Music in the 1990's

This song is now one of my favorite 90s eurodance songs.

I think one thing too, I can hear all my eurodance music in isolation, so to speak. I usually don't see the music videos, or the singers, so to me, I only hear music, nothing else, so it might affect my opinion compared to actually living in the 90s.

Yeah, I didnt really like the early forms of Psy - it just felt like a weak offshot of Goa at the time, to me - didnt really feel like it came into it's own and became it's own true and recognisable style until acts like Cosmo and such came out during the 00's IMO.

There was Xerox & Illumination's XI and the newer X-Dream was great too but apart from that, yeah, Cosmo-style glitch darkpsy pretty much owned a place in my head back then.

Edit: something went wrong with the quoting LOL

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense, Knives. When I was a kid in the nineties, I'd have one of the music channels on (usually TMF, because we couldn't get MTV where I lived, unless by pay-per-view), so I would very much associate the eurodance acts of the time with their videos and their image.

But similar to how you experience eurodance now, I haven't watched all too many music videos as of 2006, so even modern music, I only know by 'sound' and not by their videos. And isn't that how it's supposed to be, honestly? The music matters a lot more than the artist's image in most cases, and music videos especially are almost entirely promotional tools that tend to have very little to do with the piece of music composed.

Also, it's kind of a funny experience for me to be talking to someone who hasn't actively experienced most of the 90s (you're only 4 years younger than I am! My cousin of 21 years old was all over the 90s. She was a big 2Unlimited and Spice Girls fan)... Makes me feel old...

These were some of the better bands of the 90's.
I didn't discover them until the 2000's .
Manic Street Preachers are still making some very good music.
"The Holy Bible" was one of the best albums of all time.

Suede has some pretty good songs. My favorite is "Animal Nitrate".

Yay! I like the entirety of Suede's first album, but not just. And I like most Manics albums. Did you hear Journal For Plague Lovers?

I have heard "The Journal for Plague Lovers". It's pretty good but I like the earlier Manics albums better.

Ah, OK.

Well, that's all thanks to my parents, for better or worse.
