Why did music take such a downfall in the 90s?

Not trolling but seriously its weird how so many good artists and genres went downhill in the 90s and in their ashes we got inferior garbage.

All the thrash metal bands went commercial or lost their edge.
Industrial artists like Einsturzende Neubauten quit releasing mega classics and instead we got garbage like Nine Inch Nails.
Pop music went from being stuff like Tears for fears to shit like Britney Spears.

Also grunge and pop punk became popular in the 90s and I've no clue why.

It is a matter of what people like to listen to. I mean, why did we go from jazz and blues in the 50s-60s to heavy metal and hard rock in the 70s-80s.

And btw, pop punk and grunge is IMO good music.

I love punk, pop punk, punk rock, and grunge. So yeah, for me 90s was the best. I believe the downfall of music started in 2008, the emergence of Bieber.

Early 90's music is pretty good if you ask me. Rock, pop, electro made a downfall after the mid 90s, while rap, R'n'B became more popular (not a fan of the latter category).
This is about to change now this last years, however, we have seen a lot of creolizations recently, and more indie music.

Cobain stole a lot of his riffs from The Meat Puppets and Killing Joke if we're being honest. All bands steal, Nirvana stole from Killing Joke who stole from The Damned. Cobain did give those bands a lot of exposure they never would have gotten otherwhise, though. Example:

I get you, but writing riffs is a skill - if you actually write them. When you said Dylan, I assumed you mean that he brought folk riffs to rock music when he went electric as well, before that you mostly had either really heavy country influence with white artists (rockabilly, pretty much the Les Paul line of descent going through Orbison, Buddy Holly, etc.) or you had blues influenced black artists (like Hendrix). Dylan was an innovator, whatever you say about him.


Dylan is was as lyricist / song wirter i was comparing him

but when it come ro prolific song writers out put alone woody Guthrie was biggest total of over 400 song and compositions and woody was not that old when he died either

So? That's barely into the 90s at all. Its not like things made an immediate change going from 1989 to 1990. Most thrash bands though quit releasing good material between 1990 and 1992.

Between 1990 and 1992 still includes 1990 lmao..

Besides, you didn't state any specific years in OP.

The whole thread is pretty stupid though, I mean, you PERSONALLY don't like certain music / genres in the 90s, so that means music went downhill? k m8 gg

To be honest, the elitism from the "true 90's kids" is enough to turn me off from a lot of stuff from the 90's, including music. I'm a 90's kid too but I'm going to have to agree that a lot of 90's music did actually suck pretty hard. Some of it was great but not the garbage like Limp Bizkit, Crazy Town, pretty much all of the boy bands and girl groups from that time, Vanilla Ice etc. Most of the 90's music people ramble about/pretend to like now are bands that no one actually cared about in the 90's, whereas all of the stuff I just mentioned was pretty much everywhere and therefore unavoidable.

they sound nothing alike, hell if anything pop punk as of recent has grown to be a hell of alot more aggressive

not to mention we live ina era where almost eveyr genre of past is still alive in some way, 90's especially has a shit ton of bands that sound identical to stuff released then and alot of it quite good, hell a majority of run for cover records sounds like this

wonder years just finished up a new album this week, so hyped, though i will admit i prefer suburbia to the greatest generation even though i will say greatest generation has the best lyrics of the band thus far, passing through a screen door's final aprts give me goosebumps where he wonder sif he fucked up somewhere when he sees people he grew up with with families and hes all alone

polar bear club im less hyped about their future after jimmy lost his voice, but they wrote the new album with his older growls intended and he just lost it hence why i think some of it sounds off(still a pretty decent album though) but i think if they write the new album around the different tone it'll work out better. still think so i buy is one of their best songs but i do wish i could hear it with his older gruffy voice

Bad examples there, Bizkit didn't hit their peak until around 2003 and Crazy Town were a 1 hit wonder (which every decade is full of), there were a lot of boy / girl bands which are always bad, but like EVERY decade, there's good and bad music, so I don't think it really matters at all.

Every decade has bad stuff, but the dominant genres tend to change, which is where you can make the case that one era suits you better. If you're a fan of rock music - as in not alternative, but more country or blues influenced, traditional rock - the 90's were not so great. I mostly listen to metal and rockabilly, so I'm generally bigger on the 80's and now this recent resurgence of appreciation for classic metal acts plus new metal bands. But, if you're mostly into rap or alternative, I get why you'd like the 90's a lot.


You're probably the most logical person on this entire forum, I respect that.

I do remember Bizkit being pretty popular towards the later part of the 90's, I could be wrong there. Fair point on Crazy Town, I don't know why I used them as an example. I've just never been crazy about most 90's music. I actually find myself listening to stuff made after 2000 a lot more.

TWY has always been consistent so I'm not worried about them dropping a bad album. As far as Polar Bear Club goes, the newest one took a while to grow on me but I like it just as much as everything else they put out. I actually didn't even really know about them until I saw them opening for Taking Back Sunday in late 2013.

I mostly listen to metal and rockabilly, so I'm generally bigger on the 80's and now this recent resurgence of appreciation for classic metal acts plus new metal bands. But, if you're mostly into rap or alternative, I get why you'd like the 90's a lot.


My music taste is a bit all over the place though I guess you could say I'm more into alternative. Even then, there isn't a lot of stuff from the 90's that I consider memorable. I do agree with your mindset, though. Every era has its good and bad stuff.

Bad examples there, Bizkit didn't hit their peak until around 2003 and Crazy Town were a 1 hit wonder (which every decade is full of), there were a lot of boy / girl bands which are always bad, but like EVERY decade, there's good and bad music, so I don't think it really matters at all.


I do remember Bizkit being pretty popular towards the later part of the 90's, I could be wrong there. Fair point on Crazy Town, I don't know why I used them as an example. I've just never been crazy about most 90's music. I actually find myself listening to stuff made after 2000 a lot more.

wonder years just finished up a new album this week, so hyped, though i will admit i prefer suburbia to the greatest generation even though i will say greatest generation has the best lyrics of the band thus far, passing through a screen door's final aprts give me goosebumps where he wonder sif he fucked up somewhere when he sees people he grew up with with families and hes all alone

polar bear club im less hyped about their future after jimmy lost his voice, but they wrote the new album with his older growls intended and he just lost it hence why i think some of it sounds off(still a pretty decent album though) but i think if they write the new album around the different tone it'll work out better. still think so i buy is one of their best songs but i do wish i could hear it with his older gruffy voice


TWY has always been consistent so I'm not worried about them dropping a bad album. As far as Polar Bear Club goes, the newest one took a while to grow on me but I like it just as much as everything else they put out. I actually didn't even really know about them until I saw them opening for Taking Back Sunday in late 2013.


They definitely were big at the end of the decade but they became massive by 2002-2003.

That's fair, but I personally listen to music from any decade as long as it sounds good to me, although I can understand if bands like Bizkit and all the boy bands have put a bad taste in your mouth lmao

Yea IAOS is an absolute masterpiece and by far my favorite album of all time. Also I have no idea why you have such a vendetta against 90's music, did it kick your dog or something?

My i issue is the dominant genres of the 90s were lacking in the creativity of the 80s.
the 80's were fucking horrible if were talking about dominant genres, it may be the worst of the past 4 decades and saw a huge rise to power of terrible synthetic pop bullshit with cheesy vocals and also saw birth to the terrible repetitions we often see today in pop, hair spray music has some of the single least creative style in the entirety of music and that shit dominated the charts in the late 80's

honestly one of the few things im grateful to the 80's for music wise was the birth of hardcore punk which was an extremely underground movement

I'm the same way, it's not like I'm all NO, NO 90'S MUSIC AT ALL, BAD BAD BAD! The release dates of things doesn't have any effect on my opinion of it. It's just that the number of bands and artists from the 90's I didn't/don't care for seems to outnumber the ones I really like.

I've heard very mixed things about NMH, critics praise or at least "praised" them massively but a lot of people seem to despise them, maybe I should give them a listen tomorrow..

That's even more fair, I've noticed in recent years that a lot of boy / girl bands from the 90s have been reuniting... Eww
