Jumping Into the Early 2000s

The early 2000s is where the rock genre didn’t change very much. There were a few changes from the previous “Grunge Rock”. The bands that where big in the early 2000s were Simple Plan, Three Days Grace, Papa Roach, and 3 Doors Down. They had the same sound as the grunge rock phase but these bands did not have the same “Grunge” to their music. Some of my favorite songs from Simple plan are You Suck at Love, Addicted, and I’d Do Anything. Some of my favorite songs from Three Days Grace are I Hate Everything About You, Bitter Taste, and Animal I Have Become. Scars, Last Resort, and I Almost Told You That I Loved You are my favorite songs from Papa Roach. 3 Doors Down also had a lot of great songs as well, Kryptonite, Not My Time, and When I’m Gone. These are just a few songs from these big bands of the 2000s that I love.

The biggest genre of the early 2000s was probably R and B and Hip Hop. With these groups, they were mostly just one person and had people play in the background or had recorded tracks When they performed. So instead of say Motley Crue where they had four main people. “Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx, Mick Mars, and Tommy Lee” they would have one person, for example Big Sean or Lil Wayne. Some of the other big artists from these genres are Lil John, Beyoncé, Flow Rida, and Alicia Keys. They appealed to more of the younger crowd. I remember when I was in middle school everyone loved that song Sexy Can I by Ray Jay. Parents were concerned about this type of music because a lot of it as about sex, drugs and alcohol and they did not want it to affect their kids in a negative way. Some of the big songs in this genre were Low by Flow Rida, Crazy in Love by Alicia Keys, Single ladies by Beyoncé, and Yeah by Lil John. Even though I was not the biggest fan of this genre, it was still very popular and really changed the sound of music today.
