Because earlier music was created by artists who had to get by through talent and work their way through crappy clubs. Madonna, the Beatles, Queen, CCW, you name it.
In the 90's the music industry was hijacked by those assholes in the Clear Channel monopoly. Music was no longer music, but a commercial product every bit as mass produced as McDonalds food, and every but as tasteless. You could have the shittiest artist whose music sounds like putbulls fighting accompanies by diseased monkeys banging pots and pans, ad it will reach the top 40 simply becuase of its corporate backing. It only got even worse from there- there are times I think Justin Bieber was set out as a practical joke on us from the beginning. |

Third Eye Blind - their self titled album - was that 90s? Better than Ezra - Deluxe - was that 90s? You will be hard pressed to find finer music, IMO. If you don't have these CDs, for God's sake get them. Timeless perfection. |

Most who say 90's music sucks are referring to Pop, Rock, Top-40, etc. The 90's saw Grunge, Rave, Ambient, Rap, Hip-Hop, Club, House, and a host of other
Indie College music wipe Rock and Roll from the radio. It sucks big time compared to past decades. There are a few Gems though. |

For me the 90's were a sad time because at some point rock and roll became almost universally uncool. The gangsta rap fad was in full swing though, and the 90's even gave us a pathetic new term: Wigger. Having long hair and playing guitar got you laid in the 80's, and in the 90's it became a cock blocker.
GUITAR SOLOS WENT GOODBYE IN THE 90's!!! Slash was one of the last greats. No one gives a shit about guitar players anymore. Rock still existed obviously, but it had to be "grunge" in order to get on the radio, and after Curt Cobaine blew his head off, grunge pretty much died too. The biggest change was that rock bands in the 70's and 80's were mega bands, whose albums were amazing, and every song on them were worthy of worship. After the 90's every album gets one or two hits, and the rest meh. The era of rock gods seems to be dead. Looking back on it now, I'd say the 90's was a transition period from real musicians to techno/dubbing/DJ's. |

I totally like 90s music.
I was a 501 jean wearing 80s rocker who went grunge and 2nd gen punk in the 90s. True the area rock shows went good by, For those about to Rock... Fire. Blamm... cannon mother fucking roared 
We salute you The 90 festivals were good. Lallapaloza, vans warp tour, they were solid. Those were the days of the blue and green hair. Chile pepper and pearl jam... fuck yea, that was solid music. 
Of course the 70s had the classics Queen, Kiss Army and even earler was totally great stuff. 
You better never forget the original bad ass 
2000 until now, I dont know what the hell is going on with the auto tuners digital stuff. My kid and wife like it, but not me. Give me some Johnny Cash, Arosmith, AC/DC, Zep, Iron Maiden, Nirvana, NOFX, Tool. Now I listen to talk radio and my giant digital library. |

Because there's a large 45+ demographic here who prefers pre-90s music.
I turned 16 in 1990, so I naturally have an affinity for the music of that decade. My favorite band is Alice in Chains, whose heyday ran concurrent with many heavy experiences I had while coming of age. We can argue all day about which music sucks and which music rules, but I believe it really comes down to what we listened to between the ages of 15-25. |

Quote Historyyou realize this entire post does nothing but confirm the fact 90s music was shit. the 90s was so aweful I started listening to classic pop and rock because of it. the 40s had big band, which was pretty kick ass. the 50s had the dawn the rock n roll, the 60s had the beginning of metal and hard rock, the 70s had disco which was shit but there was zepplin, ac/dc, Kansas, zz top etc in the 70s, the 80s rocked with metal and hair bands, even pop was reasonable back then. the 90s went to shit in a seattle fueled shit fest. you posted what you thought rocked of the 90s. I'm gonna post some real music: the 40s

Why does 90's music get a bad rap?
The answer is pretty much in the question. For me anyway. The 90's marked the "mainstreaming" of "gangsta" rap and modern ghetto style "R&B." It was the start of the end for our culture. |

There is a ton of great music in all decades...before 2000. Then it's in spots, at best.
There are a few bands that have laid tracks in this new millenium that I love, but few and far between...and most will never see American radio play. |
