I agree. The 1970s were disco, the 1980s were punk, the 1990s was New Wave, and the 2000's was the 2000's.
I'm old enough to remember Spice Girl mania.
People who never brought a record knew all the songs, because they were played on the radio, and every store and restaurant played local stations. They were in the newspapers and in magazines. They were mentioned on the local news shows.
I've never heard a Taylor Swift song played in public. All the stores and restaurants that have radio play dedicated oldies stations. No new music at all. I haven't watched the local news in years, and newspapers and magazines are gone.
I think you're going to see smaller and smaller groups getting excited by niche interests. You're not going to see Beatlemania ever again.
nah, new wave was very 80s, I'd divide the 90s between grunge and rave
