music Music since the late 90s

[Mini 451]

Music definitely has changed. Artists don't stick to one style, they're continuously evolving. Look at Radiohead, deadmau5 or Coldplay, just to name a few. All of them have had some pretty significant changes to the sound of their albums. And as the largest influencers in the music industry change, so too does the industry itself.

What in gods name are you talking about? You obviously haven't listened to much music if you don't think it has changed a lot since the 90's. It has changed so much since the 90's that I can't list everything.

Let's take Grunge for an example. Grunge was big in the 90's. Do you hear grunge a lot nowadays? Not really. 

It is noticeable in other genres as well. Rap rock was a thing in the 90s, with bands like Rage Against the Machine (with an anarchist touch), Kid Rock, and Limp Bizkit. Red Hot Chili Peppers also dabbled in it in the 90s, though it still shows in By the Way. It ended up dying along with nu metal by the turn of the 21st century. And now in recent years, trap has become more prevalent and the increased popularity of music platforms online has led to "SoundCloud rap" entering the mainstream. 

Even music today has changed quite a lot compared to music in the 2000s. Emo has faded out of popularity – My Chemical Romance has disbanded, Fall Out Boy has moved to pop-punk, and Panic! At the Disco has moved towards baroque pop. And while grunge had died in the 90s, post-grunge died in the 2000s – it had ended up over-saturating the radio stations and people didn't like it for watering down grunge too much. Notoriously bad bands like Creed and Nickelback certainly didn't help.
