From what I remember about being a teen in the 90s was that people weren't labelling music genres as much as it is being done nowadays. People were just enjoying them bands without caring about what genre it is called and all that comes with the labels. There was so much originality in the music and sounds created by bands during that period. Other than the big bands already mentioned by others there was also banda like Cop Shoot Cop, Miranda Sex Garden, Rose Chronicles, God Machine, Senser, Prong, Sunny Day Real Estate, Belly, Babes in Toyland, Cranes, Therapy?, Mazzy Star, Suede, Ash, The Wildhearts, Pantera and so many others i cannot recall right at this moment.

Fascinating, I remember a complete opposite - subcultures within subcultures. Straightedge people within HC punk tribe, who perhaps got along with some who were into industrial or EBM, but jointly despised metalheads and especially hard-rockers, who hated old-school punks, who hated Oi skins, etc. etc. All of them hated pop and mainstream, but above all, people who claimed that "they love all kinds of music!" Of course, I'm talking about teenagers, who are stupid and pretentious by default, but I remember a strictly divided teen society. I don't think that there are so many (at least musical) subcultures nowadays, sometimes I hear what kids play from their iPhones, it's usually a mix of unmixable, it's just 'music', no affiliations, no genres, definitively no identities revolving around it.

the fat of the land is one my most favorite albums of any genre ever. i still listen to it all the time start to finish.

Post-grunge was born somewhere between Radiohead's Creep and Bush's first album. 1994 was a total breaking point, Kurt died, Korn, Marilyn Manson and Oasis released their first albums. I would also have mentioned bands like Rage Against the Machine, Tool, Morphine, Massive Attack, and Bjork. Nice work.

I grew up in the 90s, and as far as my mindset is concerned I never really left. I still predominantly listen to the same stuff I did then, and dress in a similar fashion. Unlike the rest of the world when I found something I liked I stuck with it.

Shame I was born in 2000 cause the 90s did look like a lot of fun, grew up listening to a lot of 90s bands through my dad and uncle plus doing my own research. Hate to be one of those "born in the wrong generation" types but honestly with the way the world's going I could quite happily get in a time machine and go back there to witness it myself.

Im so glad you used clueless, I feel like Clueless and Buffy are such quintessentially 90s music wise.

My favorite era of music without a doubt!! Primus, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains, White Zombie, Faith No More, Soundgarden, Janes Addiction, and so much more great music!!

I like to add 2 honorable mentions from MTV's alternative music scene that had an impact on me and a lot of people in my High School. 91 Alice in Chain's Man in a Box video and 93's Tool Sober video.

I was born in 1980, this is all my youth, thanks for the trip to memory lane :)

Hit the nail on the head with the Nine Inch Nails set at Woodstock 94. I still watch it 4 or 5 times a year on KZread. After that set I was a huge fan.

The 90s saw an explosion of so many different music genres, rap, techno grunge and new metal

Quirk was king in the 90's. Idiosyncrasy was sought after! Really cool era of popular music!

In around '98 I saw the video for "The Box" by Orbital one night on MTV's AMP. Marijuana may or may not have been involved. It totally changed my life and was my first exposure to electronic music. That video totally stands up today, and features Tilda Swinton. Absolute masterpiece, in my opinion.

No way. I was a 90s kid, but 80s had far more experimentation and originality imo.

In 1992 Faith No More's "Angel dust" came out. Still listen to it till this day.

My first exposure to Nirvana was seeing the video for Smells Like Teen Spirit during my first month at university in Sep 1991, on City Limits (Canadian MuchMusic's version of 120 minutes, although it predated 120 Minutes by several years and was less mainstream). I enjoyed the song. But what I said to my housemates sort of watching with me was "that sounds kind of like a harder Pixies" (I felt smug years later when I heard the song was, in fact, Cobain's attempt to do a Pixies song). That said, it quickly vanished from the airwaves with little impact. It probably wasn't until early 1992 that the song, and Nirvana, really took off. Until then, it was still Guns and Roses ruling the airwaves, and a mainstream music scene indistinguishable from the late 80s. What really stood out for me as being new were things like My Bloody Valentine. While I respected grunge, it just didn't do it for me like other alternative music did. I'd sit through Pearl Jam's "Evenflow", hoping it would finish soon so they could get around to playing somethig like Mercury Rev's "Chasing a Bee". Of course I'm the same guy in the late 80s who thought "Oh, Nine Inch Nails. That's a bit like Skinny Puppy", and in 1994 was like "Yeah, NIN is cool. Tell me when you get into Einstürzende Neubauten." Personally, I think a lot of what made the 90s important to alternative was its mainstream acceptance, but to me a lot of the really important music didn't exactly become mainstream successes. And, I feel like the 90s glory days were rather short. By 94 we had what I'd refer to as "grunge lite", "punk lite", "industrial lite", etc, (pop versions of alternative) ruling the airwaves when personally, if I wanted pop, I'd rather go back to the days of Fleetwood Mac, etc, insteead of watered down alternative. In the 80s, alternative was where you went to hear well composed, creative music. By the end of the 90s, "alternative" still existed but was watered down by its mainstream success. And I still found myself going instead to things not quite burning up the charts, like Sparklehorse.

Truth… all these years later playing a 90s Hits channel is always satisfyingly diverse. Perfect for road trips.

Looking back having grown up during all this. I was like 15 by 1999. The 90's was a really strange time. It came off the back of the greatness of the 80's and evolved into possibly one of the greatest most innovative decades ever.

Great video. I just turned 18 in 1990, so this decade of music is closest to my heart, and I miss it greatly.

A fever dream sums it up perfectly. Anything could be great in the 90’s. All of the icons were fantastic because they weren’t pretentious and didn’t try too hard.

I'd say I was a "Late 90s / Early 2000s" kid, but I definitely love the music at that time, and it's certainly influenced me in my songwriting.

Love you, dude; keeps getting better and better. Thanks!

The 80's and 90's were both great for music and movies. Just in different ways. The United States seemed to be much more balanced and unified back then. The 80's were just so fun and I think the 90's was one of the best decades ever as far as the films that were released and the music...especially rock music. You had the so called grunge stuff and then other alt rock bands, the british bands, etc. Even Guns N Roses and Metallica that were huge in the 80's both had classic albums in the early 90's as did U2 and R.E.M. There was a lot to listen to and it was the last era before the internet and when MTV was still cool and relevant.

The 90s is where it really all came together. Not everything was wholly unique or new, but it's definitely where things finally clicked and exploded.

I was in high school (north of Seattle) when grunge was huge. YET when I look back I realize there were so many awesome bands from that time that were not necessarily grunge. It was really just a small small small but influential segment.

How about a special on Brit pop/punk? We had some world conquerors like Stone Roses, Oasis and Blur. The stone roses were really cool - maybe a show just on them?! Anyways, really enjoyed this Finn - thanks!❤

Thank you!

I honestly just enjoy your videos. I made a point to subscribe this time as I should have a while ago. You are very good at what you do and it seems to be genuine and not taking cheap shots .Keep it up!

4:10 My father went to the first Lollapalooza. Said it was fun, wish I could have been around for that.

I read it's a video about The 90s and came as soon as possible. As always You did a great work Finn!!!

Just got my DIY or die hoodie this week. Not to mention how soft it is, I've gotten a few ppl coming up saying they love you too.

Thanks for catching me up because I missed out on the last half of the 1990's because of raving so to me it is all early 2000's music!

Janes Addiction, Nine Inch Nails, Soundgarden... the GOATS

Big shout out to Pop Will Eat Itself who kickstarted the whole dance/punk crossover in the early 90s, without whom, Prodigy would not have had the base to appeal to. We had our own separate alternative scene in the UK from late 80s to the early 90s- before Britpop.. PWEI, Wonder Stuff, New Model Army, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, Jesus Jones, Claytown Troupe and many more.. ruled the gig circuit, outselling even Jane's Addiction on their original run on tours before they split. Also shout outs to Meat Beat Manifesto, Levellers, Silverfish, Gallon Drunk and the traveller "Crusty" bands and London squat punk scene..

These video essay style videos are hands down your best ones

Stumbled across your page in ohmygod Nostalgia thank you so much for your content

Finn, I would love to hear your thoughts on Beck. I recall Spin referring to him as a "Beastie Boy with an acoustic guitar" back in the day. Mellow Gold and Odelay were both huge albums and his 1999 album Midnight Vultures is amazing and totally slept on. I'm a big fan and I've wondered if you saw him as one of the quirky, post modern acts you mentioned like Cake, TMBG, Pavement etc, or if you dug him? Also, I'm not a fan of Incubus, but I recall them being pretty big and popular in the nu metal scene and I don't hear too much about them when I see retrospectives on the genre. Thanks for all you do and keep up the great work! ❤

Loser started being played on our hip hop station at first. A few weeks later it switched over to the alternative station. Guess they found out he was white.

Finn doesn't like anything resembling "indie" or remotely challenging like They Might Be Giants. Only "hipsters" listen to that, according to him. Plus, he's from Seattle, so he's gotta represent the GRUNGEY BIG 4.

I remember him being referred to as the fourth Beastie Boy.

Yeaaah, a new upload.. always love seeing new vids ❤

This was a very strange part of my life honestly. The transition from the 90's into the 2000's was very drastic honestly, it's weird to think about it now.

Hey now, I fully credit The Daddies with me wanting to learn to swing dance. (Something I've never actually learned though, lol). And I still rock out to them to this day. They're one of my fav bands.

I miss the 90s so much 🥺 thank u for this awesome analysis

you and mic the snare are my fav music yt channels

It's one of the reason why I liked Kurt Cobain so much and what he did, he didn't just open the door for Grunge he kicked the door open for so many different bands, and he encouraged people to listen to them. Hey Punk Rock MBA could you do one episode on the sadly under talked about band that would have sparked the same kind of musical revolution that Nirvana did, Dayton Ohio's "Brainiac" give their music a listen and you will find light, heavy, dark, electronic, etc. in all of their songs. R.I.P Tim Taylor.

@@davidgerdes1815 LOL 😂 Dave how's O Town going? Conor plays here in S.A. this May.

When you were talking about Marlyn Manson and talked about what would make you want to listen to something more than your parents telling you that you can’t. I’m so glad my parents weren’t like that. They bought me Dr. Dre The Chronic Album, NWA, Snoop, and many more. They also gave me to OK to go to Woodstock 94, but as a 16 year old kid, I couldn’t find anyone that was able to go too, so they bought me the VHS for Christmas that year. My parents were pretty rad

I really enjoy your channel man, good stuff

90’s the most amazing decade! Wow what a time to be alive!! Never felt more like I belonged somewhere ❤

The 70s and the 90s was the best time in music

Great episode, Finn... brought back a few memories

The band that truly opened the door for Grunge/Seattle scene was Soundgarden of all the bands out of Seattle they were the first to sign a major label deal. Without them signing that big deal and getting record companies interested in that scene, you may not of ever heard of a lot of these bands. They had their own scene in Seattle area happening that the rest of the country had no idea about. So when Cornell and the gang got signed and the music video got banned from Mtv and news of it broke etc, it started to spark more interest from bigger record companies. Gotta remember before this, a lot of these bands had signed with smaller labels like Subpop etc. These labels didnt have the resources like the bigger companies did, so eventually most of these bands left and signed with major labels. But remember that Nirvana didnt create this whole scene, yes they were popular but a lot of other bands came before them and some got big and some didnt. But without Soundgarden you may never have even heard of Nirvana, because if the bigger labels hadnt found out thru Soundgarden about the scene, we maybe talking about totally different bands and music all together. Just saying. ;-) Thanks for the video

So glad to see some more VODs! Happy for you that your Twitch career is successful but I'm not able to watch, and I enjoy the clips, but the dedicated VODs are so good! It's how I got to know you lol. Always a pleasure to follow your journey 🤘! PS I love when you bring up ink master because I got a tattoo on season 6 😂 (Postcard Challenge episode 8 for anyone wondering)
