Music in the 90s was very diverse and outstanding. A lot of timeless songs were created and recorded by many different types of artists. The creation of new music genres did not find any limits - from Alternative via SkaPunk, Fusion to RapRock. Alternative Rock and its subgenres Grunge, a combination of guitar rock and metal, and Pop Punk peaked in popularity during the 1990s. Bands like Nirvana, especially their singer and guitarist Kurt Cobain, found success with mainstream audiences and are today still associated with this decade. Heavy metal converted into new subgenres such as rapcore. rap-, nu- and industrial metal. Even electronic music underwent a change by the split of techno and house into new styles including trance, drums and bass, trip-hop and eurodance. The appeal to a younger radio audience was achieved by pop and teen pop, with bands like Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, 98 Degrees. Hanson and The Spice Girls. In the late 1990s. female teen pop artists took the world by storm with major hits by Jennifer Lope/. Destiny’s Child, Christina Aguilera, and Britney Spears. Contemporary R&B also achieved great success on the pop charts especially for Whitney Houston. Mariah Carey, TLC, Toni Braxton. Lauryn Hill, and Boys II Men. Brit Pop as a subgenre of alternative rock, which was embodied by bands like Oasis, was also formed in this decade. The big growth in diversity and sales, the radio airplay and the overall success for artists like Eminem or Dr. Dre explains the fame of Hip-Hop in the 90s.
