2000s was the era of Mainstream Hardcore and Classic Hardstyle
These genres are to some degree based on flopped synthesizers from the 80s, like Roland TR 909 and Roland Alpha Juno. Which made it possible for normal people to play around with that hardware in their free time due to low prices

Ahhh I see. you are speaking of the electronic bleep blorps! Yeah, I mean electronic one could argue started in the 70’s as well but yes.
Also I’m not sure that hardware was ever that low priced. Good hardware has always been spendy. But anyone could still make that music today if they wanted to . The synths are still around. Propellerhead reason is still out there for free if you wanted.

I couldn’t find how much the prices actually dropped, but my understanding is that it originially was on the cheaper side of that hardware and then must‘ve been thrown out by the studios who got them, who made them quite cheap second hand for the automation they could do
