Welcome to the new millennium. A good year for country, ballads, and country ballads. Alternative rock is starting to appear more in the pop charts, and the genre will soon come to define the sound of rock for this decade (along with post-grunge, which will come later). Latin pop and rock is also growing in popularity, with artists like Ricky Martin, Enrique Iglesias, and the mainstream resurgence of Carlos Santana. This sound would also have a lot of influence over pop and R&B songs by non-Latin artists. Not coincidentally, this is also the year the Latin Grammy Awards was created. These genres do have there distinct sounds and characteristics, but a lot of American music publications at the time used the labels to describe "any pop or rock song in Spanish". I don't think I could do the nuances of this topic justice, so for more of that I'd recommend reading Rock the Nation: Latin/o Identities and the Latin Rock Diaspora by Roberto Avant-Mier.

2000 is also notable for being the year Metallica sued Napster. This suit would later be followed by A&M Records, Inc. v. Napster, Inc., in which Napster was sued by A&M Records and 18 record companies and members of the Recording Industry Association of America. But for most of the year, Metallica (specifically the band's drummer, Lars Ulrich) was the prominent example of artists fighting against music piracy. This is important to bring up, because issues surrounding the cost of music will continue to shape the record industry for the following decades. But more importantly, it gives me an excuse to share this anti-Napster PSA Metallica made for MTV. You're welcome.

i have a list of Songs Who Should Get Coffee (SWSGC) which is split into songs who would bond over their thematic similarities and songs who would tear each other into microscopic pieces in a Denny's parking lot due to their thematic similarities and when i tell you "Tiny Vessels" by death cab for cutie is getting beaten to a pulp by 3 sobbing emoboy tracks as we speak i am not kidding

Meeting my favorite band/singer was a dream come true. I've loved this band since I was 14. If only he knew what I was going through right before meeting him—the thoughts swirling in my mind. I usually don't hug anyone; I'm not a hugger. In fact, I despise hugs. Yet, I needed this hug more than I ever thought possible. It was healing in ways I couldn't have imagined. If any of you ever get to meet Matt Scannell, even if you're uncomfortable with hugs, hug him anyway. Not only does he give the best hugs, but he's also very sweet and easy to talk to. Matt Scannell, healing broken hearts since the 90s.
