Some indie grunge bands managed to go mainstream during the 90s. The number of indie acts didn’t go down much though, especially as the 90s had room for the indie music industry to develop on its own. We can find some great examples of 90s indie music in names like Pavement, Slint, and Magnetic Fields. Country Pop
Country pop music topped the charts during the 90s, especially with artists with several crossover successes. This was the time when names like Shania Twain, Alan Jackson, and Garth Brooks came to the fore. On the other hand, this success was not well-received by those who were traditionalists when it came to country music. Indeed, the newer subgenres of traditional country music were made in order to please the masses. Pop
Typical 80s pop might have been knocked off the charts by grunge music in the early 90s, but the defeat wasn’t final. Pop music saw a major revival in the very same decade, with bands such as The Spice Girls, “NSYNC, and The Backstreet Boys soon taking charge. The Spice Girls might have been the first of their kind to hit the Billboard charts, but they then became the inspiration for several other pop acts.
