We asked like half a dozen students in the building the other day, and none of them had any idea who Alanis Morisette was. These are university students. I realize she wasn't on the same tier of fame with Madonna and Marilyn Monroe, but I think if I'd asked the same thing 10 years ago all of them would have known who she was.
I doubt I could name 5 post-2000 songs.
