You kids and your reflections...Quote from: "Bricktop"
The nineties were, in musical terms, a dead end street in the wrong side of town. It was the era when the music died, or to be more precise, was corporatised. Artists were tailored to the demographic sector that was willing to spend money on them. So now we have fabricated noise makers like Britney Spears and Justin Bieber who leech money from pubescent girls who know no better.
In fact the whole entertainment industry targets females as the major source of revenue. I had the misfortune of watching the latest irrelevant episode in the increasingly dull Star Wars saga, and lo and behold, the principle character was a female.
Not like in my day. I grew up with the Beatles and James Bond!!!
So one of the principle characters in the first 3 Star Wars films wasn't a woman???.....Geeze, all this time I thought Princess Leia was a chick. Now I'm confused....
BTW, you are wrong about a lot of the music of the 90s. While the era did give rise to that awful hip-hop stuff and female exploitation rose to an all new level......rock went back to being closer to the late 60s early 70s in it's feel and sound.
The real death of music happened in the late 70s and through the 80s when corporate rock flourished especially with the help of media outlets like MTV and VH-1. Disco started the slow slide into the musical grave and don't get me started on the absolute horror that crap is.
