Reel Big Fish and No Doubt f***ING BLOW.
90s Pop-punk and 90s Ska-punk KILLED mainstream rock music.
Made it the lamest genre for the next generations.
Glossy and vacuous ultra-pop/boyband/k-pop made exclusively for 12 year old girls filled the top 40 gap.
With braindead males glomming onto Soundcloud rap and trap.
Popular music is a dead artform and it all goes back to the popularity of 90s pop-punk/ska-punk which led to nu-metal/buttrock which led to emo which led to cringe hipster folk/"indie pop".
The 90s alt-rock and 90s indie rock scene was being to flourish before f***ing Green Day/Offspring/Reel Big Fish/No Doubt/Smash Mouth/Blink 182/Sum 41/Avril Lavinge KILLED it.
Hmmm, no, sorry, you don't know what you're talking about. For one thing, emo comes from before the 90s, as did plenty of "indie pop" groups. For another thing, grunge could be said to be much more to "blame" for the rise of nu-metal and buttrock, in fact you could even say it fertilised the soil for the rise of 90s pop-punk and 3rd-wave ska - their jolliness in contrast to the misery of NIN, Nirvana, Alice In Chains could maybe be compared to the rise of cheery synthpop groups as a reaction to the apathy of the punk scene a generation earlier. Without those grunge bands, we wouldn't have had post-grunge dross like Nickelback, Staind, Creed etc. But then, would that have happened the same way had Kurt Cobain not been a fan of "indie pop" groups like the Vaselines, Teenage Fanclub, heck surely even the Velvet Underground alone spawned a shedload of "hipster folk" "indie pop" Juno soundtrack bands?
You just sound like an out-of-touch fuddy-duddy moaning about the kids these days. If you can't listen to grunge, grindcore, gabber, grime, girl groups, K-pop or whatever, and appreciate them on their own merits and the function they perform, rather than whether or not it's "good" based on what you think is "good", then you're not
really that into music. Simple tip, those bands and music styles existing doesn't take anything away from the kinds you DO like, but I recommend that you improve your life by looking for what's good about the things you don't understand instead of crying about it! It's all a big musical tapestry
