>>16583949>but it radicalized the goyim a bit too much so they switched to pop punk.And a strange kind of Bubblegum that I used to call Fisher-Price rock. lots of Xylophone-like lullaby-nursery vamps that were basically just designed to be earworms. Also lots of fucking Aggro-Soft, but the lyrics were all pretty much written by the same 6 guys, at least with the top 40 charts shit.
You did have a lot more to choose from genre-wise in "Popular Music" , but it was easy to tell what was being pushed hard because it was being overplayed so much.
Most people I knew casually didn't relegate themselves to one "kind" of music, most were pretty eclectic; But it wasn't rare to hear the same 15-20 songs being replayed over and over on any given radio station--most people were still burning CDs and even cassettes still of their own shit before Mp3 files were even that prevalent, 89-95.
Was still easy to find decent musicians who weren't on a label yet. But there were a HELL of a lot of "Tribute" bands too.
