i didnt listen to it tbh just assumed it would serve as a marker
the 2000s: worst era in recorded music?
- Thread starter luka
- Start date
no cos grime was good, as was early dubstep.
Yeah, I meant, it disproves the threads contention

what about it? it's great but it's done by 2004. likewise i enjoy a lot of the dancehall from the same era, lots of the R&B, lots of the gormless rap... things get worse and worse as the decade progresses though.

in what way? is the contention of the thread that no good music was made in this time period?

it doesn't really, it was a relatively minor scene of a relatively minor corner of dance music.
hence it being susceptible to connoisseur recuperation in the 10s. noone with good taste is reviving electro house or hardstyle! Quite the opposite in fact, those reviving such scenes make a big deal about their bad taste, which is kind of nauseating in the sense that they don't interrogate why such standards of taste develop.
I left uni and was on the dole for a bit. Then I was making films for a bit. Then moved to London, worked a series of odd jobs. Was back up north by the end of the decade. Broadly speaking a good time, tho skint most of the time. I always had something good to listen to tho. Rinse at that time, mid 2000s, was very good.
No, but you said it was the worst era. So Im saying it also produced grime, literally one of the best music's ever.

which goes to show how rich the relatively brief history of recorded music is. because objectively this is the worst era.
having said that i saw going to specify the second half of the decade but the thread title would have got a bit
cumbersome
What are you on about. It was huge. It defines the early 2000s.
What were you doing in the early 2000s thirdform?
2005-10 was like flylo and Rustie and all that. I still listen to one of those mixes from time to time but I can't recall much else from that era.

this is ahistorical. you were not listening to grime in that era. almost no one was.

I have a sick fascination with the 2002-2005 era of rock, the interregnum between nu-metal and emo where The Darkness were the biggest band in Britain and everyone loved Tenacious D.
