90s movies.

What about 90s TV shows?
 
90s imo are greatest decade for music and movies overall. 70s might be a little better for .music but imo 90s are considerably better for movies.

Thinking alot of that is the 90s were the last de are before the internet became all encompassing. Internet was in infancy in 90s.

This really effected music and imo is reason why music sucks today in comparrison. Pre internet music was run by the radio DJs. The DJs would play the new and different music for exposure rather than same 20 songs on repeat. After internet they had to play only the hits to compete. Thus started getting just stuck with same shit . Used to have all different t music types now there's Pop, Country, and Rap. However they mixed pop in so heavy with country n Rap you can barely even tell difference anymore there either.

Movies - 90s, 70s, 80s. All really good. Like music after about 03 movies just for moat part all became the same. There's of course good movies all eras. But in comparison to 70s thru 90s especially 90s IMO it's levels below.

Juat an opinion of a gen Xer.

Sit coms 90s by all outside. Dramas - thanks to the apps I honest think the Dramas are better in modern era many are basically movie qaulity the production is just so much better.

Well said man.
 
I will always pick Movies on these because you get access to great music too that way. A two/for.
 
The 90's is probably the best decade ever for music imo. At least when considering my favorite genres(metal, electronic, rap). It was the decade of perfecting, and of creating new awesome sub-genres. 90's movies, while good too, just doesn't hold the high esteem in my eyes compared to the music of the times.
 
Movies fairly comfortably for me. I hated grunge and most of the "rock" didn't do it for me.
 
Came in ready to vote music...saw the movie list and now I'm not sure....
 
Im more into music than movies so I picked music.
 
Music was great, but the movies were epic. Arguably the best decade in film. Only the 70s can compete.

Thing with the music was that it got darker, more bleek as opposed to most of the 80s which was a party. You could feel the tension in the tunes. Plus we lost some heavy hitters and seen the decline of others. Id actually say the first half of the 90s was amazing for music but it started falling off heavy by the tail end. The 80s was more consistent all the way through. Plus I believe we had more bonafied legends drop or release their best stuff in the 80s.
 
90s was the last great era of music and film imo so it's hard to pick. Even though I'd lose my favorite Coen bros and Lynch I'd have to pick music. Couldn't imagine not having Nirvana, 90s hip hop, Elliot Smith, Swans, Aphex Twin, mid Nick Cave. Modest Mouse etc etc etc.
