Yall. I feel tons of pressure to write a ‘best of year’/'best of decade’/'best of century post.’
I am not sure what I should take into consideration. Really want to ‘figure out’ the last decade, not just spooge over artists.
Who was the most relevant musician of the 2k0 decade?
How did ‘indie’ become what it is?
Who is ‘the most important artist of the decade’?
Is Radiohead the most important band of ‘our generation’?
Is ‘the Animal Collective’ too new 2 be considered on a best of decade list?
Which genres/bands ‘came and went’?
Was American Idol more relevant than the bloghouse/indie movement?
Are women important 2 the music scene?
Did 1 album/band change the world/scene?
Will ‘buzzbands’ exist in the next decade?
Who is ‘the beatles’ of the decade?
Do tweens know how to steal music since they never had a Napster console?
What genre/movement/band has been ‘overlooked’ in most Decade recapping posts?
Have black artists been over-represented by ‘respected’ music zine sites?
Which musician did the most for the betterment of the world, besides making critically acclaimed albums?
Are musicians ‘real humans’, ‘artists’ or ‘a whole nother beast’?
Do the Strokes still have alternative credibility?
Was the Arcade Fire really even ‘that good’?
What ever happened 2 ‘emo’?
When did u get ur first iPod?
Was 2k0 the best decade in the history of music?
Need yalls help. Not sure what just happened in the last decade.
Sorta miss 90s alt rock, back before there were so many alt-niches.

@generk witty cmmnt,
My loving mother kindly brought me into this world Tuesday, April 7, 1987. I am 22.673213 years old. I listened to the Arcade Fire for the first time in 2003 in my underwear after downloading their at-the-time unreleased ep ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcade_Fire_(EP) ). I was 16 years old. I was a virgin [via tragic altness]. It was unlike anything that I had ever downloaded [via DC++]. It was unlike anything Clear Channel Communications, Inc. had ever broadcast on the three radio stations my small town received. It smelled like a Tim Burton forest full of deviance and youth. Us kids know, Arcade Fire changed our lives. They played out of our car stereos [via 'burning mp3s to CD-R]. They played on our First Generation iPods. They played at our cabin boozefests. They played at our exchange student weekend retreats. They played out of the speakers at our friends’ weddings. They played with LCD Soundsytem October 6th, 2007, at Randall’s Island.
We kept the car running at the passion pits long before Sleepyhead.
Growing up in a super saturation of corporate and classic rock, Arcade Fire was somehow ours, it was fresh, it was okay to lose yourself in. And Neon Indian was a necessary catharsis to the Bush years.
generk witty cmmnt, I want to hug you right now. I feel old and nostalgic for the simpler days before this post-modern soup we’re all swimming in, before music could be explained in Six Songs. I miss the old days when music was a sport you could excel at. I miss worrying about ‘losing my edge’ back when blogging wasn’t just a bad case of narcissism and ADHD. I miss the mystery and magic before mp3s turned everything into a personalized egocast.

@ripples, this thread is hilarious. Arcade Fire is awesome, but they are no longer alt. That happened the day their song went into the trailer for ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ and the aqua-cize teacher at the pool where I work put it on her water aerobic mix tape. Wish I could video tape these old people bobbing up and down to the Arcade Fire for ya’ll. Thought you should know.

@Surfster,
‘In the third millennium there is to be:
~no myth but the business myth,
~no individuality but the thirty or so professionally-accepted psychographic market niches,
~no rebellion but the pre-programmed search for new [p4k reviews].
We will be able to achieve no distance from business culture since we will no longer have a life, a history, a consciousness apart from it.
It is making itself unspeakable, too big, too obvious, too vast, too horrifying, too much of a cliche to even begin addressing.
A matter-of-fact disaster, as natural as the supermarket, as resistible as air. It is putting itself beyond our power of imagining because it has become our imagination, it has become our power to envision, and describe, and theorize, and resist.”

@Genny Witty Shizm,
Thought claiming somebody ‘was no longer alt’ was tongue in cheek, as it is a tenuous concept not to be taken seriously and the youngsters seem to be talking mad shit on Arcade Fire.
Was not expecting a diatribe, that was epic.
Burroughs was in a Nike ad? Damn. Syringes have really taken over the big leagues.
You should seriously see these old folks doing aquacize to Arcade Fire though, it’s amazing.

Feel like I am ’supposed 2 think’ that the artist of the decade was Jay-Z. Feel like ‘I don’t rlly think that’.
But he does like theGrizzlingBears. So maybe.
Is it alt 2 pick an ‘artist of the decade’ w/an animal name in the band name? Feel like I should pick AnCo, GrizzBear, Panda Bear, FleetFoxing, the Mtn Goats, Wolf Parade, Wolfmothers, Dept of Grizzlings, Deerhuntings, Deerhooves, ModularMice, etc.

what do you guys think about radiohead? ‘kid a’ is apparently THE album of the decade. i dunno if i agree with that. just because they did it first doesn’t make it the best.

The Radioheads released many albums which received critical acclaim but which also ’sold a shit-ton’ of copies. They are the ‘Beatles’ of our generation.
The Animal Collectivists released a number of albums which were critically acclaimed and possibly more musically complex than the Radioheads’, but did not sell quite the ’shit-ton’ of albums that Radiohead did. The are the ‘Beach Boys’ of our generation.
The White Stripes released a number of albums to mild critical acclaim and their music is grounded in blues. They were also very popular via radio hits/7 nation army. They are the ‘Rolling Stones’ of our generation.
TV in the Radio represented a ‘new race’ breaking into a genre dominated by a different race. They are the ‘Eminem’ of our generation.
Girls is a band about expressing ur feelings. The Girls are from San Francisco and are always on drugs. They are the “1960s” of our generation.

I dont understand the hype, they are a total rip-off of jade tree records 90’s bands such as cap n jazz, joan of arc, dude, you don’t even have to dig that far to see where each band has ripped off, DP still have to grow a bit to get all the kudos that they are getting.

@generk witty cmmnt,
I can’t stop feeling like our age and access to broadband Internet are the two of the most important factors in determining the musical journey that we would take to become the alt we r today.
Since I was born in 1.9k87, I was only 13 when “we have the facts” and “4bidden luv” entered the world. I was “too young” – Phoenix. I was listening to trance, hard house, and ska with my bf who purchased “wheels of steel” from a dj catalog. haha it wasn’t until Pennsylvania Governor’s School of Information Technology, summer school, summer 2k4 that i realized [via fellow alts] that DCFC was an important band. i had downloaded “we have the facts” and “photo album”. he gave me [via flash drive] 4bidden luv and trans. i h8 2 admit it, but that band meant the world to me.
If i had been born a couple years earlier or later, DCFC might have meant more or less 2 me.

@grant golland, They are by no means my favourite band but I automatically associate their sound with the aims of the ‘indie’ aesthetic of our generation, though this just may be my Toronto bias.
Also I think it’s hard to ignore the influence of MGMT in shaping the sound and image of the past 2 years or so.
and I would also like to throw the words Daft Punk into discussion – I think it is crazy to overlook their work, even their late 90’s significance in the O’s
Finally though many would scoff at the mention I think Welcome to Jamrock by Damian Marley gave us the heaviest dirtiest – most autotune-free reggae single since god knows when. Listen to that shit again hipsters and tell me that doesn’t make you want to burn your neighbours house down.

1.Jay-Z was the most relevant musician, I’d have to give the nod to Lil Wayne actually
2.Most important artist? Beyonce?
3.To state it quick, YES THE FUCK THEY ARE
4.Wait… Um they’re new? I’m from Baltimore and fuck yeah the can be consider one of the best
5.Numetal, The Strokes dropped the ball, after about the first album Interpol went shit, Crunk got all distorted and just became part of normal hip-hop and went to crap, girls like Fiona, and Venessa Carlton also fell off
6.No, all the artist AI shitted out suck ass, except fantasia, Jordan Sparks and Kelly Clarkson, they haven’t had a real male sucess yet
7. Yes, but men make better music
8.Um… I don’t know, it was nothing in this decade that was super game changing like “Nevermind” or some shit, too many different sounds, too many fggt counter cultures that got stuck around Myspace and Youtube, there was no apathy generation X type crap one feeling shit
9.Buzzbands allways existed, the internet didn’t, before the internet you had to rely on an MTV, Internet not going no wher neither is dem buzz bands
10. Shit… just music wise, Radiohead! YEAH I SAID THAT SHIT! No real mainstrm band this decade has touched The Beatles in popularity. I would probably be some rapper like Kanye or Lil Weasle
11.Fuck Tweens, and you had to years to get down with new p2p and bittorrent and shit.
12.Seriously indie, yes I said it, it got lumped in with that emo shit this decade, and the most overlooked band? A lot, the most overlooked genre? Neo Soul, so shut the fuck up
13.As a black person. fuck yeah, half of the “revolutionary” rap, and hip-hop has been bullshit, and tired of hearing about Kanye making some mediocre CD about his Heart on and 808 that other lame, non hip blk kids didn’t here, tired of P4K dick riding that crappy Gucci mane, tired of Lil Wayne fggt in my face. Hip-Hop is old, we know you are multi cultured, give that shit a rest, black publications need to give more cite to dudes like TV On the Radio who show that niggers can do more than rap about money, bitches, and hoes
14.Bono Bro! Flaming Lips Bro(right?) a whole bunch of other bro
15.No, they’re too cool for the Facebook
16.Um… if they stop dicking around, um Juli Blanca’s solo deal was not mainstream enough so I say yeah, Strokes still have it
17.????????????????????????? Yeah
18.13 year old girls, anime freaks, 20 year old man-boys with bad hair and 12 year old boy voices hijacked it(see Panic! at the Disco)
19.I got my first iPod in 2006, I’m a young guy I’m 20.
20.2K0 fucking sucked for mainstream, mainstream is dead, if you look anywhere else yes there was good music… Know what fuck it, it was a good decade for music, if you weren’t looking in mainstream, better than the 90’s. but still Nirvana>>>>All

For me: First it was Bright Eyes, when I was a sad lil tween.
Then it was Boards of Canada in high school.
I can’t choose single bands anymore. Stars of the Lid have composed probably the most singularly beautiful music this decade. HEALTH managed to make noise rock that’s as catchy as pop. M.I.A. redefined what I perceived about ‘hip hop’.
People will say either The Radioheads or Animals Collection as the one and only band, depending on their level of ‘undergroundness’, but they’re obvious choices and leave a lot out of the picture. If anything, the 2000s were the decade where ‘a single, defining band’ ceased to matter.

-indie was born out of the world wide web and the killers’ song “indie rock & roll”
-artist of decade is prolly radiohead
-so i guess radiohead could be most important band of “our generation”
-anco is not 2 new to be considered because they formed in 2000, making them perfect for this decade
-emo totally came in our faces and then left. so did reggaeton, r.i.p. gasolina!
-american idle was only relevant to t.v. watchers, and i am 2 alt to have a t.v.
-womyn r important 2 the music scene because they r hot
-vampire weekend made white people like african music
-buzzbands will always exist
-the beatles are “the beatles” of the decade because their singles album “1″ is the bestselling album of the decade
-tweens only like vampires right? so they don’t listen to music
- religious rock was TOTES overlooked. praise jesus/adonai/allah/etc.
-alt music zines just over-represent black musicians on “best of” lists because they under-represent them the rest of the time
-jobros sing about diabetes – aka most undersung cause of all time
-musicians are human beings just like u & me. WE WISH.
-strokes don’t have alt cred, but every individual member does… weird
-arcade fire was really that good, and still are. i think
-emo took a poop
-first ipod in preskewl because i am 7 and parents are rich
-2k0 was not the best, sorta sad. but because i am 7, it is all i know.

Feel like if u were a ‘pretentious fuck’/'p4k blogger/reviewer’ u would say:
‘Animal Collective’s music didn’t so much as define this decade as it defied it. They were the one band who was consistently one step ahead of everyone else this decade, doing what no one else could even think of doing. No one even dared to try copying them, and for that reason, they are the band of the decade.’

OK.
1. Animal Collective is overrated.
2. Neon Indian was for me the most exciting music i heard this decade but is becoming too mainstream.
3. Jay Z was cool in the 90s, fuck his last album and all the hype he gets lately.
4. If the Girls Album or Neon Indian Psychic Chasms isn’t in your top ten of the decade, i might unsubscribe from your RSS feed.
5. I’m not sure why im typing a list with numbers like this, i think i saw someone else do it, and it looked fun.
6. Kanye West used to be a lot better early in the decade, though he did provide an amazing meme, that might be one of the greatest meme’s of all time.
7. Michael Jackson didnt mean shit to me.
8. I was born in 1983
9. I dont remember enough of the last 9 years to tell you about the whole decade.
10. i’m out ya’ll.

In terms of hip hop – and 00′ music in general I have to say the late/great J-dilla derserves a serious nod – Donuts is one of the finest hiphop albums of all time and his posthumous material like the shining or Ruff draft is practically lo-fi scripture – it’s blood can be seen smeared all over glo-fi (quit whining it’s a perfectly fine name).
Ghostface Killah takes my pick for greatest gangsta rapper of the decade big doe rehab – fishscale – i don’t care how tired hiphop has got I will listen to Ghostface rap about slinging crack anyday.
Also I think Mos def should get some respect along with the Roots

Totally don’t understand the deal with p4k love affairs with jayz and kanye and whoeverthefuck- it makes sense in certain scenarios ie. jayz toasting grizz or kanye using that guy who directed the justice vid – or if it has any relevance whatsoever to ‘our scene’ but if your goin to have a boner for the mainstream hip hop artists and not the guys experimenting and pushing it then they might as well be talk about mainstream rock charttoppers and the other garbage on the radio – which is all well and good – but out of place in an alternative music forum
In terms of women ‘indie heavyweights’ with huge (mainstream) critical acclaim like fiest, now karen oh, as well as regina spektor and others can be telling of female dominion in alt. music – plus their is a delicious irony of indie influence via mainstream acclaim. We all love irony here don’t we?

It’s just so weird how Animal Collective is unanimously excepted as the greatest band/song/album of the decade/century by everyone who listens to music.

Weird how they started at the very beginning of the decade and released their opus at the very end. Like they’re a band just for us.
