'''Modern music''', in common usage, refers to music released in the [[21st Century]] (2000AD - 2099AD). There are many new movements in popular music since 1999, such as the [[House revival]] and [[New Rave]], as well as new genres like [[dubstep]], [[post-rock]] and [[breakcore]]. Mainstream music has been increasingly abandoning traditional [[rock music|rock]] and traditional [[pop]] formats.
The distribution methods of modern music are drastically different to those in the 20th Century; most music is now sold online through stores like [[iTunes]], and increasingly provided online for free by the artists.
