Discussion of matters relating to music released in the 1990s. I heard this song on Triple M a few days ago. Makes me wish that I could have grown up with music as good as this!

The late 90s in general for me was absolutely atrocious for music. The reason I put 1998 at the bottom though is because I felt 1999 had a bit more notable albums, and 1997 still had some great mid-90s influences in its music, especially with the "Life After Death" album from Notorious BIG. The problem for me with late 90s music is not just with the Y2K teen pop. Rock music also felt really lackluster in that epoch. The nu metal of that decade was absolutely attrocious. Korn was too whiny, Limp Bizkit was too douchy, and Slipknot was too try-hard. Outside of that, you had the emergence of corny radio-friendly post-grunge from the likes of Matchbox Twenty and Goo Goo Dolls. Rap music felt like it was becoming too commercialized with artists such as Jay Z and DMX rising to popularity. Country music also became too commercialized with artists such as Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney. To me, 1991-1994 was the best four year period for music. 1995-1997 was a slope downhill, but still good overall. 1998-2000 was awful. 2001-2003 was a huge step back in the right direction. 2004-2007 was great for rock music but bad for pretty much every other genre. 2008+ is complete garbage for the mainstream, but gold for the underground.

That's interesting to hear. I know you mentioned you're generally not a fan of the rock music from that era, but what are your thoughts on the alternative-rock which was popular in the Late '90s, such as "Save Tonight", "Malibu", "Shimmer", "She's So High", "Kiss Me" etc? I personally think the alt-rock of the Late '90s was quite good and although some of the songs I mentioned could fit under the "post-grunge" label, I wouldn't really categorise them with Matchbox Twenty and the Goo Goo Dolls either (because there is a noticeable stylistic difference between them).

I listened to Green Day's "Hitchin' A Ride" for the first time yesterday afternoon. I actually really like it! It has become one of my favourite songs of theirs.

I had completely lost interest by this time. Too much dance noise and boring stuff.

1996 & 1995 > 1993 > 1994 > 1997 > 1999 > 1998 >>>> 1992 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 1990 & 1991
Early 90s mainstream sucks, big time, just a horrid mix of boring adult contemp, glam metal, dull and annoying dance songs, and new jack swing that is okay at best.
Fortunately around 1993 europop and eurodance were getting huge and became this decade's saving grace. I also like gangsta rap a great deal which is a million times better than early 90s pop rap. I also love 90s vocal trance a lot.
Give me Y2K vocal trance and I could live with it for the rest of my live.

One of my preferred styles of rock because of how diverse it is. Grunge is okay, but I prefer my alt rock to have more poppy sensibilities (like R.E.M. and their jangle pop or the britpop scene) as well as the atmospheric weirdness of like Shoegaze and Dream Pop.

Why is that, just out of curiosity? It just happens to have fewer songs that I love and more than I just cannot get into. In the US, specifically, it was sill a little too early for the Y2K culture to be in full effect yet, while a lot of other '90s styles were starting to lose relevance or strength. One thing that especially plagues 1998 is the infestation of stiff, soulless contemporary r&b songs that either all sound the same by just lingering on a single note for most of the track or are just completely lacking in the lush smoothness that acts like Jodeci, Shai, and such were so good at earlier in the decade. Even in the UK, music wasn't entirely perfect, as the Britpop movement had burnt out, while disco seemed to be an unusually popular influence on traditional pop, which sometimes worked quite well but wasn't always successful. Here are some examples of why 1998 wasn't the best, imo: Believe it or not, this went all the way to #2 in America. Montell Jordan really should have just been a one-hit wonder, as "This Is How We Do It" was really his only good song, while the rest of his hits were just lousy or forgettable. How did we get from soft, dreamlike sex jams like "Freak Me" and "Freek'n You" to desperate idiocy like this? Again, this was not a lightweight hit, as it was the 24th biggest song of the entire year according to Billboard. I think every other r&b hit this year sounded exactly like this, basically. It's not as insultingly crappy as "Body Bumpin' (Yippie-Yi-Yo)", but it's still really tasteless. This was on my worst songs of the '90s list, and with good reason. It's like "Thong Song", only even worse because it's also underwritten and miserable. Up with Mariah Carey's clumsy usage of Cameo's "Candy" for the trainwreck "Loverboy", Monifah's "Touch It" is undoubtedly one of the worst cases of sampling in any pop song. I didn't even realize this was based on something else originally, but now that I've heard its source material, Laid Back's "White Horse", a robot-themed synthpop song from the early-to-mid-'80s, I can say with confidence that this takes a complete dump over a good composition. The breathy vocals, the barely existent melody, the uncomfortably sleazy lyrics, the obnoxious guest rapper, and the shrill synthesizers newly applied to the backdrops, and altogether causing the sampled production sound like a raucous mess, make "Touch It" one of my least favourite songs of the entire decade, with only "Kitty" by the Presidents of the United States of America rivaling it in suckage. On an overall level, 1998 is actually still a pretty good year for music, with a lot of variety and some quality classics as to be expected from the 1990s, but since it has fewer truly great songs and far more awful or mediocre ones than the years within its vicinity, it ends up being one of the weaker '90s years for music. 1998 excelled far more in the world of video gaming, if you ask me.
