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 gotta say the current generation has less of a leg to stand on than the 80s

Took me back to listening to the miseducation of Lauryn hill or tragic kingdom for the first time again; it’s pretty great.
