2000s Vinyl Records
Nobody's settled on what to call the 2000s, which feels about right for a decade this scattered. The indie-rock explosion (the Strokes, Arcade Fire, the blog-hyped class of the mid-'00s) defined it; emo and pop-punk owned the suburbs; nu-metal happened (we don't judge); and electronic music started its march toward the mainstream. It was also when vinyl began its quiet comeback, which makes early-2000s titles an interesting in-between to dig.
