Popular Post GODNA IS A QUEEN Posted March 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2020 Let's look at the facts: Record sales were at an all-time high so that means people were interested. The 90s and early 2000s was the only era where practically every major musical genre was thriving. We saw the rise of genres like pop, electronica, neo-soul, techno, house, trance, country-pop, teen-oriented music, sampling in hip-hop, chipmunk soul, latin pop, pop-punk, post-grunge, britpop and SO much more. EDM was literally birthed in the 90s. We saw once-in-a-lifetime artists like Eminem, Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, Madonna, Missy Elliott, Janet Jackson, Alanis Morissette, blink-182, Green Day, 2Pac, Notorious B.I.G., Lil' Kim, TLC, Avril Lavigne, No Doubt, Coldplay, Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, JAY-Z, Bjork, Beyonce, NSYNC, BSB, Spice Girls, Fiona Apple, Erykah Badu and so many more lay the platform for the modern age of music and release acclaimed works of art in their respective genres that continue to be celebrated today. We had the rise of mega-producers like Max Martin, The Neptunes, Timbaland, Kanye West, Just Blaze, Babyface and Rodney Jerkins who all played a major role and influence in music that continues to stand the test of time. In addition to a diverse music scene, there was also a huge demand in music film and video. I'd argue and say the majority of the greatest music videos of the last 40 years were birthed around the Y2K era. Abstract visuals, intricacy, and big-budget projects that you rarely see anymore like nowadays where artists are filming their videos on iPhones. Festivals like Lillith Fair and Coachella also came to light around that era; Coachella being arguably the biggest music festival of the last decade. So, what do you guys think? Were the mid-to-late 90s and early 2000s the greatest era in music? If not, what was? Discuss. 4 14 Quote Link to comment

babyimmafreak90 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 The answer is yes I think that era was a huge change in sound from what came before and it is still influencing music today. As far as measurable success goes, artists today wish they could achieve the numbers. The diversity, the artists, the big budget productions, the music videos. It was a golden era still fondly remembered. 2 5 Quote Link to comment

She and Xtina beat Britney for her only two nominations at the Grammys that year. 3 minutes ago, DignifiedLove said: Is she not?

I think she was more for teens and young adults, than the moms. 4 minutes ago, DignifiedLove said: Let's just say I had a blackout era Ok I wanna hear this. Spill it. Quote Link to comment
