Back in middle school I was into the local south florida emo/hardcore scene since some of my best friends were in a band. After some years of only listening to bands from the 70s I got into the ska-punk scene - I saw streetlight and reel big fish 5 times each and skanked like the skapocalypse was coming.

ska was the most prominent live fixture for me and my friends in the early 00's. most people my age saw reel big fish for their 1st ever gig. I'll be seeing them play with less than jake and zebra head in feb and i can't wait!

I'm pretty envious of those who lived/are living in the UK Dubstep culture, so I'll go with that.

Closest thing to a scene I'm currently in would be SF Garage Punk Revival, I guess.

Being part of a scene means going out and finding it and being an active part of it not waiting for it to come to you...

So as lethal said... go out to local gigs, hang out at clubs, play music with your mates... get involved! That's how scenes start and evolve!

Do all that and then you too can tell 'I was there' stories when you get to your 40s that make you look a million times cooler to the young 'uns than you actually ever were!

gonna have to disown that phrase now.

Where I live is too small for a real scene, and I'd no doubt not be part of it if one did exist.

70's: Heavy Metal. 80's: Glam Metal. 90's: Grunge. Of course.

Sorry, I usually ignore them. I just felt like it today. I don't know why.

The 2000's were the information age and that title pretty much tells you alot. It was the age of sharing, mass awareness, the internet music user bleeding into the population; this is not to say genres were not crafted and scenes did not exist either, but I connect the 2000s musically to the dawn of filesharing, youtube, and music sites like Myspace and Purevolume. An age of passion and re-discovery as music began to be created at an exponential rate.

Over here in my part of the Detroit Metro the most popular scene was the advent of the melodic metalcore scene.

I think it's better that there were so many different movements going on. Therefore, instead of following the crowd, and liking the most popular music, people could decide what they liked for themselves.

In 2004 I was going to indie gigs like every week, The Libertines, The Datsuns, Maximo Park, all that shitty NME shit that looking back was terrible but at the time was fun as fuck. Rocking skinny jeans and getting drunk off cheap vodka. The scene was lively. Then along came dubstep, and that was lively too. Just out of interest, where did you grow up? Because being a teenager in Brum was banging.

Don't get me wrong, I had a great time going to gigs, there just didnt seem to be an exciting original movement

I agree that the 2000s weren't wrought with much culture... I mean compared to past generations... there wasn't "the scene" it was just a mixture of stuff... it really was a time of looking back, The Strokes for example wasn't really a new sound. The White Stripes as well. They were old sounds rehashed. There was no big band that every one followed... except maybe Radiohead... but they played their part in the 1990s too, so it wasn't really a 2000s thing. If there was a following it purposely didn't turn into anything in fear of losing their Indie-ness. I would agree that a lot of people were still listening to Nirvana, as the last "greats" to change the scene.

The 2000s for me was filled with a bunch of small scenes trying to make cultural influence, but because the realms of influence they had were so small, it was insignificant. Making me feel like the 2000s didn't have much cultural significance, in music at least. Everybody was trying to be a hipster and ruined it all... hehe.

As far as picturing me in another time period... honestly, not solely because of the music, but the overall quality of life, I would have loved to live in Jena, Germany during the Enlightenment/Romantic time period and chilled with the likes of Kant, Fichte, Goethe, Schiller, etc. Or maybe a bit later with Wagner or Marx. Of course I would be living in their social class, otherwise life would have been shit.
