We here at CF know that music recycles on a two decade basis. For instance, 70's classical rock became popular again in the 90's and 80's music made its revival in the 00's. Now we are in the 10's and it's time for the 90's to come back. Exhibit A: Saw a Pepsi commercial ripping off the Coca-Cola polar bears. The theme music for the commercial: Montell Jordan's 1995 classic, This is How we Do It. Admit it, you love it and you want it.

lol at every generation stretching their egos on their music. I'm pretty sure everyone out of the 90s has a much lower opinion of 90s music than 90s people. etc. for all decades of music after the 70s.
I think so... http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/07/14/idUS73176543220110714 '120 Minutes': MTV's Beloved '90s Alternative Rock Showcase Returns July 30 Hey, man, is that alternative rock? Well, turn it up, dude! New episodes of "120 Minutes," the seminal weekly celebration of so-called "post-modern" music that MTV launched in 1986 and cancelled in 2003, will return to MTV2 starting Saturday, July 30, at 1 a.m. ET (10 p.m. PT), the network announced Thursday.
I'm sure there's a lot of cheap irony in these sorts of things. Also, the best music of any given era wasn't always the most popular music. This is especially true with the nineties.

The 20 year music cycle has changed -- we seem to be stuck on 80's sounding music for more than a decade now.
I would think this indicates more than anything that the music isn't making a "comeback." If it's tame or predictable enough for a damn non-alcoholic beverage commercial, with freaking cartoons, then, no, it's actually ****ing lame. Furthermore, I wouldn't consider Montell Jordan '90s music; it was late '80s New Jack Swing that just seemed new because R&B/Rap was actually just transitioning to full pop status, and MTV's segmented programming back then meant it took forever to circulate.
I thought the same thing when I saw that commercial. That maybe ad planners are collectively choosing 90s as their next theme. To me where the 80's was DATED but in a fond way, I think most the 90s is just plain irrelevant. 90's went with the "Reality Bites/Everything Sucks" mentality, and it made its bed with it. I WOULD support a FULL 90s resurgence, dont WANT to be cynical but something tells me they're not gonna crank up Soup Dragons or Stereo MCS in high gear for us.
Pearl Jam, STP, Nirvana and AIC were all 90's, and they were all pretty badass. Hell, you even got this gem right before the millenium. <iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/PSYxT9GM0fQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
the 90's was a great decade for underground music, particularly club music. i think it was the last of the true artists and the 2000's brought in corporate pop. there was great innovation (nin, nirvana, sonic youth, detroit techno, dnb, timbaland/magoo/missy e) and total crap (michael bolton, simply red, rick astley) that said, im not eager for the return of the shamen, jesus jones, and emf.
Zippery outdoor vests, designer sunglasses, lesbian subtext. I think they stole that slo-mo running crap from rap videos.
i loved the angst ridden rock of the 90s. From nirvana to pearl jam to nin to soundgarden to silverchair to tool to rage against the machine to the toadies. A great soundtrack to go along with my forced anti-social life. Forced meaning i could overcome my acne, braces, and chipped tooth with my skater haircut until the 2000s.
I could not disagree more. Everything about rap in the 90's was thugs/gangstas, and everything wrong with the genre. In 50 years, it will look like the crap it actually was.
