Music

The last few years has also seen a great deal of popularity in the mainstream pop music genre due to the television show American Idol.
Since the year 2000, there has also been an explosion in a musical genre commonly referred to as "emo." This genre got its name because the music characteristic of this genre is emotional because of the heartfelt lyrics and melancholy melodies.
Music has always followed a pattern in a culture and one genre of music is soon replaced by another in terms of popularity and record sales. Popular musicians can often build a fan base that will continue to buy their albums as long as they make them while other bands tend to be one-hit wonders that society never hears from again.

Bands

Snow Patrol had humble beginnings as an indie band, but after signing to Interscope Records, the band's popularity skyrocketed in the United Kingdom. In the summer of 2005, Snow Patrol got the ultimate kudos for an Irish-bred band; they were asked to tour as the opening act for legendary band U2.

Styles

One of the first types of music that comes to mind when the 2000s are mentioned. Hip-hop, which was more popular in big cities such as New York and Los Angeles in the 90s, spread to different geographies by reaching larger audiences by the 2000s. 2000's hip-hop became colourful with rappers like Camron making statements in pink clothing. Something rappers from previous decades wouldn't be caught in. Clothing was extremely street based at the time with baggy jeans and t-shirts, basketball jerseys, fitted caps and fresh kicks being sported. ​The 2000's were a time to be alive for the many iconic moments hip-hop gave us. Hip-Hop in the next decade would become almost purely digital and break the internet.

Another prominent music genre in 2000; Post-grunge. It inspiration from darker genres, like punk and metal, post-grunge transformed the thick guitar sounds and candid lyrical themes of the Seattle bands into an accessible, often uplifting mainstream aesthetic. post-grunge was ubiquitous on modern and mainstream radio, confidently competing with alt-metal and rap-rock for listeners. Still, many fans of the original grunge bands detested what they perceived as the macho earnestness of these new groups, particularly Creed and Nickelback, who became emblematic of the genre's artistic limitations and watered-down approach.
