b'Writing history takes a very long time\\u2026sure, you could write down everything as it happens, but that\\u2019s really only like writing a diary\\u2026you only have a record of events\\u2014which is fine\\u2026but real history, meaningful history is something more\\u2026\\n\\nTo understand what happened in the past, more time has to go by so that we can observe the ripples events have the world\\u2026it\\u2019s only by examining those ripples that we begin to understand what\\u2019s happening in the present and what could happen in the future\\u2026\\n\\nIt\\u2019s often helpful and convenient to look at the past by decade\\u2026that\\u2019s certainly a favourite way to do things with music\\u2026in fact, that\\u2019s how we like to categorize music history\\u2026\\n\\nIf I say \\u201c50s music,\\u201d you know exactly what I mean\\u2026if we move to the music of the 1960s, same thing\\u2026the names or artists and songs leap to mind, just as they do if I said we\\u2019re going to talk about the 70s or 80s\\u2026\\n\\nBut what about the 1990s?...what comes to mind on that branch of music history?...grunge, Britpop, raves, electronica generation x, hip hop, sampling, cell phones, personal computers, the internet, MP3s, music piracy\\u2026\\n\\nThe 90s were a transformational decade, in so many ways, the end of the way music used to be and the beginning of what it would become in the next millennium\\u2026many people have come to the conclusion that the 90s were the last great decade for music\\u2026\\n\\nIs that true?...now that enough time has passed, we can now look back on the 90s to help us understand where we are today\\u2026\\n\\nAnd if we\\u2019re going to be successful at that, we\\u2019re gonna need to spread this investigation over out over a lot of shows\\u2026\\n\\nThese are the 1990s, part 1\\u2026\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
