Anonymous Coward User ID: 80441802 Japan 06/03/2021 04:05 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This stuff was posted on the previous page of this thread, but no one has answered. The point is where are these types among the young people. There are no Alanis Morissettes, Sheryl Crows, Fiona Apples, Jewels, or any of the other types of female icons from the 90s mentioned in this thread out there today. The edge is gone. The spirit is gone. Taylor Swift is a great song writer, but she's got no edge with her constant sappy, corny, repetitious love songs. When Taylor Swift is edgy, it comes off as silly. This is a very edgy idea for a song and video, but it comes off as a joke. When you compare this to the examples of edginess from the 90s, I think the point of this thread is apparent.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 80441802 Japan 06/03/2021 09:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I remember liking this song in the 90s. I could sing it by heart, but it barely registered for me. There was just so much great music that this was just another song. The thing is that I haven't heard a new pop song this good in a long time. This is another song that has a distinct 90s sound and vibe. Nothing sounded like this in the 80s or before. TLDR: This song is better than almost anything today, but it was an average radio song in the 90s. [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] |

The spirit of the 90s. The fact Tori Amos wasn't mentioned until the fourth page of this thread shows you what a worthy topic this is. [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] |

I am starting to think everyone in the 90s was just tapping into the zeitgeist of the times rather than being so special themselves necessarily. |

The 90s were the last semi-normal decade. I was in my 30s at the time, so it wasn't when I was young.. I have never owned a cell phone, and limit my time on the internet significantly. I refuse to conform to 21st century "norms". I prefer the 1960s.. but 90s would suffice. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77192746 I love American music from the 60s to the 90s, but I like the 90s best because of the variety and diversity of the music. Entire musical genres peaked in the 90s that often didn't exist previously, but everything from those previous decades was still being recorded (with excellent quality) in the 90s. That's why the 90s are my top choice. |

Good, glad they are gone. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80291699 I was thinking about a tramp stamp earlier today and how glad I am to never have gotten one. Yes, we are all in our 50's now and the women in their 20s all look the same to me now..lol. Who has that much time to contour and why?? Sincerely, Wife |

The truth is that the spirit of the 90s is extinct. It goes for both men and women. Now... Was the 60s spirit dead in 1991? No way. So many of the 60s artists were still producing incredible music in the 90s. I would say plenty of 60s artists like Eric Clapton, Ozzy Osbourne, and Tina Turner didn't hit their peaks until the 90s. |

However, I always felt like her music peaked in the 90s, and although she became more popular later, her music went downhill. This song was released in 1999, and it's my favorite Beyoncé song. This has the 90s vibe...like nothing before or since. [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] |

If we'd all just strive to be the best version of ourselves we'd have other things to think about. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80440880 I think it's important to critically consider the past and how things have changed in order to put the present in context. If I were to start this thread again, I would name it "The 90s spirit is extinct", but I only realized that by considering this topic more closely. |

So much great music was made, nothing since then even comes close. Getting real melancholy thinking about my wasted youth in a by gone era and how awesome everything was then. Out from the belly of a whale came a prophet, Amen! |

Quoting: Samus79 This thread is only scratching the surface of the highlights. You would have to break it down year by year in every genre for both women and men to do it justice. If that were done, I think it would be undeniable that the 90s was the peak for music, and I would say all of human civilization. |
