2000 - 2009: How Will This Decade Be Remembered?

[BlackMetalWhiteGuy]

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.

I guess this is the state of popular metal today.

Hahaha, your sentiments mirror mine perfectly

I actually have three lady friends who are epic weeaboos and are obsessed with Dir En Grey, and can talk endlessly about how exotic and culturally significant they are. It's really hard to take the band seriously though, because every time someone plays one of their songs for me, it just sounds like an even more annoying version of nu-metal. It's also quite discouraging, considering that I'm a fan of Alhambra who is infinitely more experimental than Dir En Grey has ever been.

In terms of popular media, it was a great decade for television, and a very poor one for film.

Any decade in which Firefly gets canceled after 14 episodes is an abysmal one for television.

 

[Anticitizen One]

The '90s had Twin Peaks. I'd say things have gone downhill.

 

[BlackMetalWhiteGuy]

The '90s were great for animated series.

Batman
Gargoyles
Pirates of Dark Water
X-Men

The late '90s introduced Futurama, Family Guy and South Park.

The only decade that even comes close is the '80s, and only because of Thunder Cats.

EDIT: Oh wait, the '80s also had Blackstar, Challenge of the GoBots, Masters of the Universe, Transformers and Wheeled Warriors.

You're canceled.

Also, Lost was this decade, so your opinion is void.

The success of Lost is embarrassing, tbh. It's not that horrible, but many people find it awesome, which is just sad.

I forgot about this earlier, but American Idol pretty much flipped the kill switch for this decade.

The Office anyone?

Just because something's a fad doesn't mean it can't be awesome.

These don't work so well out of context, but still pretty entertaining.
