About 90s & 2000s Music

If the 80s belonged to MTV, the 90s and 2000s belonged to the cultural battle for the Top 40 — and every kid with an allowance and a CVS gift card was a participant. We had the boy band wars (Backstreet Boys vs. NSYNC), the divas era (Whitney, Mariah, Celine, then Beyoncé and Christina and Britney), the Lilith Fair singer-songwriter wave, the rise of teen pop-punk (Avril Lavigne, Blink-182, Sum 41, New Found Glory), the hip-hop crossover into pure pop dominance (50 Cent, Eminem, Outkast, Jay-Z, Kanye), and the auto-tune-and-club-bangers era that closed out the decade.

Underneath all of it: TRL on MTV, Z100 on the radio, Napster and then Limewire and then iTunes, and the slow death of the CD. This category covers all of it.
