One is even called MASE lol (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5827729&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=3986969#49626144) |

Date: January 28th, 2026 10:15 AM Author: arousing psychic 1990 and 1991 were still part of the really shitty music period that went from around 1988-1991, where "80s music" was finished culturally and "90s music" hadn't gotten going yet.

Date: January 28th, 2026 10:21 AM Author: adventurous frisky rehab Very wrong and you were likely too young to get what was happening. Fall 91 is the grunge breakout, but even if you want to call that the cutoff of the prior period hip hop is in this weird place like MC Hammer is massive and Vanilla Ice comes out, but it’s understood in real time that these are corporate co-opts and the better shit is happening without any major label support like Ice Cube going solo. In pop you have massive generational releases like Mariah Carrey first shows up, Madonna drops Vogue and Boyz II Men basically invent the entire playbook for male pop artists in the next 15 years.

Date: January 28th, 2026 10:16 AM Author: adventurous frisky rehab 1990 is wrong because the most dynamic geopolitical and cultural changes are happening then ie people always want to point to 91 bc of grunge but if you expand it to 87/88 to 92 it’s a massive shift across every axis of the culture, politics, economy, intl relations etc etc. I recall there being a weird lull in the 97-98 range like handoffs had happened from cooler shit to gayer/dumber/lamer versions of the same shit and the first indications of how fucking terrible millennials’ taste was started to come through. EG LFO came along in that period and the boy bands are first starting and therefore at the lamest/most corporate/gayest. Or a band like Bush is a good example. They always kinda sucked but their second record that came out at the end of 96 was awful and you heard it on the radio all the time. TV was also in between waves as some of the core 90s stuff like Seinfeld ended but you didn’t yet have HBO at the golden age of TV level they reached by 99. Movies similarly were weirdly bad in that range after 94-96 being this huge indie breakout combined with awesome major studio movies and then 99 is obvs the goat.
