2000s¶
2000s Overview¶
This project includes albums from a span of 66 years, and over one quarter of them are from the 10 year span covered on this page. One of the interesting things about being born in the first year of a decade is that the phases of my life align with the decades in a very direct way. This is the music of my 20s, a time of great personal development, and the time when I connected with pop music most deeply. It was the rise of hip-hop and indie. It was a time when disruptive technologies changed the way music was made and sold. It was a time when the innovators started to break from the mainstream of pop music, but the internet still helped them find an audience. I’m glad that I got to be young, but not too young in such interesting times.
