The 90s is the worst decade for music. The decade started with the shitty peak of hair metal, but then Grunge came along and was a huge step back in terms of music quality. after that with the flood of alternative crap after it took almost the whole decade for rock music to recover. We also have all the creatively bankrupt music from every older band. It seems like the worst album from every band around pre-90s was some mid 90s album, like Metallica's Load, Mtley Cre's Generation Swine, and so many others

But it wasn't just rock music that was on the decline. This was the decade that country music fully became unlistenable. Shit like "Achy Breaky Heart" was the start of it. And by the end we had complete crap like Toby Keith and Kenny Chesney

And worst of all was the rise of the shitty boy bands like Backstreet Boys and NYSNC. Pop music ended the decade at its most annoying with the start of Britney Spears.

The 90s was not all bad, hell I think there still might have been more good than bad. I love stuff like Primus, Rage Against the Machine, White/Rob Zombie, Smash Mouth, and most the Ska music. There were also a lot a great bands that got their start in the 90s but had their best work in the 2000s like System of a Down, Deftones, Ayreon, Incubus, and Red Hot Chili Peppers. But over all the 90s is the worst decade of music (and most other things) and I fucking hate the nostalgia for it

Also in a shorter hot take, Nu-metal is fucking awesome and does not deserve any of the hate it gets
