Before *Grunge*.......

When was the last time a music style totally took the scene by storm, and in doing so...sounded the death knell for a prior genre?

I'm gonna start off by 86ing the Beatles.....can't use them....

Good answer...but what genre did it 86?

Rock a Billy

Actually, not all of it was 86'd. Elvis Presley and a handfull others continued to evolve, eventually into what we know as Rock n Roll.

I'm not looking for a particular answer....just finally found a topic that has never been discussed.....lol
Took me 3 years.....

Well grunge took hair bands out of the spotlight, didn't 86 it, as it has always been behind the scenes....but it definitely relegated it to the underground, and Europe....

I think Grunge put a damper on AOR / MR for a bit too.

I personally couldn't stand most of it.

Correct me if I'm wrong....

But, didn't New Wave do that for Disco....back in 79 / early 80...?
I was, like, 12.....but I remember that whole "DISCO SUCKS!!" thing at a Baseball game.

Anyone?

Bueller?

Totally.

But, the whole shift was so apparent. "My Sharona", etc....

I think New Wave and Punk killed Disco and 70s Soft Rock collectively. Mainstream Rock survived during that time period and into the 80s by actually evolving sonically (quite dramatically for a lot of groups). Yes and the Moody Blues really changed up their tone and were able to find success in both decades with two totally different sounds.

Grundge took out the LA style 'hair'/glam bands. The glam bands took out AOR/Melodic rock.

Everything was a rebellion against what was previous...until now where everything is just bleh.

Disco was done in by the AOR bands of the late 70's/early 80's.

And, new wave was never as HUGE as grundge or or any of these other genres.

[wastingbeerz]

Rap-rock/NU-Metal killed traditional metal for a while (among the general brainwashed public, but luckily those are never the fans that matter when it comes to metal!), but that was after grunge so I guess doesn't count in this thread.

I guess you could say right now shitty pop-dance music is dominating and other forms are put on the backburner. I really hope this genre isn't what shatters all the others for the next few years. I shudder when I realize we live in a world where a Lady Gaga concert sells out in 3 minutes. Doesn't anyone realize she's not original in the slightest, and that to experience pretty much the exact same music all you have to do is buy any random pop/dance compilation that came out sometime in the past 20 years. Seriously, I get that people like shite, but I don't get how an "artist" like Lady Gaga is so rabidly insanely popular. Her "music" is stale, boring, repetitive, unoriginal. There's nothing to separate her. Oh, but she wears "crazy" costumes. That's gotta be it.

[S2M]

I would contend that disco totally upended a previous genre, more so than what New Wave did to disco....

Great pick, Nora....and Congrats on your job!!

Grunge didn't take anything out of the spotlight. Hair metal fucked itself. It had become so cheap and cookie cutter that grunge wiping it out was a good thing. It made it possible for good music like the early and mid-80's to be missed. But it had to go away to be missed and grunge allowed that. Grunge did more for 80's music than anything ... because it made people appreciate and miss it.

All I remember is that it was harder than heck starting about 91-92 until the late 90s to find almost ANYTHING interesting on either radio or TV (MTV/Vh1). What a crappy period of music that was.

It's been said that the show 'Beavis And Butthead' helped accelerate the death of 80s hairbands.

Without doing a lot of research, I can tell you she has more than Journey for sure, maybe all of them. And I think none of them have actually received a grammy, albeit they have been nominated. Am I close?

the boy bands and nu-metal were the next big thing after grunge cooled down.

I never got the boy bands bullshit. Most of the bands were always boys anyway...ok, young men.

[stevew2]

I hate grunge almost as much as rap, Tall Stories might have had a chance if it wasnt for Nirvana and other depressing bullshit bands.On the other hand people bought that shit ,thats the way it goes. fuck it

I don't think boy bands play instruments and they really aren't bands, but they were boys ... I liked them!!
