I grew up in the 90’s. I wasn’t a big fan of mainstream music. Probably because I thought I was too cool for it. I remember always wondering how a lot of bands got so much playtime on the radio. Now, looking back, I would love for the music standard to be as good as it was in the 90’s. At least most bands/artists still used instruments to make music.
I did find out later in life that it wasn’t because I was too cool. I have kids that remind me of that everyday.
