Here is my take on things:1950s: BeBop, Birth of Rock&Roll (Elvis)
1960s: British Invasion, Psychedelic Rock.
1970s: Folk Rock, Southern Rock, Disco
1980s: Techno Rock, Punk Rock
1990s: Rap, HipHop Rap.
2000s: Rap, HipHop Rap????????? No Change?I cannot detect a significant change in music this decade. Can you?
Follow Ups:
I thought Disco lated too long, but Rap goes on & on...I am forced to listen to it everyday where the radio plays the same songs 4 to 5 times a day. I saw a program on PBS that delt with the commerical music companies hiring people to see what teenagers wanted...very scary :)

Another musical travesty of the last two decades has been the gentrification of "Country" music.Much of it could be rendered indistinguishable from other current Clear Channel pop music pap by a simple change of instrumentation.
It is a sad time indeed when artists like Johnny Cash and Emmy Lou Harris feel more comfortable in the midst of the Alt-Country artists than with Nashville.
that's pronounced "crap".

Since some of my favorite music comes from people of color...
I could listen to black noise, but then...that's rap.
'this decade' may not have begun yet. Read your description of the 60's - Would someone have described the music of 1962 as 'British Invasion, Psychedelic Rock'?Also - For the 90's, you forgot to mention Depression/Angst Rock.
Very true. It may be too early in the game this decade. It doesn't appear at this point that any significant shift in the music industry (music wise) is about to happen though.
I don't see one either but then, most new music comes from the minority subculture. Somewhere in Miami or San Francisco a new sound is being born now. It will probably be considered to be vulgar and of no redeeming value. The most obscene or violent aspect of it will get the most press. The majority culture will take it and make it more palatable for a wider audience. This is the decade of that sound.
