The first 10 years of the millennium saw the downfall of the music industry, as well as the movie industry, with just some exceptions here and there.
2000 - 2009 is the decade that will be remembered for boy bands (Backstreet Boys, N'Sync, 98 Degrees) and blonde haired teen girls (Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson) taking over the charts. Not to mention hiphop music still having a tight grip on the mainstream in all it's absurdity.
