Okay other than a new decade what are your views on what the main differences that we all experienced in the 90's versus the 80's? Movies got more expensive, computers and the internet took over a great deal of our time. Have we totally become a society that cannot survive without the materialistic aspect?

What do you believe is the biggest characteristic that separates the 80's from the 90's?????

Any takers???????

In my opinion, the 90s lacked any personality whatsoever. Music from the 90s totally blows (for the most part) and I see little redeeming value in it. When Pearl Jam & Nirvana hit the scene, music took a turn for the better (briefly) then died. Everyone since has tried to imitate them.

I wrote the long version, a few posts ago, on this very same subject, so I won't go in to it all again, cause I am sure everyone is sick of my personal views on this subject. I can sum it up to 1 word: Everything.

Turn for the better?!?!?!, oh gods, when those 2 sh*t Bands popped up, music only got worse, and I blame Kurt Cocaine for the sh*t music we have today, he popularized the no solo, only play 3-4 chord style of crap we hear on the radio today with his grunge crap.

Oops, sorry, was goin' off on a rant. [Big Grin] , what was this Topic about again? [Razz] lol

The one good thing that Nirvana and Pearl Jam (amongst others) did was to get us back to live music. Before then, the nineties was all about processed, sampled, re-digitized, bland pap. At least now we see some musicians releasing music, and we don't get a succession of spotty teenage computer geeks at #1 in the charts.

From an obvious old guy...... (who loves playing in a decent band)

Devolution here,

I was a teen in both the 80's and the 90's, the main difference in the realm of music and movies,(and like Isis, I think that people should check older posts before bringing up topics that were discussed only a couple of days ago. Not that it is bad to talk about it again, but it's like Deja Vu all over again.) after the longest parentheses block ever, the difference is that many bands had their great songs on soundtracks to movies and that was the only place it could be found. Now any song from a movie is on the soundtrack and the album from the band too.

Just one observation, good topic, but it could go on and on and on. They were different times, apples and oranges, a time of awareness vs. a time of prevention, synth vs. grunge, if you weren't old enough to live the whole thing that stinks but there are too many differences to list on even the longest thread. You wrote "we all" so maybe it was just an opinion that you were looking for, and that is cool, but like Isis said, everything was different, but if you want my honest opinion, things usually change over a couple of years, not a decade. 1980-84 was different from 85-89, It's all how it is looked at.

We are DEVO
