in the 70s we had Disco

in the 80s we had Synth pop, electro break music and others

Music genres which from the mainstream point of view, lived and died in their decade

can you name any music genres from the 90s which lived and died in the 90s ?

Grunge maybe...if you even consider grunge to be a musical genre to begin with.

Swing came back and died again, though that doesn't really count.

I wish Pop had died then, but alas it live on.

Can one take out a hit on a musical genre? It would probably cost a lot

was gangsta rap around before 1990, though? I know virtually nothing about rap - so I don't know.

Also, is it dead now? I mean the rap that I hear on the radio is this crap about how much money they have and how many cars and hos and the amount of drugs they do - but I don't know if there is still rap out there that could be called gangsta or not.

I'm not sure, but I believe its pronounced "gang-sta".

What about ska? I know it's a genre that's been around for a while, but it did enjoy about two and a half hours of popularity sometime in 1996.

Heavy metal died (in America, anyhow) with the arrival of Nirvana.

yeah but it was lived and died in the nineties - i think implying that it started and stopped within the decade


though I think disco went till about 81ish and synth started around 78. and there is still metal, its just not as popular as it once was

Heavy Metal never died, just went underground. Glam metal did tho.

Yes, N.W.A. started in the 80s. First album was 1987 with their classic "Straight Outta Compton" following close in '88.

Thats true, but I dont think there was genre "gangsta rap" until Dr. Dre's The Chronic hit in..I think 1993?

I thought "died" meant in the commercial sense. There are still people listening to Barbershop Quartets, but they're well out of the commercial mainstream.

The glam metal image died..but the bands didnt. They became the alternative to the main stream...
Some of the bands still tour and do very well (Bon Jovi,Poison...)

I think the glam look has had a slight revival with the success of KISS and Marilyn Manson...but of course not like it was during the late 70s and the 80s

I always had a problem with the likes of Warrant, Poison, Winger etc etc being called "Heavy Metal". At best they were rock, not metal. "Hair Bands" was the better terminology for those guys.

I agree they arent really "metal"
Then again..what is metal really? Now a days if Sabbath were a new band they wouldnt be considered "metal" would they?
Now a days bands like Korn are considered "metal" and back in the 80s Metallica and Warrant were "metal".
I think its right to just call them Rock or Glam rock or Hair bands.
Just like grunge was rock and they were called grunge because of how they dressed.

I prefer to consider bands like Korn as "****"
