Will the 00's be remembered fondly?
 

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.

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.

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

To be honest, I think I'll be very embarassed by the radio; they'll be playing the ****ty stuff like The Jonas Brothers 15 years from now, I imagine. But I'll still be listening to my favorite albums from the past 10 years that I listen to now, and I think it'll still be just as great. As far as what will be remembered in general: I think it will be a lot different than previous decades. For example, everyone knows what got popular in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, either too the general public or music critics. But what will that music be for us? I feel that Animal Collective, MF DOOM (close enough) The Killers, maybe Eels, the Shins, The Unicorns, and the Strokes will, in my opinion, be the bands from the '00s that are huge in the way that Pavement, Guided By Voices, Built to Spill, and Yo La Tengo, and Radiohead if you want to throw them in were in the 90's. But strangely, the only band that comes to mind when I think of something that parallels these greats this decade is Animal Collective. I guess time will tell; it just seems with the internet there are a lot more different types of music coming out in massive quantities that it's not necessarily one band that makes it big. It's more a whole genre, which spawns tons of bands that make music of a similar style. I guess we'll see, you never know who could be popular in the next 15 years. Could even be Dalek.

And I don't know what you guys are smoking, the '00s rock for music in my opinion. I just don't know how much will be actually remembered in years to come, there aren't many bands from this decade consistently cranking out good music and there's so many bands everybody likes something else.

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

statements like this are made every 5 years.

I ****in loved the 90s.

Same.
