Evolution of music in 1990
Music in the 1990s was truly inspired. So many great, timeless songs were written and recorded by so many different types of artists, it’s impossible to list.
Every other week a new genre popped up. First it was Alternative, then SkaPunk, then Fusion, then RapRock — you get the idea. Musicians were blending styles like never before, aided by the affordability of digital recording equipment that could now operate in the artists’ homes.
Pop still sold strong. Country did well. Rap and hip-hop exploded. Industrial went mainstream. Even electronic music came to the forefront. I mean, if David Bowie does a drum n bass record you know it’s popular.There was a rebirth of creativity and inspiration in the early to mid-90s. Much of music had gotten stale and old and a new, younger crop of musicians burst onto the scene and took control. Generation X was born.Slowly electronics and orchestral elements crept back into the music that had been stripped down so much.
The music got very interesting and became the basis for what most music sounds like today.
