@georgetakei I'm a late Xer, so I don't recall the music being all that great. Songs in the key of whinge, I'd call most of it. The best parts of the nineties were the pre-94 stuff.
@georgetakei
Late Gen X here. The music was amazing until around 1997-1998 when boy bands and teenage girls from the Mickey Mouse Club were forced on the airwaves.
@georgetakei
Yep, fairly accurate, though I don't personally think the music was great in general. Certainly some good hits and bands (Seattle grunge was a phenomenon), but music didn't become "good" until Daft Punk became popular with "One More Time." The rise and recession of French House in the following decade was a golden era, as far as I'm concerned.
@georgetakei in the area of the ex GDR all the smell was cigarettes, alcohol and weed. That was essential and there was no money left as a student/pupil to buy fancy perfumes. You know, priorities! :smug:
@georgetakei 90s Europe: Everything smelled like the cigarette smoke of your parents and it was the height of low quality techno so the music sounded like "OOMPTS OOMPTS OOMPTS OOMPTS GRAB MY TITS OOMPTS OOMPTS OOMPTS OOMPTS"
