2. Key bands/artists
• Eminem
• Daft Punk
• Lady Gaga
• Christina Aguilera
• Fall Out Boy
3. • In the 21st century, pop music, hip hop
music, contemporary R&B, new
wave, country and alternative rock dominated
and defined the decade's music.
• Hip hop began to mix with electro pop, synth-
pop and dance music by end of the decade,
and some other artists began to revive the
genre.
4. Hip Hop
• Hip hop dominated popular music in the 2000s.
• Artists such as Eminem, 50 Cent, OutKast, The
Black Eyed Peas, T.I., Kanye West, Nelly, Nas, Jay-
Z, Missy Elliott, Lil Wayne, The
Game and Ludacris were among the dominant
mainstream hip hop artists to have represented
the Hip hop genre for the decade.
• Distinct regional differences also developed
outside of the hip hop/rap strongholds of the
1990s, New York City and Los Angeles.
5. Rock
• Rock remained popular in the beginning of the
decade, despite the increasing popularity of hip-
hop, but experienced a diminished presence on
mainstream music charts by the end of the
decade. Modern rock as a radio format
experienced a sharp decline, with high-profile
cornerstone stations like WLIR-FM, K-Rock in New
York City and WBCN in Boston flipping to other
formats. New York City, once the leading market
for the format, has only one modern rock station,
101.9 WRXP-FM.
6. Indie Rock
• During the mid 2000s, bands such as Modest
Mouse and Arcade Fire released Indie
rock albums that broke into the mainstream and
gave Indie rock recognition. The late 2000s also
saw more Indie Rock bands such as MGMT, LCD
Soundsystem, Grizzly Bear, and Vampire
Weekend gain popularity around the world,
including the United States, thanks to the rise of
independent internet music blogs. The rising
popularity of Internet radio has led to high album
sales, despite little or no radio play for Indie rock
bands.
7. Hard Rock and Heavy Metal
• During the early 2000s, a new wave of metal began
with interest in the newly emerging genre nu
metal and genres of a similar style such as rap
metal and the later mainstream success rap rock. The
popularity of nu metal music carried over from the late
1990s, where it was introduced by early work from
bands such as Korn,Deftones, Limp
Bizkit, Slipknot and Coal Chamber, into the
early 2000s with the similar genre, rap rock, bringing in
a wave of monster-hit artists such as System of a
Down, Evanescence, Staind, Papa Roach,
and Disturbed.
8. • The success of Korn's third studio
album, Follow The Leader, brought nu metal
to the mainstream. Linkin Park's debut
album Hybrid Theory, released in 2000, sold
over 29 million copies worldwide. The band's
next album Meteora is the most successful
album on the Modern Rock Tracks chart.
However, by 2002 and 2003, there were signs
that nu metal's mainstream popularity was
weakening.
9. Pop Punk
• A second wave of pop punk bands emerged in the
2000s such as Good Charlotte, New Found Glory,
and Sum 41, who made use of humour in their videos
and had a more radio-friendly tone to their music,
while retaining the speed, some of the attitude and
even the look of 1970s punk. More recent pop-punk
bands, including Simple Plan, All-American
Rejects and Fall Out Boy, have a sound that has been
described as closer to late 1970s and early 1980s
hardcore, with similarities to the band Cheap Trick,
while still achieving considerable commercial success.
10. • More 1980s and 1990s influenced pop-rock and
pop-punk bands emerged into mainstream punk
circa 2008, with their popularity bolstered by
the Vans Warped Tour, included artists such
as Forever The Sickest Kids, The Summer Set, The
Maine, We The Kings, Boys Like Girls, and so on.
This trend continues into the 2010s.
• In addition, some of the most successful pop-
punk bands in the 1990s, such as Green
Day, Weezer, Blink-182 and The Offspring, also
continued their success during the 2000s.
11. Emo
• Emo, an underground genre in the 1990s, broke into mainstream
culture in the early 2000s with the platinum-selling success
of Jimmy Eat World's Bleed American (2001) and Dashboard
Confessional's The Places You Have Come to Fear the
Most (2003). The new emo had a far greater appeal amongst
adolescents than its earlier incarnations. At the same time, use of
the term "emo" expanded beyond the music world, becoming
associated with fashion, hairstyle, and other aesthetic attributes of
culture.
• In recent years the term emo has been applied by critics and
journalists to a variety of artists, including multi-platinum acts such
as Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance and disparate groups
such as Paramore and Panic at the Disco, even when they protest
the label.
• The popularity of emo music peaked in 2005-2006.
12. Pop
• Teen Pop continued to be an extremely popular genre
in the early 2000s with success of teenage pop-
singers Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. Britney's
"Oops!...I Did It Again" and Christina's "Come On Over
Baby (All I Want Is You)" become huge hits in the year
2000. By 2001, however, the teen-pop trend dissolved
dramatically due to modern R&B and hip-
hop influenced music that later dominated throughout
the middle of the decade. Britney Spears's 2001
album Britney and Christina Aguilera's 2002
album Stripped are examples of teen pop artists
transitioning from teen pop to more grown-up,
modern R&B influenced records.
13. • After 9/11, a new "teen pop-rock" movement began. While
girl pop-rock singers such as Alanis
Morissette and Jewel were popular in the 1990s, they had
declined in popularity after 1998 when the pop princesses
such as Britney Spears debuted. Avril Lavigne was arguably
the first and lead artist to take this new direction in pop
music, with hits such as "Complicated", "Sk8er Boi", "I'm
with You" at the beginning of the decade and "Girlfriend" at
the end, Lavigne leads this genre throughout all the decade
worldwide, with her contemporaries, such stars as Michelle
Branch and Vanessa Carlton, not far behind with their own
success. Other prominent girl pop-rock artists of the 2000s
included Pink, Hilary Duff, and Ashlee Simpson. Later artists
reflecting the genre include Selena Gomez & the
Scene, Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry and Taylor
Swift.
14. Adult Contemporary
• Adult contemporary music (also known as "soft rock" or
"lite-rock"), began to somewhat decrease in popularity
starting in the late '90s (due to the increasing popularity of
Top 40 music) into January 2000 until September 11th,
2001. After 9/11, popularity for Adult Contemporary Music
(as well as Contemporary Christian Music crossovers)
increased tri-fold during the grieving process, when the 25-
44 Conservative Female Demographic favored listening to
songs with appropriate, positive and uplifting lyrics
containing love and hope. Upon the eventual return back to
normalcy after 9/11, the popularity of Adult Contemporary
music held steady until about 2003, when Billboard began
to change their chart formats.
15. Contemporary RnB
• The continued popularity of contemporary R&B was
seen during this decade in the global success of
established artists such as Beyoncé,Mariah
Carey, Jennifer Lopez and Usher, whose careers began
in the 1990s and continued in the dawn of the new
millennium. The year 2001, in particular its summer,
has been described as a golden age for contemporary
R&B and urban soul music, with artists such as Jill
Scott, Mariah Carey and Destiny's Child, who paved the
way for Alicia Keys, Blu Cantrell, and the revival
of Aaliyah.
16. Technology
• In the first decade of the 21st century consumers
began to use computers and computer networks
as the primary means to record, distribute, store
and play music.
• This technological shift caused widespread
economic changes and fundamentally changed
the relationships between artists, record
companies, promoters, retail music stores, the
technology industry and the consumer.
17. • The rise of digital music consumption options
contributed to a few fundamental changes in
consumption. First the decline of album sales.
With the A la carte sales models increasing in
popularity, consumers no longer download
entire albums but rather choose single songs.
• The initial stage (from approximately 1998 to
2001) of the digital music revolution was the
emergence of peer-to-peer (P2P) networks
that allowed the free exchange of music files
(such as Kazaa and Napster).
18. • By 2001, the cost of hard drive space had
dropped to a level that allowed pocket-sized
computers to store large libraries of music.
The iPod and iTunes system for music storage
and playback became immensely popular, and
many consumers began to transfer their
physical recording media (such as CDs) onto
computer hard drives.
19. Internet Music Sites
• YouTube (owned by Google Inc.) is the main site
for finding music videos for both independent
bands and mainstream bands that have released
their music on CD or digitally, while also being
useful for finding rare songs.
• YouTube is a multimedia provider, so it is difficult
to say how much entertainment it has provided
to music consumers, however it did provide
about one-third of all 11 billion online video
views in the US in the month of April 2008.
20. Mobile Music
• MP3 players
• Rise of MP3 players, in October 2001, Apple unveiled
the first generation iPod, with the development of a
minimalistic user interface and a smaller form factor, the
iPod was initially notable within users of
the Macintosh community.
• In July 2002, Apple introduced the second generation
update to the iPod. It was compatible
with Windows computers through Musicmatch
Jukebox (now known as Y!Music Musicmatch Jukebox). The
iPod series, which grew to include microdrive and flash-
based players, has become the market leader in DAPs.
21. Smart Phones
• The 21st century saw the birth of 3G enabled
mobile phones.
• The key advantage of 3G enabled phones over
MP3 players is their greater web integration. This
enables users to readily access a far larger
quantity of songs than MP3 player users can.
• For an MP3 player, songs must be stored before
the user leaves their computer, but with 3G
enabled phones the device is not separated from
the source.
