Rhino’s 2000s Pop Culture Box

PS I'm surprised Rhino waited this long and didn't put out the '00s boxed set around 2010 or '11.

Also, we're only about a year away from the '10s decade being over (gosh, as I write that, I can't believe that's the case), so I wonder if Rhino will do a '10s boxed set shortly after the decade ends or also wait about a decade.

It's obvious why the '70s boxed set came out many years after the decade ended, but there's no real good reason why the '00s one had to take this long. Maybe Rhino thought it would have more of a "nostalgic" value if they waited 9 years. Still, with the way the CD boom has been un-booming, and while there seems to be less interest in buying CDs, or in this case, even digital music (when streaming is free), I think they would have been wiser to put out the '00s box set in 2010, and not when it's nearly 2019.

Yep, that was exactly my point made above. This box set is less "pop culture" and more obscure indie and alternative.
