What is your opinion on this?
I personally think that they do, however the decade doesn't have as strong of an identity as the 50s-90s. Even from a 2017 viewpoint, the 2000s are still not viewed in the same regard as the Mid-Late 20th Century decades. I can understand why some people think that the 2000s had 'no identity'. Really, the 2000s were just a more evolved and commercialised extension of Late '90s pop culture.

Yeah, they defintly do have an identity. There are defintly things which are solely related to that decade so I couldn't see how someone could say that they don't and are similar to today. Of course, it's not as easy to distinguish as other decades, but that's becasue the 2000s are still recent, so I'm pretty sure as time goes on and the 2000s get more dated, it will certainly have its own identity.

I guess it depends on your age as well. The 2000s were a very youth-orientated decade, so if you weren't keeping up with the latest trends or pop culture, I can see why many people would be under the impression that they had no solid identity. Even though, I can remember the '90s having a strong identity, even as a kid during the Mid-Late 2000s.

It depends on your age, the 2000s are gonna seem a lot more distinct to me than my parents born in the '60s.

Emo is one of the very few aspects of 2000s music which is truly associated with it's time, in my opinion. While there are other elements which have strong ties with the decade, genres such as post-grunge or electropop have either equally strong or even stronger ties to the proceeding/following decade.

I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this or not, but I think the overall identity of the 2000s has strengthened in recent times. Just a couple of years ago, the decade didn't seem to be as distinguishable, probably because it was still too recent. However, now that we are in 2018, I think the 2000s definitely have a strong identity in their own right.

Oh, please, of course they had an identity. They weren’t just an evolution of the late ‘90s, and if they were, it was only certain new elements from around 1999 blossoming further as the 2000s unfolded. Let’s not bog down into a ‘90s kid mindset, please.

Let’s not bog down into a ‘90s kid mindset, please. For starters, I don't have a "'90s kid" mindset. The main reason for me creating this thread, is because a lot of people tend to think that the 2000s don't have as strong of an identity as the '50s-'90s and I thought this could have been an interesting discussion about how strong of an identity the 2000s have. Also, the comment I made about the 2000s being an extension of Late '90s was very generalised. I know that there are quite a few differences between Late 90s and 2000s pop culture.

Yep, a few years ago only the early 2000s felt really distinct, and now the entire decade has its identity.

Even if it’s generalized, it’s still really dismissive of the idea of the 2000s being their own distinguished decade. By the same logic, the 80s are pretty much an extension of late 70s culture like Blondie, Atari, Journey, and punk.

Imo, the whole decade definetly has an identity, especially when comparing with today. With that being said, 2009 is now the only year of the decade which doesn't seem really dated to me now.

Yes, they do; however, they don't have just one identity, they have others as well.
