2000s
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
"The significance of the September 11 attacks resides in the symbolic meaning of the buildings attacked. The World Trade Center represents American financial power and the Pentagon represents American military power." --Sholem Stein "The superhero film genre experienced renewed and intense interest throughout the 2000s. Some attributed this increased popularity to the social and political climate in Western society since the September 11 attacks."--Sholem Stein "From Underground Moderne to Nova Classics, from Loft classics bootlegs and BBE Records to Strut Records and Soul Jazz, the period from 1990 to 2010 was the golden age of the cd compilation and connoisseur liner notes."--Sholem Stein |
