Ehh....

There is no band for "this" generation, at the moment. Sure, there's fads like Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus, but they will come and go like the autumn breeze, only to be forgotten in the chills of winter and diverse music fora from which to choose now. The closest anything gets right now would probably be Jay-Z. However, I think he's sorta disqualified anyways, since he's not really a band. Plus, he still isn't really all that close to "generation defining" in the sense that, say, the Beatles were.

Basically, relish this time as a point in which everyone has a broad choice of music interests to pursuit. Not all are great, not all are even decent. But its all about taste, of course. The aforementioned statement is just my opinion, and others may disagree. Overall, I think most people are finding music they agree with, be it hard rock, indie, rap, or whatever tickles their fancy.
