90's Music
The 1990s were one of the most diverse, fractured and explosive musical decades since the 60’s. While things stated off strong for hair metal, bands like Bon Jovi and Metallica soon found themselves losing their audience to a different brand of loud, aggressive, but introspectively emotional music that would be labeled ‘alternative.’ Nirvana, Pearl Jam and the Smashing Pumpkins were the new rock royalty, shattering radio formats and giving teens a fresh outlet for their angst. The Grunge movement and the Seattle scene dominated both music and fashion at the dawn of the 90's. |
Ah . . . 90's music.
This is the decade that saw music go digital. Gone are the
days of cassette tapes. 90's music was in new formats and
available to share online like never before.The decade wouldn’t just be filled with the sound of screaming guitars. Rave and electronic beats would nudge their way into the mainstream. 90's pop music would see a radical transformation of its own, moving from the scandal of lip-syncers Milli Vanilli to an explosion of teen idols named Britney, Christina and Justin. The Spice Girls would join forces with the Backstreet Boys and ‘N Sync to force feed sugary-sweet sounds to the masses. By the end of the decade, however, rap music and hip hop culture would achieve an almost total dominance over the record industry, lead by artists like Notorious B.I.G., Jay Z and Puff Daddy. This fusion of 1990's pop sensibilities and street cred transformed the face of music forever.
