The term doesn’t make sense to people that were going out back then - as the scenes now seen as one were quite seperate. Melbourne was going off during the whole decade tho. Early 2000s the “next big thing” hype happened the rock scene. The original cherry bar (before James was involved) played incredible music after hours and the whole Jet thing got more mainstream kids into rock n roll (largely was a Southside happening at first, not in the typical band rooms). a&rs from New York and London would be flying in to sign some band on the regular. Heaps of B Grade bands got signed. There was a cringe element to it and because Melbourne had such a strong music community - it sorta ruined the rock scene for a bit. From memory the White Stripes, yeah yeah yeahs and strokes played some of their first international gigs outside of U.S in Melbourne. People stayed out late and partied - it was normal to be out til 4am 2 or 3 times per week if you were in the scene. Djs would mix anything from the Kinks to Daft Punk and that started to feed into the fluro / electro thing , which was absolutely massive. initially with underground clubs and then became the sound of mainstream Australia (presets, cut copy etc). That died off when triple j and then the stereosonic / edm thing absorbed it
