1990s was the peak prosperity of US civilization. From best music to best promise of hope and wealth distribution. 9/11 attacks were the point of the beginning of the end really.
Completely disagree. Modern music is super good. So many crazy talented artists and such a delicious infusion of genres. So good.
If you know anything about the music industry and publishers today it a complete shit show. No I'm not talking about the artists out there, music will always evolve and art will always be expressed however. The industry is fucked and enshittified. Ticketmaster is a scam, concert prices are ridiculous and a scam, the market for artists is only about huge consolidated record publishers, everything is Spotify and subscription now. No the 90s were definitely peak if you've lived it and could access music on tapes and CDs and had a Discman. If you haven't lived it you only have today's experience and exposure to music. Content on Radio today is also shit. YouTube is the only a forum for independent artists with no chance of airwaves exposure.
I agree. The days of albums and CDs, and record stores. In the 70s we were able to go to concerts and pay for tickets using our baby-sitting money, or our allowances. We saved up for albums. We had to save up, but it was affordable. Now parents are spending thousands of dollars to get their children to concerts. Seriously? WTF??
