Genre of the Decade?

[Kizza]

Lol, Grammy's.

 

[Chuck Taylor's Grenade]

The grammy's lost all their credibility when Jethro Tull won best metal band over Metallica.

 

[Moonlight Drive]

The Grammys have never had an inch of credibility. It's just a big record company circle jerk.

 

[Chuck Taylor's Grenade]

Nearly all awards ceremony's are political corporate circle jerks. Oscars, Grammys, Golden Globes, Emmy's. The people who win are the ones who suck dick the best.

In regards to the aforementioned Jethro Tull over Metallica in the metal category, there's a reason the Grammys are called the Grannys.

^Or when the fucking Baha Men won a grammy for the most annoying song in history.

If anything I'd say rap defined this decade. It's spilled over into every other form of music, listened to by pretty much every race and influenced everything from fashion to movies. So yeah, I'd say rap.

THIS ^^

Plus you have artists outside of that genre trying their hand at rap (I'm lookin at you Taylor Swift) whether it's for kicks or an actually song or an album (looking at you Lonely Island).

In all honesty, pop. It's pop by a far margin. Hip hop and rap became pop under many artists. Lil Wayne isn't a rapper, he's a pop artist, same as Kanye West. Rock became pop with alot of the garage sound bands. The "emo" and "punk" groups became pop. And of course acts like Justin Timberlake, Avri Lavegne, Hannah Montanna, The Jonas Brothers and so forth so more albums than any rappers or rockers or punks or country boys. MTV, once the outlet for buzz bands and diamonds in the rough became a pop station. Pop music from Soulja Boy to Fallout Boy dominated the decade. The 2000's are the pop decade more than any decade since the 50's. Not only did rap influence fashion, so did the faggy "Emo" bands with all these youngsters wearing those tight jeans and stupid snow caps and whatever the flavor of the month was, which was usually a pop phenomenon, and MTV had alot to do with it. In the 80's the video killed the radio star, and in the 2000's MTV killed independent thought in music.

I honestly look at all popular genre's as a sub division of pop. Anything that is played on MTV and the radio is pop music imo

^^^ Definitely on MTV, but I dunno about the radio. On the radio you have stations for different genres and get a whole lot of different stuff that usually wouldn't appear on MTV unless it's a Viacom owned station or a pop station.

 

[straight_edge76]

Yeah, well thne radio stations where I am at are basically just like MTV in what they play for the most part, of course some of them play stuff that doesn't get huge amount of MTV play.
