this just reinforces my theory that pop music diverged enough around then that there's no real defining genre of the 90's music scene. grunge was pretty much dead by 1994 and then came a slew of poor imitators making love to it's corpse, but for the rest of the decade it was pretty much whatever the record companies decided to throw at us.

top 20 billboard hits have always been kind of crappy, honestly

oh true, but good or bad, the 70s had funk and disco, the 80s had new wave, the 90s had...?
