If the 1990's zeitgeist was contained in Ten, Nevermind, Dirt, mellon Collie and Kurts suicide

what is the current zeitgeist? What movie, or music exemplifies it?

I dont think I would say the smashing Pumpkins album of the same name captures current times the way Siamese Dream or Mellon Collie did.

So what is the zeitgeist of the 2000's?

    Zeitgeists are illusions. Ones that I have no time for.

    I think its conformist industry music, computer animated movies, and fat people. Edit that: Overdone weight loss craze

    They arent songs, but I think they capture the "Spirit of the age"

    Gitmo pics, Rock of Love, internet video of Paris Hilton's shaved box, pics of Roger Clemens testifying before Congress, some terrible summer rap song.
