90's music > *

[dwell]

On the 90's station on Spotify. Last few songs:

I wish I died on 12/31/99. Nothing's been good since.

 

[nageov3t]

every decade sounds great if you filter out all the genres/groups you hated.

 

[lxskllr]

The 90s were excellent compared to the bleak 80s, but not the best decade by a long shot.

 

[Wingznut]

every decade sounds great if you filter out all the genres/groups you hated.

And because music changes drastically on the last day of each decade.

Not really true. 90's had a lot of crap but the good stuff was better than the good stuff of other decades. It's definitely a "when you came of age" thing but still, today's kids have some bad music overall.

There's lag with "era cultures". The culture starts after the decade begins, and continues after it ends. For example, the the 70s started around 74-75, and ended around 82.

Ditto.

It depends really. Kids today taste in music has changed. We liked grunge rock. They like hip hop. Sure you'd say the 90's was better since that's what you like.

And when "today's kids" become your age, they'll say the same thing about that current generation.

Imho, there's good and bad music in every decade. And of course, defining "good" and "bad" when it comes to any art form is completely subjective.

To illustrate how 90s music > *, you show a list containing Tubthumping and Steal my Sunshine?

Alrighty then.

 

[Spacehead]

If nothing else, today i learned that my taste in good music & dwell's taste in good music are vastly different.

 

[CallMeJoe]

I started listening to popular music in the '50s and have always been able to find great new music in every decade, though I admit there were some lean years back in the Disco Era.

 

[NikolaeVarius]

The 70's and 80's absolutely destroys the 90's. The 90's sucked ass.

 

[SlowSpyder]

Chumbawamba does not support your point OP. :/

No way. Tubthumping is an awesome song. So 90's, I love it.

 

[surfsatwerk]

No way. Tubthumping is an awesome song. So 90's, I love it.

90's is when music died.

 

[A Casual Fitz]

No way. Tubthumping is an awesome song. So 90's, I love it.

No that list is nostalgic at best.

Alrighty then.

... this

Not the best representative sample imho...

Drops of Jupiter was released in 2001.

 

[3chordcharlie]

Drops of Jupiter was released in 2001.

It also took the title of most annoying song ever to make the charts from "The Bad Touch", and held it for a full 4 years until Daniel Powter released "Bad Day", which may in fact keep 'most annoying' status forever.

It is slightly possible that "Love You Like a Love Song" now deserves the title, I'm undecided.

 

[Chaotic42]

I too love 90s music, and I know it's tempting to think of modern music as all "Party Rock Anthem" (LMFAO has eclipsed Will Farrell for #1 on my "If I could blast one person/group into the sun" list), but good music is always being made, and good music is always timeless.

I was a teenager in the mid 80's, and let me tell you, the entire decade was an absolute blast for music. If you weren't a teenager during the awesome decade of the 80's, you missed out bigtime.

 

[CZroe]

OP seems to think that the rest of the '90s were like the end of the '90s.

 

[kevman]

CCR by themselves > 90's music

 

[ultimatebob]

Sorry, but I like the 80's station better.
