This is a normal post The 00s always struck me as a bit of a musically vacant decade.
Compared to the distinct identities of the 60s/70s/80s/90s, the 00s feels like a patchwork of pastiche and recycled styles lacking the long-term resonance that defined earlier eras.

I say that as someone who came of age during the the decade.

Maybe Gen Alpha will start referencing Mr Brightside and have 00s nights in 10 years and I'll be proven wrong.

This is a normal post The word "Noughties" is bad enough.

This is a normal post I saw Katy Perry's Glastonbury show a few years back,
it was unexpectedly very good. Everything else about her is maximum cringe (the space flight, the Musk-fangirling, marrying Russell fucking Brand) but she can sing and knows how to put on a show, which is her job.

This is a normal post Managing for this species is vital for its success, but to do so there must be an understanding of the species' characteristics.
It is endemic to a small portion of Tennessee in the Elk River and West Hickory Creek in the Cumberland River drainage. The life span is very short, living up to only 3 years. In many cases the majority of the population does not even reach that age. Most adult males are eaten by birds because of their bright coloration during breeding season.

This is a normal post I had a similar experience with Kelis back in the mid '00s at Rock Ness.
Just sort of stumbled into her set, having had no previous interest in her whatsoever. She was bloody brilliant, though.

This is a normal post I remember Simon Reynolds' book Retromania
arguing something similar, but half his examples just made me realise that what new technology defined the time was access to all music ever, plus people being able to easily make and publish from home. That level of reflection was new. And as quickly as we burnt through things like mashups, they were novel for a while.

The charts did die, however.
