Music of the 90's

#1 Postby Guest » Tue Dec 02, 2003 1:02 pm

I'm giving a presentation in class tomorrow night on music of the 1990's. I'm supposed to dress the part. Any suggestions??? I can't seem to figure out what "look" embodies the 90's music trend. Thanks guys!

In the 90's, IMO, a lot of the "alternative" sounding music slid higher up the charts and into the mainstream than it did in the 80's. Pop and hip-hop are still there, but the other stuff has blended in with it. Boy bands and bubble-gum Debbie Gibson-type stuff seem to be virtually gone. There seems to be a lot more anger in today's music.

Maybe if you dressed up in a style like Avril Levigne or Alannis Morrisette?

Maybe the best way to summarize it was that there was no specific "look"; rather, it was more just dress down and style down and be yourself. I don't mean necessarily as "grunge" look as Nirvana, but t-shirts, jeans, and any length hair was prevalant.

Look of the 90's was a pair of blue jeans with holes in the seat, white T-shirt, black boots and a black beret hat.

Yeah, the 90's are a lot harder to pin a fashion on than say the 80's, when they had a lot of fads!! But like everyone else, the grunge is the only one that sticks out, unless you wanna go Spice Girls and wear a tiny dress with sneakers that are big enough to fit Ronald McDonald!!!

Pearl Jam look in the early 90's and KORN the gothic look in the late 90's.

I was going to say go with grunge too - flannel shirts. Jeans. Messy hair, think Kurt Cobain. He used to rinse his hair with coolaid! Now that would make a statement Jen!

Purple hair with pink highlights, LOTS of black mascara/blue shadow, black nail polish, leather and chrome everywhere, and a plenitude of body piercings will do just fine. :roll:

And don't forget the Doc Marten's boots!
