Music of the 90s
During the 1990s, America was a place of change and energy, and the music scene began to represent that. It was diversified greatly, with lines between genres blurred. There was Britney Spears and her pop counterparts, taking the high energy music from the 80s and aspects of hip hop to develop this new sound. There was Nirvana and the grunge rock scene, with long underground bands going from playing garages to playing stadiums. There was a new kind of rap music, with groups like N.W.A. representing the feelings of many of the American people. And there were many more musical movements in the 90s, that have gone on to shape the music we listen to today. The culture of the 90s allowed a new kind of creative freedom and experimentation musically, which became representative of the culture as a whole.

I think its interesting how in the decades before the 90s there were only a few genres that were popular among a lot of people, but in the 90s we saw a lot of different kind of music gain popularity. This includes new styles of rap, grunge rock, and much more.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Trevor that the 90s was a time where many types of music gained popularity. Music in the 90s was very influential on many people's lives including political influence such as the songs by N.W.A. speaking out about treatment of minorities.
DeleteIt's intriguing to view how the 90s shaped culture in modern day as well -- many of its influences continue to prevail.
