I thought the music was pretty damn spiffy in the 90's, until the dark times when Britney Spears, N Sync, and their ilk showed up. Prior to that... Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Green Day, etc., all in their prime. The alternative rock scene was rockin' like a mofo, too.
Also, kids have ALWAYS cared about sex, dude. Music and fashion trends come and go, often in cycles, but all roads lead to getting some noonie-cookie for yo' ass.

Yeah the 90's for me was the first decade I actually had to pay attention to find good music. 80's they still played great music on the radio from both the 70's and the 80's. But the 90's marked the whole birth of that really annoying Band Archeologist phenomenon where you had to hunt for good music. Especially the late 90's. They tried to make it easier by lumping it into the banner of "college radio station music" or the even worse "indy music", but depending on what station you found or who ran the local music stores, you still could have a huge issue finding stuff that was great.
The internet fucked all of that up, thank God. Now I can sample as many bands as I wish and support only those I genuinely like.
