Decades project 90s

Music of the Day Featuring the music of the 90s with starting with mid 1991 when Nirvana released Smells Like Teen Spirit. A common iconic rock song that is still remembered to this day. Smells Like Teen Spirit is definitely a song that ascended Nirvana to the next level of fame and popularity, becoming one of the most iconic songs and definitely earning them a spot in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame.

Another amazing single that came out is “Whoomp! (there it is)” by tag team. This party single has been considered one of the most popular for the past 25 years. Whilst not being considered the art of music, it is definitely a fun energetic hip hop piece. It hits 5 of the 100 top 90s, songs.

It can still be heard today in the breaks of football or any sporting event.

One major change for music was specifically in the pop and rap genres. In the early 1990s the change in pop and the rise in rap began. This change in popular taste of music had definitely affected American music leaderboards for years to come. With hit songs like “Out of Time” by R.E.M. and some other questionably named songs by N.W.A., rap had hit the top spot on the Billboard 200 for the first time ever.

More on pop. There was a period where hip hop had begun to merge with other genres including dance, country, and alternative rock, and with these pop was created. It is widely regarded that with the birth of modern pop, the mainstream hard rock and rock era ended. Major pop hits include the Macarena by Los del Rio, Wannabe by Spice Girls, and even Smash Mouth by All Star.
