Is there a song that will define this decade and/or is there a song from these ten years that will be associated with this decade?
Oops!... I Did It Again by Ms. Spears.
What is your song that defines a decade D&D?
Pretty sure that song was from 1998-1999, not anywhere in the 2000s.
God I wish I could pick Electioneering by Radiohead. It pretty much defines the politics of today.
If anything, I'd pick that.
Or hell, Optomistic. Despite the fact that we've had a depressing decade, the song speaks about our resiliance and unwillingness to see that our attempts are not good enough.

Funeral planet, dead black asteroid
Mausoleum, this world is a tomb
Human zombies, staring blank faces
No reason to live, dead in the womb
Death shroud existence, slave for a pittance
Condemned to die before I could breathe
Millions are screaming, the dead are still living
This Earth has died yet no one has seen
Funeralopolis
I don't care, this world means nothing
Life has no meaning, my feelings are numb
Faceless masses filed like gravestones
Sacrificed for the glory of one
Funerary cities, flesh press factories
Corporate maggots feed on the carrion
Funeralopolis, claymore shellpocalypse
Black clouds form to block out the sun
Funeral planet, dead black asteroid
Mausoleum, this world is a tomb
Human zombies, staring blank faces
No reason to live, dead in the womb
Funeralopolis
Planet of the dead
Funeralopolis
Planet of the dead
Death shroud existence, slave for a pittance
Condemned to die before I could breathe
Millions are screaming, the dead are still living
This Earth has died yet no one has seen
Funeralopolis
Planet of the dead
Funeralopolis
Planet of the dead
Funeralopolis

For the US, at least, yes. Whether or not you're a fan of the style of music, the content fits. We've really spent the last 10 years being... well... idiots. Willfully.

Doesn't hurt that it's also a fantastic song with a Ramones vibe to it, and it never gets preachy or overstays its welcome like some more recent Green Day.
I don't even know what the lyrics say. It's the way the song sounds. It's like walking through a doorway into another world.
I think the idiocy of this decade is exaggerated—politics has always been stupid. In many ways we've become more literate, more politically aware, and more tolerant, especially young people. What's notable about this decade, to me, is that it feels like we have crossed some kind of threshold. The world today is a completely different place than the world in 2000, on several levels. For the first time in history more humans live in cities than in rural areas. Asymmetrical warfare has totally replaced regular warfare, and the CIA is fighting a proxy war in Pakistan with hundreds of remote-controlled robots. We all walk around with iPod headphones, or smartphones. The Internet has fundamentally changed the way our lives work, communication, the economy, entertainment—everything is different. Everything is filtered through technology.
And this technology has reached a point that, in many ways, it is indistinguishable from "magic." The iPhone just works. Wifi and 3G surround us like an aetheric aura, an invisible sea of information. AI has taken root in unexpected but profound ways, not just autonomous robots but the algorithms on search engines.
Looking back 10 years I can't shake the feeling that we've walked through some mirror-filled corridor into this bizarre world of techno-magic, and the Radiohead song captures the mystery and weirdness of this perfectly.

I have to agree that it was a pretty fantastic album and much more punk rock than they should have been able to get away with. There most recent stuff...not so much.

In less than 10 years there will be a Tommy-esque rock opera based on that album. The new one is just balls.

alright song but I think it has... well actually has a pretty awful message but is nonetheless true.
And doing stupid shit to compensate for it. Including fucking over our own people/neighbors and best friends/allies. On a micro and macro level. It's such a damn shame.
Seriously though, I think it's Kanye. I'm listening to college dropout again right now, and it hits a mix of contrived social consciousness and commercialism that just seems to fit this decade perfectly
Eat it You Nasty Pig. on
it was the smallest on the list but
Pluto was a planet and I'll never forget

A Green Day/Kanye combination rap/punk rock single will be the song that heralds the end of the world.

The answer to this question is always Bob Dylan - The time they are a-changing.
And green day sucks.
Green day sucking has nothing to do with the fact that their soulless tripe is exemplary of this decade.
green day is so meta then
I've never understood the Dylan love. At least is his Newport performance of Like a Rolling Stone, he was sharp, whiny, and screeching, most likely due to alcohol. It also had no discernible rhythm.
Of course, a lot of the music of the decade featured sharp vocals and no sense of rhythm. I blame the Beatles.

Or "These Colours Don't Run". But that's primarily about the war part of the decade, really. Of which there has been quite a lot.

Released in 2000.
So just over the cutoff.

Yeah, but I assumed you meant defined as in any song, which is why I changed my mind. Sorry
Yep.

That song was released in 1993.

I'd probably have to agree with this one. We spent a vast majority of the decade motivated by fear.
Green day sucking has nothing to do with the fact that their soulless tripe is exemplary of this decade.
I want to throw up just reading that.
