The 90s

verb - The discarding of all technical virtuosity in music, the detuning of your instruments, the adoption of whiney or rapped vocals.

noun - An era whose only redeeming qualities were the destruction of hair metal and the creation of the fantastic Beast Wars cartoon. American music was taken over by Grunge, and again later by Rap, Nu-Metal, and post-grunge. None of these genres had any interesting technical arrangements, and most were filled with self-indulgent lyrics about angst, pain, and how much "life sucks".

Though it only lasted ten years, this decade has set music back nearly thirty years.

a term used by intellectuals who instead of blindly taking the word of old geezers who go on and on about how good basketball was in the 80s/90s actually decided to watch the games of that period themselves and realize how genuinely bad the players of that time were.
