Fucked-up decade....

Not really, that's a common pattern to every decade, the market gets saturated with one thing, and needs something else, so it goes back and forth. The most interesting thing about the 90's was when hip-hop overtook country as the most bought genre in the states, which is the first time a predominantly 'black' (or non-white) genre gained dominance over the market. This is in terms of the American record industry, obviously.
