Talk:Timeline of trends in music (1990-1999)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One band that needs to be mentioned in this article, that was a major influence in metal, not to mention started the creation of a new genre (nu-metal) was Korn. I just think they need to at least be mentioned.

[edit] Post Punk Started (by Fugazi) in '93??
The statement that Fugazi first made "rumblings in the underground" leading to the creation of emo and post-punk (sic) in 1993 is absurd, and ignores the history of Fugazi, emo, and post-punk.
[edit] What?
"Nirvana leader Kurt Cobain shoots himself in the head with a Remington Shotgun, thus ending grunge, Nirvana, his life, and the 93-94 noise rock time never to be as popular as it was when In Utero was released in 1993."
Not only does that not make grammatical sense, but Nirvana wasn't "noise rock." --Macarion 18:23, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Summary of the 1990's and Metallica
I think Metallica should be added as the black album is the 26th best selling album in the USA. Also, there should be a general summary paragraph describing the overall tone of music in the 1990's. I would think mention of the Alternative/Metal bias in the early 90's to Pop/techno in the mid-90's to the latin craze in the late 90's to boy bands.

[edit] Myspace
I deleted this statement from 1999 in music: MySpace.com begins a brand new trend in underground artists and it boosted the nu-metal and post grunge scene. According to the article on myspace, the original domain name was registered in 1998 as a file-sharing site, but did not become the community networking website it is today until 2003. If someone can offer something to support this statement, then replace it by all means, but until then, I think it is unlikely that myspace played a significant part in musical trends in 1999.Phil500 04:48, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Major cleanup needed...!
This article is very unfocused, it mostly seems to be random stuff that happened during the 90s... And why the focus on dividing everything by countries/regions? There are other, much more relevant ways to group music trends... Someone has to clean up this article, IMO. 84.217.135.167 19:22, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 1995?
Why is this section so crap, loads happened in 1995 - ZEROpumpkins 08:59, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Where's my Hip-hop?
This article lacks any hip-hop events (i.e. no mention of 2pac and notorious b.i.g.) (202.172.117.45 10:25, 6 March 2007 (UTC))
- Be bold - if you have something worthwhile adding, why not have a go at editing the article yourself? However, I believe that other editors have previously indicated that the deaths of 2Pac and B.I.G. are not relevant for inclusion on this page - we are looking at trends in music over time, not simply births and deaths, however notable they may be. Instead, a better addition might relate to the musical styles of both artists, their commercial and critical successes, and the manner in which hip hop progressed throughout the decade.--Phil500 (Talk / Contribs) 07:54, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
I was thinking along the lines of "1996, first double rap album, all eyez on me released". Or similar. (202.172.117.45 04:42, 10 March 2007 (UTC))
