The 2000s have seen much change in musical taste. Most notably, Electronic dance music (house, techno, drum'n'bass) have entered the mainstream.

The beginning of the decade heralded the peak and decline of Boy bands and Girl groups, notably those produced from reality TV shows. Electronic music became more popular over traditional acoustic music of the 90's. Meanwhile, hip-hop music has dominated the Billboard Hot 100 list for most of the decade so far.

Around 2002-2003, musical tastes started to change again. Alternative music became less popular, while electropop and the like became more mainstream. However, Hip Hop/Rap still remained dominant in the mainstream, rising to heights unseen.

Towards the end of 2002, in the aftermath of the raw, American rock'n'roll of the late 90s, British electronic and rock band began to burst onto the music scene. Among the leaders of this new Britrock pack were Franz Ferdinand, Kasabian, Razorlight, Ladytron and The Libertines. Some took their themes directly from the Britpop movement of the early eighties, while others focused on developing their own sound.

These bands paved the way for other British bands like Kaiser Chiefs, Bloc Party and The Futureheads, who sound similar to bands like Blur, Suede and Pulp. Although their sound may have been modified to suit the new generation of music fans, the overall feel and excitement in their music is still evident.
