The 1990s were a decade of many diverse scenes in music, however they are perhaps best known for teen pop, Eurodance and electronic dance music, and for being the decade that hip hop and alternative rock became mainstream.
This decade saw the continuation of teen pop of the 1980s and the emergence of grunge music and alternative rock in pop culture replacing glam metal and the continuation of hip hop. It also featured the rise of contemporary country music music as a major genre, which started in the 1980s.
Grunge music, and the culture marketed around it, born out of the Pacific Northwest American states of Washington and Oregon, becomes a fad in 1991 with the success of Nirvana and similar groups following. The style would come to be strongly associated with the 1990s by the 2000s.
In the UK the uniquely British alternative rock Britpop genre emerged as part of the more general Cool Britannia culture. The Britrock band Oasis was formed in 1991. Female icons of Cool Britannia, the "Spice Girls", manage to do what the britpop boys couldn't manage and break America, taking the world by storm and becoming the most commercially successful British Group since The Beatles. Their impact brings about a widespread invasion of teen pop acts around the world such as Britney Spears, 'N Sync, Backstreet Boys and Hanson who come to prominence into the new millennium.
