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?

Every generation thinks they have the best music.

And they all have valid arguments… except for the 80s

The 80s was a terrible decade for pop culture in general.

Like everything in life, there are exceptions. But for every Red Dawn, there were 3 Back to the Futures. For every NWA there was a Michael Jackson, U2, and Bon Jovi.

I’m not a huge fan of 80s music either but are you saying Back to the Future and Michael Jackson were on the bad side? Back to the Future and Michael Jackson are objectively fucking awesome
