Re: 2010 = most artists & fans going retro 90's

I have been thinking about this for about a month and it dawned on me a few days ago when I was surfing through channels and saw a listing on VHI Classic beside Totally 80's was another listing titled So 90's and that kind of confirmed what I had been thinking. I started into the 90's well into Jr. High School and ended the decade (1999) right at 21 yrs. of age. whoo-hoo!

-I revisted some of the 90's music in the links below-

I can only hope that my fellow orgers that had childhoods in the 70's & 80's don't piss on the 90's too badly, especially if we have die-hard 90's fans around here somewhere.

From my end, I'm not pissing on it(it was the decade where I 1st started to build my music library from).

But looking back, and I know somebody else might feel this way too, its like the "depression" almost everything sounded so moody, dark and VERY melancholy.

Not that I have a problem with it(hell, some days I'm ALL for it) but usually I shy away from that period(musically).

With that said, its a FAAAAAR cry from the bullshit we're going through now(musically that is) but looking at the bright side, more young people now are relying on their listening experience more to the pre-80s music than before. Thank you internet.

Hell, the 1990s never left as far as the mainstream goes. Yeah, there was some great housy type dance songs in the early 1990s but they were mainly in the gay clubs. As far as the radio goes, the same bullshit that's all over the airwaves today is the same bullshit that was all over the airwaves back then. We haven't had a style change at all (at least R&B-wise) since the early 1990s. It's been slow to midtempo shit hop and adult contemporary. Nothing's changed.

The '80s was much cooler than the '90s but the '90s still have a place in my heart.

The 90s didn't really have too much going on except for the silly boy bands and the birth fuckface squarepants.

and alt-rock, grunge, gangsta rap, sensitive female singer-songwriters, alternative electronic stuff.... the 90's had a LOT going on.

It just dawn on me as of April 12, 2010.

So we're going to hear a lot of how "great" the 1990's were.

And for the record, I think I'm finally getting old and I'm still age 35.

Anyway, here is the first two of our 90's flashback:





Nuttin' Nyce were a girl group that came out within the same generation that included En Vogue, TLC, SWV, & Jade. But unlike those other group, Nuttin' Nyce only last one career album.

I'll have more to follow depending on everyone else's interest in this thread. I can only hope that my fellow orgers that had childhoods in the 70's & 80's don't piss on the 90's too badly, especially if we have die-hard 90's fans around here somewhere.

Like that trance type stuff? Boring. It was great in the early 1990s when it was house and the majority of the artists were black but when the blacks abondoned it and it turned into trance, it became boring as hell because all the funkiness left from it. When it was still house, it was like a reincarnation of disco, which was great.



A lot going on but all boring things.

I don't don't care for a lot of gangsta rap, except for a few, I prefer alternative hip hop. Next are R&B and some Pop music, other than that, I don't care about those other genres from the 90s.
