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.

Disagree! You had Prodigee, Daft Punk, Chemical Brothers, Underworld, Crystal Method, Bob Sinclair, DJ Dan, Jamiroquai, Morcheba, Fatboy Slim, Portishead....so much good stuff. Yes, the early 90's dance crap was not good. But there was plenty that was.
