I think you nail the 90s. The worst thing about the various musical movements in that decade is that they were so contrived and artificial. The 80s, especially the early part of the decade, was so organic and chaotic, it was wonderful.
Grunge was so annoying, but rap/hip hop is nauseating.
I don't know. We were there for the first mainstream rap...The Sugar Hill Gang's "Rappers Delight". Oh, how things have changed since then, huh?
