man i wish i was alive in the heckin based 90s when the charts weren't all just mindless corporate pop and dance slop and a feminist dyke anthem at #1 and...

Based. You could argue music's peaks were greater before, but finding and listening to music might be the best its ever been, if you have ways to filter the mediocrity. Let pop music and their charts cannibalize themselves.

imagine admitting to not being alive in the 1990s

How the fuck was Bon Jovi that popular both with a band AND solo? He's made some of the worst music I've ever had the misfortune of hearing. Were boomers that tasteless?

Imagine getting filtered by Blaze of Glory.

Spot on. Discovering music you’d like has never been easier; nowadays you don’t need to spend any money to open your ears to new sounds.

the 90s was the biggest cultural wasteland up to that point in human history

it was NOTHING like what the internet (especially /mu/) thinks it was

>>127267600
You have shit taste. He was the ONLY "hair metal" musician/band that had actual good songs.

>>127267418 (OP)
To be honest 1990-91 were still really the late 80s with the "real" 90s beginning in 92.

There's a lot of things that were better in the past so I'm not pretending like everything is awesome now. But there's literally zero argument with music. You can listen to all of it now. It even gives you more cool cred

ok

'pump up the jam' was the jam. guess you had to be there.

>>127267600
he was better looking than brad pitt you fucking faggot.

I thought that was the 80s with all those slick ballads and dated keyboards?

>>127268020
It all started when Kevin Nash got raped that summer

Popular music was so bad in the 90s I ended up thinking I just hated music until I got on the internet

>>127267418 (OP)
I can't even listen to the first 3 songs in that chart without collapsing into total ugly crying after I lost my mom, she liked to play these all the time back then.

>>127271226
I'm sorry your mom had awful taste

If you didn't live it and actually hear the wide variety of music on the radio, then you'll never understand. Charts don't look so good, but there were weird hits and unexpected sounds in the mainstream. Never happens post-90s.

when I saw the video of him cupping his ear by the guitar and giving a thumbs up I vowed that if I every saw him face to face I would smash in his teeth with a brick

Sorry Zoomer, there was no Sadboi tiktok and Fortnite Song Parodies or whatever you fucks listen to in 1990

>The group consists of sisters Carnie and Wendy Wilson, the daughters of Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys, and Chynna Phillips, the daughter of John and Michelle Phillips of The Mamas & The Papas.

Lol that chart was so fucking rigged for nepo babies

>>127269378
The thing about the 80s is that when you get past the cheesy ballads the rest of the music was not all that bad. And most other media was fucking amazing.

Nigga still thinks it's 2018

Animation had not entirely gotten out of the Hanna-Barbara/Disney dark ages slop era.

I'd say 2002 had the most "tf did that happen" Billboard but mostly just because of 9/11 aftermath.

>>127267418 (OP)
And nepobabies between W-P and Nelson.

Those 90s "corporate pop" shit on everything that has been produced in music in the last 15 years. Unfortunately.

I could talk about almost each of them.
Wilson Philips were very mid, but most of the others were fucking great compared to anything in pop today.

Just VIsion of Love is better than Taylor Swift's or Rodrigo's entire careers.

Even a techno/dance song like Pump up the jam had soul, just listen to the vocals. I don't know anyone in music who can sing like that today.

that's like 50s popslop. most of it was still interesting in some way.

>>127269378
The 80s had a really sleazy street-level edge underneath all the slick pop music. It was dangerous. The 90s was just… nothing. Slacker decade.

the 90s had a booming economy and major expansion of the middle class, things felt way softer and more suburban. that was inevitable. now of course sleaze aesthetics returned in post-9/11 era but at the price of being 10x stupider and trashier than anything in the 80s.

>>127273529
idk man but the 90s still had Manson, Korn and those kind of guys for that sleazy underclass vibe

Ton bangers here tbf

Isn’t Technotronic a fake band that used fake black people to fake rap when it really was just some old geezer from the Netherlands?
