Technically 2000s is from 2000 to 2009, but personally

98 - 99 is it's own lil pocket era
...and 2000 to 2003 is it's own pocket era as well. So I always count those in of themselves. To me the 2000 era doesn't start till like 2003. You could say the 90's ended when pac and big died, and the 2000s doesn't start till Jay retired and 50/ Kanye took over.

With that being said....

Saying it pales in comparison to previous decades is a point of opinion. There are only two previous decades to compare it to...

We are all a little biased to the eras in which we grew up. Some of us more than others. I'll say by comparison, alot of 90s shyt is overrated. I've never tried to do a side by side 90s vs 00s (who got time for that? Lol), but I can also appreciate both eras for what they were. As well as the 80s...

2000s is underrated from the standpoint that when old, bitter haters reference the 00s, they have the tendency to do two things: 1)lump the whole era as "ringtone rap" when that shyt was a 2-3 year stretch within the larger period, and 2)lump in the 2000s with the current era. The sounds and styles and artists that were hot in '15 were completely different than the like in '05. Music and sports eras are defined by the decades, yet with the 00s, everybody acts like 2017 hip hop is the same generation as 2003 hip hop. Only with the 2000s are old, bitter haters so selectively inconsistent...

Nobody says the music in '96 was the same era as '88...

Facts.
