90s Music

Overall I was a fan of 90s music. With the introduction of alternative and grunge rock such as R.E.M and Nirvana it was a nice change from the poppy 80s of Prince and MJ. Although I never have been a fan of country and the exploding country fans really was not appealing to me because I do not understand what is so amazing about country music. I do particularly enjoy hip hop/rap and the 90s was a big time for it. Debut albums such as Illmatic by Nas and Reasonable Doubt by Jay Z came out in the 90s and are some of my favorite rap albums if all time. The west coast hip as well was a particularly large part of hip hop in America with rapper Dr. Dre and Tupac leading the west coast. Nirvana with the abrasive album "In Utero" was a huge part of the grunge success in America. Overall the 90s music was a time of grunge rock and gangsta rap music, and both these genres I particularly enjoyed listening to.

Music has drastically changed from he 60s to he 90s. The music of the sixties was often lead by a guitar with simple melodies and corny and cheesy lyrics. Then moving into the seventies the electric guitar and that extended into the 80s. I believe as technology advanced so did the music and this was due to the fact that of music like gangsta rap and techno. The music of rap and techno do not really have instruments as much as loops and technology integrated into the music. The music has changed drastically from the 60s and I believe that this was due to technology because it gave a chance for artists to be more creative and expand ideas into another level that they could not have done before.
