signalnoise posted:Yeah, the 90's, where you had to scrounge to find anything that wasn't from the US in the "World Music" section of your local best buy. Also being the decade of Dave Matthews Band means it can suckadong maybe this is just nostalgia talking and and the lingering ghost of dead hipsterism but I feel like having to work for it made it more special. like me being a nerd in a trash southern town taking the first baby steps of looking for a specialist book store that sold melody maker or NME.

Sheep-Goats posted:Worst song ever I thought I'd be clicking on "Steal My Sunshine" but alas Still, it takes the 90s conceit of "lyrical nonsense is fine as long as it rhymes" as far as it could go rhyming bonnet with a throwaway line about Billy Shakespeare and his sonnets

i think the nineties gets looked up as particularly creative because it was an interesting time for a lot of genres, though that doesn't necessarily make it better or more creative. a decade's worth of calcified rock and roll suddenly shattered which lead to a lot new, popular expressions of the genre from grunge to alt-rock to indie rock to punk revivalism to post-punk and post-rock and all kinds of poo poo. once again, not necessarily better or worse than before, just unique. for any genre of art, that can be an interesting time period- the collapse of the old standard and creation of a new. similar things were happening in pop music, like someone earlier mentioned, with the death of glam pop and the creation of modern pop-groups and the incorporation of modern hip-hop/r+b into pop acts like jlo. once again, not necessarily better, but an interesting time creatively. with the collapse of the established order of those two genres from the decade before, a new zeitgeist was being sought which brought much more variety to the forefront, briefly, as the next "new sound" was being sought. i think that's why the 90s seemed to go through so many changes. there was variety but it was shallow. styles and popular things changed so frequently that there seemed to be lots of variety but that's because it was a time where the institutions were trying to find a new rock upon which to build there church. it seems to me like in the mid-2000s things seemed to stabilize with incredibly samey boring rock winning out- that stained/nickleback crappy sound. also pop moved away from the pop-group and focused on selling pop-stars like hip-hop stars were being sold which leads me to my final point. the 90s were also an interesting time because rap was gaining mainstream success and maturing as a major creative art form. and it would go on to pretty much dominate popular music up until today. so in conclusion, the 90s featured the death of rock and roll, a spectacular explosion of short lived genres and experiments. it was an interesting time for the genre. it also featured a major shake up of pop music as hip-hop influenced acts took over the scene. and it featured the coming of age for rap. i don't think its "more varied" or anything, or that its the best music ever (though most of my favorite bands are from the death of rock era, 87-95ish) but i do think it was an interesting time to look at creatively. there are other interesting times too! the 90s are not the most interesting ever, just interesting. welp, thanks for reading my long, hot take that is most likely full of poo poo and wrong, gbs!

What the 90s did to music was the opposite of creative.

A homeless man has taken a huge runny poo poo on my driveway, a place where previously there have been no huge runny shits. What a creative time for my driveway.
