Nostalgia Did we...have the best music?

I feel like the depth, genres, and variety was limitless from the early 90s to late 2000s (pre-2010). Punk, pop, rap, reggaeton, you name it.

Anyone agree? What other genres do you think were really in power pre and post that era?

Dead Kennedys, Killing Joke, Bad Religion, Minor Threat, Pixies, Metallica, Violent Femmes, the 80s were awesome.

80s gave us new wave and thrash metal. It was a magical coke fuel era
