I finished watching the VH-1 I Love the 90s marathon yesterday, and one thing that particular retrospective was dripping with was cynicism. Dean Esmay has posted a huge list of what he liked about the 90s. I’ll add this much: it is really a lot of fun growing up shifting one’s musical tastes from elevator-ballads, to hair metal, to grunge, and finally to pop, coming full circle and ditching any semblance of snobbery that I have towards the auditory medium.
