-The 2000s gave rise to a new trend in music production with the growing use of [[auto-tune]]. The effect was first popularized in the early 2000s by [[Eiffel 65]] with their 1998 hit song "[[Blue (Da Ba Dee)]]", which came to global prominence in 2000. It was also used in certain tracks off critically acclaimed 2001 albums from [[Daft Punk]] (with ''[[Discovery (Daft Punk album)|Discovery]]'') and [[Radiohead]] (with ''[[Amnesiac (album)|Amnesiac]]'').<ref name="nytimes.com" /> By 2008, auto-tune was part of the music mainstream with artists such as [[Lil Wayne]], [[T-Pain]] and [[Kanye West]] utilizing it in their hit albums ''[[Tha Carter III]]'', ''[[Three Ringz]]'' and ''[[808s & Heartbreak]]'' respectively. Towards the end of the decade, electronic dance music began to dominate western charts (as it would proceed to in the following decade), and in turn helped contribute to a diminishing amount of rock music in the mainstream.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cnn.com/2011/09/23/showbiz/music/nirvana-nevermind/index.html|title='Nevermind,' never again?|work=CNN|date=September 23, 2011|access-date=October 27, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131102005827/http://www.cnn.com/2011/09/23/showbiz/music/nirvana-nevermind/index.html|archive-date=November 2, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/rockandpopfeatures/5978573/La-Roux-Lady-Gaga-Mika-Little-Boots-the-80s-are-back.html|location=London|work=The Daily Telegraph|first=Neil|last=McCormick|title=La Roux, Lady Gaga, Mika, Little Boots: the 80s are back|date=August 5, 2009|url-status=live|access-date=February 11, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131027012310/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/rockandpopfeatures/5978573/La-Roux-Lady-Gaga-Mika-Little-Boots-the-80s-are-back.html|archive-date=October 27, 2013 }}</ref> [[Hip hop music]] also saw a decline in the mainstream in the late 2000s because of electronic music's rising popularity.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2009/nov/26/notes-noughties-hip-hop|work=The Guardian|location=London| title=Simon Reynolds's Notes on the noughties: When will hip-hop hurry up and die?| date=November 26, 2009|first1=Simon|last1=Reynolds|url-status=live|access-date=February 11, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120411211603/http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/2009/nov/26/notes-noughties-hip-hop|archive-date=April 11, 2012 }}</ref>+

-The general socio-political fallout of [[Iraq War]] also extended to popular music. In July 2002, the release of English musician [[George Michael]]'s song "[[Shoot the Dog]]" proved to be controversial. It was critical of [[George W. Bush]] and [[Tony Blair]] in the lead up to the [[2003 invasion of Iraq]]. The video showed a cartoon version of Michael astride a nuclear missile in the Middle East and Tony and [[Cherie Blair]] in bed with President Bush. The [[Dixie Chicks]] are an American country music band. During a [[London]] concert ten days before the [[2003 invasion of Iraq]], lead vocalist Maines said, "we don't want this war, this violence, and we're ashamed that the President of the United States <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[George W.

She also made her widely considered "comeback" album with her tenth studio album [[Confessions on a Dance Floor]] which topped the charts worldwide in a record 40 countries.

The 2000s (pronounced "two-thousands" or "twenty-hundreds") was a decade of the Gregorian calendar that began on January 1, 2000 and ended on December 31, 2009. Its single most marking event were the September 11 attacks of 2001.

The growth of the Internet contributed to globalization during the decade, which allowed faster communication among people around the world.

The economic growth of the 2000s had considerable social, environmental and mass extinction consequences, raised demand for diminishing energy resources, and was still vulnerable, as demonstrated by the financial crisis of 2007–08.
