Nineties Music

from the 'Wrestler', yes, 90s music sucks. If I think back to music I listened too on a daily basis, it really is no wonder I moved towards techno and electronic. In the 80's, there were many songs about 'happy' things, people falling in love, hearts breaking, et cetera. Of course, there were also tunes by artists such as U2, who brought politics to the masses. After the seemingly successful concerts of Live Aid, suddenly music had a purpose other than to entertain. To be fair, history tells us that songs have always been used to engage people on societies ills. Now, what does this have to do with this post? Nothing, the songs from the 90s were depressing. After hearing electronic or techno music, there was no going back to top 40 music.
