So, I just realized that we’re ending the decade in a couple weeks. That makes me feel old. Also, it makes me wonder how this decade will look to people 30 years from now. Like, is it gonna be one of those "the 00's had cool music, but man their clothes were wack"  type things? Or more of a "They had good clothes but everybody was sorta crazy" thing? Will they even listen to our music? 

Guessing how things are going to age is hard. I mean, seriously. Look at the 80’s. Sure, some of music was good, they did a few good action movies, but… Well, this video here sort of summarizes that decade perfectly, for me. 

  
  

Actually, you know what? I take it back. The 80’s were awesome. And I think it's fair to say at this point, so were the 2000's.

When you're listening to Midnight Brown make sure it's the real thing.  Sometimes it's just "White Midnight" coloured Brown.

But it's never really been something that we've taken seriously. There are way more people making non-Autotuned songs than there are doing Autotune. Can we really put it under the cons for this decade, if there's already a huge push against it?

I honestly can't think of a main trend for the 00's. It was actually pretty diverse.

I think people are going to be going "the fashion was sort of shit. or at least some of it was."
 
Actually, I already am. I mean, seriously, what's with all the guys in skinny jeans and too-small t-shirts? My mom dragged me into American Eagle last year and showed me this shirt, and I was like "it's too small." And she looked at the tag and said "it's an extra large", and I replied, "I don't care, it's too small".
 
Also, pink, teal, and yellow collared shirts with white slacks do not belong on anyone.
 
And 5 years ago, it was all ill-fitting clothes that were too big. Like, seriously, people in my school were wearing "gangsta" clothes that cost more money than my $100 sneakers. I guess they missed the instructional video talking about how people on the streets couldn't buy nice clothes.
 
50 Cent will probably be looked at as some sort of generational thing that we'll all listen to nostalgically, kind of like all the 80s rappers are now, and the 90s rappers will be in about 10 years. Kanye will probably be huge for years to come, kind of like the Beatles, or Bruce Springsteen.
 
Most of the artists on the top of the charts right now, though, will be largely forgotten. If you listen to, say, Music Choice's current rap station, most of the music sounds pretty much the same, beat-wise. So only a couple of artists will really be remembered. I have a theory that that's how it always is with music: a bunch of similar-sounding bands come out at the same time (zeitgeist?), and only the best few are remembered.
 
Also, iPods.

Yeah, I hate skinny jeans too. I mean, how the hell is that even comfortable? But then again, it's still a very small percentage of dudes that are wearing them. At least, as far as I can tell. I think 10 years ago clothes were bigger than they were 5 years ago. There was a nice middle ground that we hit around 2003-2007 or so that I think most people - most sane people - are still ok with. In my experience anyway, maybe your school is different.

Well, there's always more bad music than good, but I dunno if I'd say that's what defines the past few years...

If, as a result, we get a sweet buggles song that will then be covered by every band ever, then I am alright with this development.

It's not going to be in this decade, most likely. We still need to get our infrastructure up to the point where the general public has access to internet above 5 Mbps. Which means laying a lot of fiber. Which probably won't happen this decade.

lol,

I think the 90's had a lot of people spoiled.  I'm starting to think I need to pick a girl from the younger generation because, if you buy them dinner, they don't complain that it was cheap.

@example1013: I don't know. Digital Distribution is already very popular with things like Netflix, XBLA, Steam, etc. 10 more years would give massive strides in making it the leading format. It would be more profitable for publishers too because they don't have to make thousands of thousands of packaging for every single item they sell. Steam should be a testament to just how successful DD is.

@xyzygy: I know digital distribution is quite popular, and Steam is successful, but how many people actually use steam? A million? 2? That's still less than 1% of the population. Just look at how Netflix digital traffic has affected usage times: it's getting up to 20% of total internet usage during peak hours. And netflix also probably only has a few million subscribers as well. We just can't support widespread digital distribution yet; the infrastructure can't handle it. And good luck trying to get government money to fix it; those congressmen would sooner kill all the people in need of a transplant than actually invest in something useful (as in, that's happened. Google Arizona transplant funding cuts to read about it).
 
And besides that, we just don't get the speed to actually stream blu-ray quality video. Tested did an article about signal quality a couple of weeks ago, and I'd suggest reading it to see what I mean.

I like the irony involved in saying tool and faggot in the same sentence, one being a compliment, the other an insult (except both are/can be insults).
