Die Null muss stehen! Cargo Records blickt zurück und wünscht...

An alle Twitter-, Facebook- und Myspace-Freunde, Fremdschämer, Weltklimagipfel-Enttäuschte, Bad Bank-Geschädigte und Abwrackprämien-Profitierer,

die Nuller-Jahre gehen dem Ende entgegen und sie haben sich in den vergangenen 10 Jahren – auch inhaltlich – ihren Namen redlich verdient. Der Weltklimagipfel zum Jahresende diente noch einmal als exzellentes Spiegelbild der Dekade. Null neue Einsichten folgten null effektive Taten mit dem Ergebnis Nullkommanull.

Geprägt waren die Nuller Jahre von den Nuller-Typen. Bush, Berlusconi oder Palin sorgten für die Nullnummern im internationalen Politikgeschäft, doch auch hierzulande gab es zumeist nur Sprechblasen. Die auf der Westerwelle nach vorn geschwemmten Vielredner und Nichtssager zeichneten sich lediglich durch universelle Austauschbarkeit aus. Ob Verteidigungs- oder Arbeitsminister, ob Kerner oder Beckmann, ob Pocher oder Barth, ob David Winter oder Zac Efron – der Typ „Schwiegermutterliebling“ war wieder angesagt, zum Schluss sahen sogar Vampire aus wie Bankangestellte im dritten Lehrjahr. Leere Hülle statt Inhalt, dass ausgerechnet die konformen 80er Jahre in diesem Jahrzehnt ein Revival erfuhren, verwundert da null.

Auch in musikalischer Hinsicht sind die Nuller Jahre im Grunde null Erwähnung wert. Denn es ist das erste Jahrzehnt seit es U-Musik gibt, in dem es keine Gründung einer Jugendbewegung in Zusammenhang mit einer bestimmten Musikrichtung gibt. Es gab genau null prägende popkulturelle Ereignisse – ganz zu schweigen von Erlebnissen - und auch die unter dichtem Gesichtsbewuchs leidenden Musiker fanden weder massenhafte Nachahmer noch einen Namen für ihre Jünger. Auseinandersetzungen zwischen „verfeindeten“ Neo-Folkern, Post-Hardcorlern oder Deutsch-HipHoppern? Null…

Die Nuller Jahren waren die Post-Jahre. Post-Rock. Post-Hardcore. Post-Punk. Post-Electro. Rückbesinnung statt Zukunftsvisionen. Und so war die Rückkehr der Dinosaurier in den Nuller Jahren praktisch unausweichlich, selbst Axl Rose durfte seinen „Running Gag“ endlich veröffentlichen. Das „Chinese Democracy“ immerhin ein semi-mediokres Album wurde, war denn auch mehr dem involvierten Geld denn den musikalischen Ideen geschuldet. Die waren nämlich null…

Wer wirklich etwas wagte, wurde in den Nuller Jahren – genau: null wahrgenommen. Das Wort „Kult“ wurde nicht nur – aber auch - in Verbindung mit Namen wie Mario Barth, Twilight, Zlatko oder Podolski völlig entwertet. Casting Shows mit Märchenerzähler Onkel Dieter bestimmten die Marschrichtung, das Fernsehen eroberte Platz Eins als Trendsetter, das Internet „twitterte“ sich an die zweite Stelle, Zeitschriften rangieren nur noch auf Platz 3, das klassische Musik-Magazin sucht nach Überlebensstrategien, gefunden wurde mittlerweile das „Advertorial“ – allerdings kaum mehr als eine Lebensverlängernde Maßnahme bei einem Koma-Patienten mit der Heilungschance Null.

Was bleibt von den Nullern? Außer der Erinnerung an viele Katastrophen wie dem Tsunami, Katrina, 911, Bam oder Xavier Naidoo kaum mehr als ein iPod! Und die Hoffnung, dass dem Jahrzehnt der Stillsitzer endlich die Befreiung aus der Privat-Fernseh-Unterhaltungs-Starre folgt. Auf das wir wieder den Blick nach vorne richten, Mut zum Risiko belohnen und in diesem Sinne Euch allen ein Frohes Fest und ein Gutes neues Jahr(zehnt).
