We all know about the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s.  But when Y2K arrived it ushered in a decade that few people could describe.   But the Brits know what to call the decade starting with the year 2000.  So we’re going to defer to the country with a rich musical heritage and call the music between 2000 and 2009 The Noughties!
