Music from the 70s and 80s is a pretty decent mix of songs. But it seems to me that in the 90's, everything went to hell. I've been listening to a 90's mix for the past hour on Music Choice, and it really sucks. Everything has the same heavy wash-tub beat, and songs are at best, chants lacking any melody, and at worst, faux-rap.
I turned 30 in 1968, so I listened to all four decades as a mature adult, and somewhere in the early 90's, it all just became unbearable.
You just spent an hour listening to 90s garbage? Buddy you have a real high tolerance for torture doncha. Ok you forgot to mention that some one tied you to the bed post and turned that junk on cause they were mad at you. Am I right? I know, I'm pretty good at figuring that sorta thing out.
The music died in the mid 80s with some stray decent songs still around the remainder of the decade. Today the youth is brainwashed with wrap and hippity hoppity bunny jumping noise that puts most of its emphasis on ryhming curse words and degrading women. It will die, it has to because it sucks. The dumbing down of America can't continue forever......can it?
Just forget listening to the radio and enjoy your old CDs.

I did it for the same reason Sean Hannity got waterboarded. So I could come on here and authoritatively assert that it sucks. Do you think I'd make a statement on C-D without thoroughly researching it?
Music ended when American Idol began. Lol actually you can still find some really good bands out there. You just have to look for them. Have you used Pandora? It's really good for discovering new music.

In the 1990s the Internet, cable TV, etc encouraged "niche markets." I think that was likely bad for "popular music" as pop sort-of requires something general. There is no generalized thing in the way there was in the 1980s or before so "pop" kind of went wrong.
However I think if you look a bit outside the mainstream the 1990s had some good music. At the time I thought 90s music was pretty bad, but I think I was noticing the wrong things. Although I might agree the last two decades were a tad weak when it came to music.
Defenses of the 90s aside I would need to know what kind of stuff you like before I'd recommend any 90s music.
Help, I just ate a McDonald's 99 cent hamburger and I need you to tell me...
When did food die?
heh
This forum sure has had a lot of threads complaining about the demise of music.
As Thomas notes, whether it is the 90's or the 1700's, music is rather a subjective topic.
Maybe the narrative of contemporary music sort of went into a bunch of tangents.
There is still risk-taking and experimentation going on, and plenty of visceral stuff along with techno, etc.
But the sheer number of genres available might dilute each other.
As long as there is Spotify, Lastfm or Pandora or word of mouth, I know I am going to find music I love.
