For every decade since the 50s.

I was thinking the other day of all the music fashions and subcultures over the years like mods and rockers in the 60s, punks and skin heads in the 70s, Goth in the 80s etc.
teenagers are more likely to adopt a style and attachment to these and so I wondered which I would have grasped onto had I been a teenager in the other decades. Sadly, I was a teenager in the 00's (2004 time) and there didn't seem to be anything exciting and new. I still believe this was a terrible time for music, most of us were just listening to older stuff like Nirvana and embraced styles that weren't really new.

In the 60s I reckon I would have been a rocker, perhaps got involved in the psychedelic scene as well. I'm not keen on it now but then it would have all been new and exciting. in the 70s I would have been a glam rocker and perhaps been a closet punk later on. in the 80s an indie kid for sure. like the punk thing I don't think I'd want to be too extreme in my appearance by dressing Goth So those are some examples, I'd like to hear yours.

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.

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.

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.
