What music genre best defined the 1990's?
152007
Grunge.  Nirvana.  It was as defining as the British Invasion of the sixties.

Wow....tough question.\n\n70's:  Anything I could dance to like the BeeGees or KC and the Sunshine Band.\n\n80's:  I still love hearing Joan Jett and the Blackhearts "I love Rock And Roll"\n\n90's:  Anything by my favorite band, Collective Soul\n\nNow:  Let's see.....what is in the cd player right now?  Right now I have the song Dare by Gorillaz playing.  Good dance song.\n\nI dj, so I'm always looking for things I can play for others to move to.

When you look at the music created between early 1980-1987, there was a genre of musical talent I believe the world will never see again. \nWhere has this talent gone?\n\nThe 90's music was what you listened to when your 5 seconds short of suicide, and the 70's music was simply 1-dimension heavy rock(for the most part)\n\n60's music was fast-beat 3 minute songs designed for AM radio\n\nAnd the 'music' today? Horrific...to say the least.\n\nThe 80's were a great era.

Disco...a very identifible sound from the 70's.It was party/dance music that was at its peak in 1977,1978, and 1979. There was alot of good songs from that time and alot of one-hit wonders also. Fun music,fun times!!

I think you mean culturally like how we viewed Eisenhower in the 50s and the early part of Kennedy,\n\nI would view the 90s in this way.  This is the era before the GWOT (war on terror) just like Eisenhower and Kennedy was just before vietnam.

First of all, the 90´s decade, as 80´s, had a huge diversity of musical proposals, thus all genres were exposed widely with many artists & bands; we too saw the rise and dawn of them as well. But to answer your question, which depends of the genre you liked (or still like) most, here they are:\n\nGrunge - Alternative\nNirvana - Smells like teen spirit\n\nRock - Power Ballad\nAerosmith - I don´t wanna miss a thing\n\nAnd many, many more, but believe it or not, these two maked it big nation and worldwide, so, considering that point and according to a lot of sources, they have to be called the winners.

me! u cannot compare 80's music to today's music. during my high school days, when i was 16, i listened to phil collins, the jets, flock of seagulls, duran-duran, men at work etc. but i also like some of today's muse like weezer and green day.

Rock today and rock back then talk about totally different things. Rock back then was more soulful and todays it's just emo.

AHHHH!!! I cannot stand the music made today! I only listen to 90s music, esp. NIRVANA and Blind Melon! There are sooo many more awesome bands of the 90s such as Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, and Sublime, etc. but Nirvana and Blind Melon have to be my favorites by far! All I have is 90s music on my iPod and I only listen to the 90s Alternative stations on my satellite radio.\n\n:-( Sorry to say that I can't think of a band out there today similar to the awesome bands you named but I just had to say something about this question!\n\nLong live 90s music! \nR.I.P Kurt & Shannon
