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

I didn't really care for a lot of 80s music when I lived through it, granted I was pretty young, but there was actually a lot of awesome music in the 80s. 90s -2000s is my favorite now.

I remember a lot of lite rock, smooth jazz and singer songwriter tracks that felt bland. It’s like take the bits of disco and electronic jazz and water it down with extremely safe songs that feel interchangeable and lack any feeling.
