'80s for MTV style, white boy music..yes, I said it, I like it. My older cousin was into that and played it when she baby sat us. British adrogynous ish (Human League, Flock of Seagulls, etc), other ish, Take my black card if you want. Any decade with Michael Jackson has to get a shout. The hip hop was basic but good.
'90s black musick be it, rap or R&B was on hype. The '90s is when hip hop killed rock. White people NEVER talk about it but before the '90s, rock ruled. The '90s was the last of it with Nirvana, etc. but by the end of the '90s, black music doiminated the charts. And black music expanded into all kinds of directions, new jack swing, etc. Hip Hop got into all kinds of areas and styles, much more varied. The most varied decade for hip hop I think.
Sadly, I think that decade killed hip hop as well when the biggest black labels (Def Jam, Rockafella, etc) sold out to the major labels and conscious rappers stopped getting signed as well as straight out spitters, who had to find smaller, more independent labels.
