I am approaching 40 soon enough, and actually I am doing great. Today I have more money that I could meaningfully spend. I have changed my diet, reduced sugar dramatically,which had very good effects. I survived a car accident as a kid, so the Grim Reaper had already an attempt. One thing that...

quite funny - the most horrible 90s hype for me always was RnB (missy elliot etc) - propaganda music for hyper-materialism/capitalism. The soundtrack to "celebrity culture" + "VIP Lounges"

hmmm. I just remembered the UK of late 1990s gave the world the Spice Girls. All of a sudden, that period INDEED looks grim

OK, this time it's some genre - if it's a distinct genre at all - I know almost nothing about - "Lo-Fi". People likethe Palace Brothers/Will Oldham. Nerd-ish people recording folk-rock songs in their bedrooms/toilets (well, it got a wikipedia-entry so I guess it's a genre after all). The only...

I think this was their biggest hit.

Also intros to tv sports programmes, tv ads in general

...on the other hand, international football is so deeply corrupt one shouldn't support it - from an ethical point of view.

There was stuff in the charts (and is possibly on youtube) not even I am willing to post.

hmmm I think the mid 90s Britpop (Oasis, Blur) was way more bearable than the mid2000 stuff like Kaiser Chiefs or Arctic Monkeys. Those were really dreadful. But I am digressing again

Those Dutch peeps were a hitmachine in the early 1990s

Chart hit in Germany in '93

Wasn't big beat also featured a lot on sony playstation one games? A lot might be exaggerating, but I seem to remember some fuss about the "Wipeout2097" soundtrack

Eurodance actually coming from New York City

The template of Eurodance was without a doubt Snap's "The Power". BPM range 120-130. Female singer - catchy melody - or sampled, an additional rapper - usually a G.I. stationed in Germany - possibly added for the "street cred facor"

Bomb the Bass' Beat Dis was proto big beat as well

More proto Eurodance - from 1984

Big Beat got popular in 96/97. Rave was already dead a long time before that, killed by a grotesque over commercialisation. Why not blame the energy drink vendors for a change?

I am digressing, but Doc Scott '97 was awesome. The Shadow Boxing remix was such a relentlessly great techstepper:

quite joyful :)

It's more recapitulating the hypes in my 90s music mags I am currently rereading - possibly a lot overlapping, though
