Has There Been An Overall Sound/Theme To The Noughties?
Maybe there'll only be one through hindsight, but I can't really think of the end of this sentence -
"Ahh do you remember the noughties, when the music was full of [X]" 60s, 70s, 80s, and especially 90s had their own sound, so what's the the noughties' ? |

Lady GaGa was the overall theme I'd say. When she became massive, everyone did a teeny bit of a copy-cat act.
But obviously thats just the past year, not sure about the rest. |

But obviously thats just the past year, not sure about the rest. Its been a very mixed decade. We went through an early period of bubble gum pop with the likes of Britney Spears, N Sync etc Then there were many fresh new bands. Of course the rnb / dance sound. Overall, this is one my least favourite decade. |

I think disposable pop has been the theme.Theres been very few songs that'll still be played in 20 or 30 years time.

the noughties were the first decade NOT to have an original sound. no new genres, just re-hashing retro sounds, but what do you expect when manufactured acts and reality shows are accepted by music fans.
its time youth got its thinking head on and created its own identity. |

Reality TV stars and celebrity is what this decade will be remembered for, I don't think much good music came out of this decade, but having said that a few artists will be looked back on with fondness and majority of people will be wondering why they never got the credit they deserved when people look back on the decade in years to come.

To be honest the 00s has on the whole been a dreadfull time for music. It's just been so poor. We just seem to live in an era where very very few people can actually compose records with great catchy melodies that will be remembered for years and years to come. We've had great records from the 70s and 80s rehashed and totally murdered. We've had to put up with the same style ballad after mind numbing ballad from groups like Westlife and also from the X Factor. (The only decent band to come out of those style shows was Girls Aloud). The 60s, 70s and 80s were the three golden decades for music. The 00s will be remembered as the decade that fun, great melodies and imagination forgot. |

All the kids round here are into hardcore rave. Never get any in the charts though.There should be another teen movement to set the charts alight. Cant think of one 'classic' number one record.

I think indie became big again, with The Libertines and the Strokes, then Arctic Monkeys bringing it back fully.

At one time record companies used to look for new talent and trends on the "streets" so to speak, does this happen now?

![]() I think the way it happens now is that an aspiring artist needs to make a demo tape, and get it heard by labels. However, the label will only even consider it if it's given to them by a trusted manager/agent, so it's an uphill struggle all the way

I think the 00s have been a really weird decade on many levels. Everything seems very shallow, overly marketed and cynical, and the music has reflected it.
I was thinking about the Joe McElderry record the other day and how it is entirely possible that everyone involved with making the record could have felt absolutely no emotional involvement with what they were producing. Sounds like it anyway, and the lad can sing. |

2009 has been dominated by generic Urban Pop and Indie is basically dead mainstream wise , i hope this is not a sign of things to come in the tennies.

Generally I'd say heavily marketed bland pop.

I would say more retro techno pop but this appeared in the latter years of the noughties - we have Tinchy Stryder, Taio Cruz, Gaga, La Roux, etc.

Usually when looking back you associate a colour with respective decades. Like the 70's you have Brown, 80's Neon whilst the 00's I would say were a very unattractive pale grey!

I was talking about this the other night. There is no overall theme I think.
Not rubbish, just very mixed compared to other decades. Earlyish 00'th's had a lot of British indie-ish type music popular (Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs). Then there was an R&B phase. Now it's gone back to cheesey disco-pop with an edge.(ala Gaga, etc)
