Best songs of the 00s' ?
Off the top of my head I can't think of many, enlighten me.
Edit: hm guess I'll need a time machine to see great music in the making, 70s' here I come, anyone want to join me? (totally not a suicide cult, but I will need your money and belongings so you can blend in)
EDIT2: yeah... seeing mostly pop music here, not my cup of tea. Only a couple mentioned that I like.
Sincerely yours... the music nazi
EDIT3: hey, I forgot about SOAD, you better be fucking grateful 00s', you've been redeemed... partially.
EDIT4: While there may be a few songs to me that were good, and looking at the songs posted, this last decade kind of sucked ass music wise.
EDIT5: Here is the top 100 songs of the decade based on records. Looks like Hey ya really is the top dog of the decade. Tell me, how many of them do you like? Out of these, I only like 15 of them.

reddit, i love you, but for a community that takes ever possible opportunity to dump on 'hipsters', you sure do enjoy a lot of their music
Hating on hipsters is a tell-tale sign of a hipster.
"I fucking hate hipsters." - Every hipster I know
Incidentally:
"I fucking hate ravers." - Every raver I knew, 10 years ago
(Prior to that I'm sure goths and punks likely said the same thing)
This is so true. Goths certainly did - it was a running joke that no goth would ever admit to being one. The bands did it too. For example, Fields of the Nephilim, probably as stereotypically goth a band as you could get, would instead refer to their music as spaghetti metal.
Goths also shared many other hipster characteristics: love of the arcane, esoteric or simply obscure, vain fashion-sense, practiced bored aire, sense of intellectual superiority coupled with a vague persecution complex etc. In some ways hipsters are closer to their spiritual successors than emos are (love how all the hipsters are going to take that statement).
Any punk, on the other hand, could give you a lecture on the true meaning of punk (according to them): any time, any where. Most are fairly proud to be punk.
Yeah, punks kinda had it backwards... while everybody else says how much they hate the subculture they are obviously a part of, punks would deride the entire culture and say it wasn't really punk.
And the real funny part of it is that Hipsters came pretty directly from the punk scene (or at least, the post-punk scene of the 80's, and the emo-punk scene of the 90's... which is nothing like what they call "emo" now).

I think it's unfortunate that all new, experimental, interesting, and progressive music is labeled as "hipster" music.
It's like we have to choose between the shit we here on the radio all the time, or the shit that nobody has ever heard of. Either way, someone is going to make fun of it.
If a song's good, a song's good. It bugs me when people choose to like songs based on who the artist is.
Precisely, which is why the HIPSTER music label bugs me.
That's such a broad generalization. What experimental, interesting, progressive music do you mean?
I am not saying that all hipster music is experimental, interesting, or progressive music, I suppose.
What I mean to say is that said music is often labeled as hipster music.
Lay down some artists broseph
Yeah, hating on hipsters is so 2009. C'mon guys, it's the new decade already!
I think there is a difference between liking hipster music and acting like a hipster, just like I like gagsta rap without being a thug.
Pretty much, reddit is a bunch of hipsters who miss out on the PBR drinking and sexing up of hipster women.
What kills me is they're all the most popular indie songs too. i.e. the ones that are probably on 1,000,000 ipods yet people still think they are one of a select few to listen to the artist...
"their music"
give me a fucking break
every hipster i know reads reddit religiously
Just because you like the same music as hipsters doesn't mean you are one. I consider myself an indie kid, but not a hipster, and I hate going to shows/telling people what kind of music I like sometimes because there are so many asshole hipsters that ruin it for me. I'm sure there are countless people who like the same things as you, but who are total assholes-- doesn't necessarily mean you are on the same level as them because of shared interest.
The thing is, "Hipster Music" tends to be the most creative, inventive and exciting music out there.
so the music is ok but the people who make it are asshats?
No, the people who hate on it because "hipsters" like it are asshats.
agreed
I beg to differ. My god. Hipsters and their ilk are some of the most repressed, conformist people in the world, and don't try to tell me there weren't about a million bands that sounded just like the Arcade Fire in the first few years after their first LP came out.
