After that of the 80s and 90s, now the pop of the 1900s returns
In Italy the passage of light reopened it Paola and Chiaraby moving the hands of the time of twenty years, returning to recanting Hit as “Festival”, “Viva el Amor”, “Amoremidai”, “Until the end” and “in my own way” with colleagues from the generation following theirs such as Elodie, Ana Mena, Levante, Emma and Noemi, relaunching one of the most profitable brands of Italian pop. Abroad i Blue they returned to make music together and fill the arenas, i Nickelback They took a revenge on haters with the documentary “Hate to Love”, Dr. Dre He conquered the Super Bowl by dusting off the iconic sound of the American rap of the early 2000s (together with him Mary J. Blige, Eminem, Snoop Dogg and also 50 cents). Among the stars of the new pop, Charli XCX with “Brat” revived the Club Culture of 00s And Tate McRae He earned the title of “Britney Spears of the Z generation” by relaunching the aesthetic that characterized the “Toxic” voice in the golden years. It is known that the trend cycles repeat every twenty years. And so after the revival of the 80s in the 2000s and that of the 90s in the two thousand and ten years, the moment of the redemption of the 2000s has officially arrived. In music and more.
While baseball hats and low -life jeans come back to characterize the looks of the moment and also the old iPods return to fashion (ask Addison Rae, among the most launched stars of the new American pop, who to launch his new single “Headphones on” has pulled a nano iPod out of the boxes in the closet), in the world of music things happen. Pop-punk returns to being trendy. Rap albums return to take on the style of the mixtapes of the 2000s. And re -emerge public figures of that era: Paris Hilton has released a new album, “Infinite Icon”; Snoop Dogg recalled Dr. Dre to work on one of his albums, “Missionary”, trying to repeat the magic of his best works, those published between the late 90s and the early 2000s; Nas has returned to receive nominations at the Grammy Awards. It will be that the pop of these years has become an infinite reduction race, with a few flicks, few ideas, few innovative solutions. It will be that twenty years ago music, even that of “cassette”, was not made by amateurs in the mistake that revolutionary hitmakers were felt for having written or produced half success, but masters who regardless of what they produced deserved respect. It will be that historical detachment allows us to be less severe and more impartial, compared to the high ranking pop of the early 2000s, so massacred and snubbed at the time, so much regret today. The fact is that that music is taking revenge today. AND The discography multinationals are preparing to ride the revival.
Among the first to mobilize there is Sony Musicthrough its Legacy Recordings catalog division. Not only the reprint of “Oops! … The Did It Again” by Britney Spears, the album that consecrated the former Stellina of the Mickey Mouse Club after the Exploit with “… Baby One More Time”, and those of some of the most impacting records of 2000, to be published next. The label also prepared one compilation – Other format, look a little, so dear to the 2000s – entitled “Y2k25: The Music That Made The Millennium“The disc, which will be released on June 20 and will be available in CD and Black LP format (the pre-order already active, at this link), It collects in a single box the most popular hits of the early 2000s caught by the Sony catalogwhose artists in that decade “spent over 35 weeks at number 1 of hot 100, more than 20 weeks with albums at number 1 of the Billboard Top 200, and 5 of the 10 best -selling albums of the year brought their signature».
The reference target, this time, is not that generation Z – digital natives – which dictated the market trends of these years, but that of the millennials grown with Pokémon cards, the game boy Advance, “Raven” and “Zack and Cody at the Grand Hotel” on Disney Channel. Listening to the disc will be like returning to the past afternoons glued in front of the TV waiting for the videos on MTV of the Black Eyed Peas and Coldplay: the tracklist ranges from the same “Oops! … Britney Spears’ Did It Again” to “I Try” by Macy Grayfrom “The Wanna Love You Forever” by Jessica Simpson to “Waiting for Tonight” by Jennifer Lopezpassing through Ricky Martin’s “Livin ‘La Vida Loca”, Pink’s “There You Go” and “Sno Scrubs” of the TLC. Not only a nostalgia operation, but also a way to pay homage and reinterpret a decade often underestimated, re -evaluating the creativity that characterized it.
