Abstract or Introduction
There is much in the culture that seems mystifying especially if we look at what had happened in the sphere of popular music in the 1990s with regard to music, fashions and hairstyles. In fact, the period saw the strong and more tangible introduction of the post-modern age and thinking into popular culture, which saw mainstream and alternative music styles become somewhat joined together in the minds of many. The 1990s began an age when everyone said that everything should be accepted resulting in a pick n’ mix culture appearing, which had seemed to come out of nowhere in a sense, yet was all around us. Based on my lectures for a Media and Journalism course I held at the University of Rome, this essay attempts to identify some of the characteristics of the 1990s in popular music in relation to Anglo Saxon countries/cultures and tries to offer an explanation of why they may have appeared and existed.
