Why was 90s music so soulless compared to previous decades

it wasnt in fact in a lot of ways its the most soulful

90s music is actually extremely soulful to me. It was markedly more sincere and vulnerable than the 80s and actually offered something original compared to the 2000s, where endlessly reviving old trends became the thing. The 90s are comparatively so hopeful and not cynical.

souls don't exist you fucking retards

Those were not the most popular genres of the decade, you zoomie retard.

>>126780496
90s had the best pop music of all time. It had the compositionally complexity of 60s and 70s music with better technology and production values than 80s music, and with more soul than anything that came in the 2000s.

90s music had the most soul.

innovation and risks in music dwindle each decade making more of it sound sterile

>>126780876
Late 60s music was 100 times more innovative than 50s music.

>>126780890
obviously i was referring to more modern times 80's-now. there's no doubt that music exploded in the 60's and peaked in the 70's

Frogposters get the rope.

>>126780491
Not only is this statement completely retarded in of itself. This retard seems to not even understand what soul means in the metaphorical sense that OP used. Anon likely believed he was being smart when he wrote this too, sad.

>>126780491
You're making an objective truth claim that you cannot verify, stop being a dumb redditor saying retarded shit to look smart. You do not.

>>126781037
He probably is soulless. So it's just projection. Miserable fuck.

>>126781053
Gnostics would definitely call him a hylic.

>>126780507
This bitch probably makes so much money.

>>126780156 (OP)
you misspelled 80s

>>126780507
Rolling for shit cunt

>>126780156 (OP)
you meant 80s didn't you?

please Dr Gay
90's was the last great decade

the 80s sucked. everything was embossed by synthslop production (the precursor of modern trap and chartsslop). the only alternative were punks who couldn't play their instruments and weren't half as good as their 70s forerunners. 90s music gave much more attention to interesting production. Grunge buried Hair Metal, Post-hardcore and alt rock were a big advancement over 80s clunk, Metal and Electronic diversified, Hip Hop was at its peak etc

80's were awful but we got the rise of metal and alternative rock so it's still a good decade. the fuck did the 90's give us?

>>126786874
all the great alternative, hip hop and electronic albums?

>>126780156 (OP)
Was it? The 90s were basically the 80s peaking in a less phony form.
So they dropped the big puffy hair and lame tranny looks and focused more on the music, continuing trends already set in the 80s.

The 90s are pretty much the apotheosis of all that experimentation with genres from the 80s.

>>126780156 (OP)
The 90s cared about authenticity and having a soul and being raw. The 80s were obsessed with production and technology. Sounds a lot like now musically although now zoomers think it's acceptable to be a complete cock sucker sell out. The 90s hated those people
