90s were fun all around, not just for rock.

For me, it's Hildegard set to beats.

All that stuff only became popular after Enigma turned Sadeness into a major hit in 1991.

I think it was just the spirit of the times.. just like rock and rap widely changed.
Even DCD got in on it (1990).

It may sound off, but I always associate Steve Vai with all of this too. It's not mere shredder music. But New Age Shredder.

the early 90s were very worldly for some reason. i see new age blamed on boomer yuppies/former hippies, but it's something else

Yeah, it wasn't boomers. By the end of the 80s, boomers were getting gloomy as hell.

Forgot this gem. Boomers were already shifting the blame.

"Progress" hadn't fully reared its ugly head yet, and the US won the cold war, so everyone thought we were on our way to unending progress, world peace, and the end of history.

Call me crazy, but I think it could come back. But just a little more realistic.
And you have to get rid of Russians again. lol. Among others.
