Right around 1990, somewhere between Poison and Vanilla Ice, popular music up and broke. Just like that. The hair spray; the parachute pants; the sequined, acid-washed denim; and all the songs that turned MTV into into a 24-hour Saturday morning cartoon that would’ve shattered the most stoic of Guantanamo detainees simply proved too much. And just like that, a rumbling emerged from the left of the dial — long home to college-rock radio stations. Precisely when that rumbling grew to a full-blown quake is up for debate. Some say it was with the slashing, chugging opening chords of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” Others point to the smaller breakthroughs of Jane’s Addiction, R.E.M., the Pixies, and the Chili Peppers. Regardless, the ’90s brought with it nothing short of a full-blown musical and youth revolution. From grunge to rap-metal, from Britpop to third-wave ska, meaning had returned to music and a generation would never be the same. Welcome to sound of the Alternative Nation.
