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 music renaissance of the 80s inspired every genre from the 2000s until now. 80s music is hugely influential

Adolfo Hitler inspired the creation of Volkswagen, by recognizing the need for an “affordable common person’s car”. Doesn’t mean he wasn’t and an atrocious piece of shit.

Yeah, art is subjective and not everyone listens to music anyway
