and which are just fads. Give it a few decades and you'll get your label, even if it doesn't mean anything to people with a real love for music. Eras are idiotic in the first place, they place emphasis on one overreaching broad genre or movement while completely disregarding everything else that is going on throughout the music world as a whole.
