2000 - 2009: How Will This Decade Be Remembered?

[Dak]

The decade where the US paid for free trade.

 

[mutantllama]

I think the best thing about this decade is the technology.

without aging

Not that I am not miffed by emo being bastardized into something completely unrelated to the original form (mind you I don't mind the current form, just would rather it be called something else.)

I'm a big screamo fan and I feel the same way, but what can you do. There is no alternative.

You can start by putting a question mark on a question.

 

[Caecius]

Just consult Vh1's "I Love the New Millennium".

I did not know this about you. I am a big screamo fan as well.

THE REBIRTH OF METAL

Metal was still alive in the 90s with the black and death metal music and in the late 90s with the comeback of power metal.

Another thing I've noticed is that a lot of older things became in style again.

 

[The Ozzman]

I accidentally the whole decade

Cool. What bands? (maybe take this discussion to the non-metal thread)

What older things became in style again?

Simultaneously, patch vests, knee-high socks, high water jeans, the greaser style, biker shorts, pacifiers, homemade clothing, dick trunks, and others.

And chicks who dress like Bettie Page. Ugh.

To non-metal we go!

 

[Eligos]

And chicks who dress like Bettie Page. Ugh.

You mean burlesque dancers?

 

[divine_torture]

No, I think they're shooting to look like her specifically. And greaser whores of the period.

 

[Ankalupe]

here in southamerica....awful decade, only bad copycats from europe and the states, too much faggots!!!

but according with music great releases..

 

[Anticitizen One]

Blabbermouth apparently felt we needed to know that James Hetfield attended a Dir en grey concert. Surely this is one of the biggest events of the decade! (Yes, I am being mildly sarcastic.)

I couldn't help but throw in my two cents.

So if Dir en grey are "experimental" then Metallica are still on the cutting edge of thrash metal? Dir en grey may have at one time, very early in their career, been described as a quirky glam band, which is basically all visual kei is, whatever pretentious fangirls might say about it. However, after a few albums and nowadays they've come to be nothing but a nu metal band that people find "exotic" or "experimental" because they're Japaneeeezu. There's nothing "progressive" or "noisy" about them, unless you think Linkin Park are avant-garde (lol). Maybe we can call them nu glam rock. Weeaboo poseur metal. High-class mall trash. A band that rode one cultural trend into worldwide success via another cultural trend, all in poor taste. Be sure and tell us when Hetfield catches the latest episode of Naruto, Blabbermouth.

I guess this is the state of popular metal today.
