And you are purposely being very, very, very vague.

Nope. You're missing the fundamental point of what I said. I didn't say that each prior decade had a definitive
style, I said each prior decade gave birth to distinctive
styles. I used the plural for a reason (there was punk
and heavy metal in the 70s for example). So the problem isn’t that the 00s don’t have one definitive style (coz lets face it, if it did it would be horrid) it’s that it doesn’t have any truly distinctive
styles.
Almost everything I’ve heard has been genericized lightweight versions of music taken from other decades, mostly the 80s and 90s. Is some of good? Probably, but is it as good as the source material? Almost never.
