90s Plus listeners probably have a pretty good idea of why they tune in to the station, but they might not be quite as clear on why the 90’s produced such amazing music.
The decade was characterized by a unique combination of cultural, societal and technological changes that broadly influenced music, resulting in a melting pot of genres and styles. Alternative, grunge, hip-hop, and pop music dominated the decade with iconic artists like Nirvana, Tupac Shakur, Tori Amos, and the Spice Girls redefining the musical landscape.
The music produced in the 1990s was characterized by its raw energy, lyrical depth and catchy hooks, leading to a pivotal decade in music history that continues to influence contemporary artists today. It remains a nostalgic favorite among music fans, including our very own programming wizard DJ RichJams, host of the 90s Vibes show. You can catch him live on Saturdays at 2 pm Eastern, 11 pm Pacific!
