It's fun to reminisce about the late 90s and what a cultural black hole it was. I remember when Limp Bizkit had that "faith" cover and I thought they were just a novelty act... Then they somehow became a movement into themselves.
Music in that era really was trash. You had rapcore, bad pop, horrible early electronic music/electronica, etc... It was the last death throes of the music video/radio dependency era. But also where the music videos were at their peak of gaudiness and excess.
It wasn't just music: tribal tattoos, parachute jeans, wife beaters, puffy jackets, chin straps, etc....
I remember how ground breaking the White Stripes and the Strokes were. We were finally getting good music again.
