Most notably, that particular genre certainly ranks among the most polarizing in music history. Part of that stems from the beginning of that decade taking place when I was in college, when musical tastes are forming, but also because a number of multiplatinum acts arose from the decade's early years. Call it whatever you want, but that’s what jumps out when I think of the decade in music.
Personally, I will always associate the 2000s with early Linkin Park and other bands of that ilk. In short, does rock's 2000s era have no real definition whatsoever? Hell, LP were still relevant some 17 years after their debut record, Hybrid Theory, stormed the radio and exploded into the mainstream.īut although we may look back on '90s rock and immediately think “grunge,’ the 2000s are a somewhat different animal altogether, in that it’s hard to associate the decade with one particular type of music. After all, they were without question the most successful band to emanate from the nu-metal/rap-rock era of the 2000s. That held true for the grunge era upon Cornell’s passing, and it holds equally true for 2000s-era rock with respect to Bennington and Linkin Park. When an unfortunate passing takes place, particularly in music, it often provides a chance to reassess a particular musical era. Ironically enough, his death took place on what would have been his dear friend Chris Cornell’s birthday (Cornell too died via hanging back in May.) As you know doubt have heard, front man Chester Bennington died via hanging on Thursday. So, yeah, how we view something at one point may very well differ at another point in time. It’s the same reason many Chainsmokers fans will, years down the road, look back on their fandom of the group as a joke, mostly because the Chainsmokers are terrible. This explains why former “things,” from the Macarena to the Spice Girls, are considered comical in hindsight. The way we view a certain band, singer or movement in the moment is often contradictory to how we view it years later.

That’s why this whole “embrace debate” mantra you see littered across sports and news television is somewhat silly wouldn’t we be better off processing our thoughts before spouting opinions on everything from politics to NBA free agency? Certainly stands to reason.
Often when looking back on a certain point in time, one may view that time differently than when they were actually in that very point in time.
