I'm going to say Rap. It's not even close.

Emo, unfortunatly.

Rap and hip-hop influenced pop.

I don't know about Emo, maybe it's more prevalent in North America, not so much here. I am going with Brian and saying Rap and hip-hop influenced pop.

Emo might be more definitive/limited to the 00s, but rap is more popular by far.

Rap/Hip-Hop influenced Pop. And unfortunately, this kind of music is way too overcommercialized.

Glam Rap is the biggest genre of the 00's no question.

I would say rap but specifically the subgenres glam rap, crunk, and snap. 

Definately rap (hip-hop). Some of the biggest selling albums of the decade have been rap albums. Emo couldn't be on that list. It was one big sudden burst of popularity around 2005/2006 but it was just a fad and it didn't generate a whole lot of record sales. Put country in it's place. Country has done well this decade, expecially recently.

I wish hip hop could go back to the 80s and 90.

Why go back? Why not go forward?

Basically it changed througout most of the decade:

2000-2002:  Pop
2002-2003:  Pop-rock stuff such as Avirl Lavigne, Hilary Duff, stuff like that and maybe some country... Dixie Chicks, LeeAnn, and Shania was huge these years.  Don't forget pop-punk and numetal was dying.
2003-2006:  Hip-hop, emo, pop-punk, screamo, all that crap... maybe adult contemporary, not much!!!
2006-:  Adult contemporary, hip-hop, R&B, dance and electronic influenced music, indie, etc.

Crap.

Techno...  It's just bigger in Europe than it is in America.  (That is if we are judging what is biggest in a global sense.)

I can see this as more or less as of 2010s or even a 2020s genre, but it is starting to come into America circa 2008.

Well pop infuenced country has done well of late(2006+)with "Carrie Underwood" and more recently "Taylor Swift" I think. I alaways notice there's some little pop-country trend that goes mainstream later/earlier parts of decades like Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton were popular in the early 80's on Top 40 radio I think. Than in the early 90's a song like "Walking In Memphis" was popular as was a group like "Restless Heart" in 1992(they had one hit song that went mainstream and blew up.) In the late 90's/early 00's(1997-2001/2002) it was stuff like Shania Twain, Faith Hill, LeAnn Rimes, and maybe LeAnn Wolmack.

That's true about country-pop being big around the borders of a decade. Although it was really big for the entire '90s, and I think it just peaked towards the end. I actually had a school bus driver who listened to country music around 1992/'93 when Garth Brooks and people like him were getting big...so I remember alot of those songs back then. It really got big in 1997 when people like Shania Twain blew up though.

Yeah a producer like Timbaland his production is getting close to sounding techno.
