The 2000s was filled with hot new music, some old and even some new genres of music were emerging or becoming more mainstream popular. Some of these genres include Alternative R&B, Indie music, and electronic hits. Music in this decade was known for becoming remixes, covers or mashups of old, or formerly released songs. Much of these new genres are attributed to the development of YouTube which was created in 2005, allowing all kinds of music to be shared on one individual site. It was now possible for musicians to post their own original work in order to get noticed by music labels, and it was also used as a forum for music enthusiasts to listen to whatever they want. A lucky bonus was that music videos were also a treat instead of just listening to a CD or music on the radio.
