theres no real articles, but i could def give you some names of bands that really took off in that time
The Strokes was one of them:
Articles: This Is It: Ten Years of the Strokes | Features | Pitchfork
Great article outlining their career
The Killers, The Hives, Interpol, The Bravery that whole sound at that time came off the strokes.. and some of those other bands didnt have the type of the career the Strokes had was because they were basically following that sound and trend at the time.
Its hard to find any articles cause nobody really talks about it, but i just remember growing up in NY, and learning how to play bass at the time, i really followed the scene. Its just really about being natural and authentic that can help you change music
i think fans can tell when things are forced
