90s

We all love ’90s music in some way. Even if you aren’t blaring “Everlong” on your way to work, artists of the time set the foundation for most, if not all, of your favorite alternative bands.  Still, given the surge of commercially successful artists over the decade, it can be hard to keep them all […]

Heavy metal is most often viewed as a Westernized genre of music. While bands such as Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden get their fair share of credit for creating the genre, others in different parts of the world are overlooked. Latin metal in particular has a long and fruitful history that largely gets […]

Nirvana. Pearl Jam. Green Day. These are three monster bands that people often name-drop when reliving the incredible and renowned legacy of ’90s music. Even if they don’t get mentioned in a reverential manner as much as many of their counterparts, some less “cool” bands end up defining a time period (and influence future decades) […]

In real life, it is indeed true that time flies when you’re having fun. But sometimes in your head, it runs painfully slow, like medical procedures, governmental policy changes and living in a pandemic. Ever since Dallon Weekes and Ryan Seaman of I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME landed on the cover of […]

There was a time when the “supergroup” was super obvious. When the world saw legendary axman Ted Nugent making his guitar squeal with the guy from Night Ranger to his right and a guy from Styx to his left, we all knew there was something special afoot. (Classic-rock lovers will recognize this ’80s band to […]

Nostalgia is in, and the ’90s are full of music, pop culture and style choices we can’t help but revisit.

Already evolved from its origins yet not as crystalized as the 2000s wave in its sound, post-hardcore in the ’90s was a special kind of life form. These guitar intros will help you find your way into this unique decade for the genre. Check them out below. Read more: Joey Santiago still likes the idea […]

While a singer’s precious declaration mid-set of “Here’s a song off our new record” may be the bathroom battle cry for many at a concert (you remember those, don’t you?), there are plenty of music lovers who either can’t wait to hear some of the new stuff or already know it and went there specifically […]

Comparison quizzes seem to be all the rage on the internet these days, but we’ve yet to see a ’90s quiz that includes all of the four basic food groups: ska punk, nü metal, alternative rock and pop culture. And we don’t care that you’re more of a Chandler than a Phoebe.  Are you ready? […]

While most people associate Nike with basketball and hip-hop culture, they’ve taken inspiration from the extreme aesthetics of punk and metal, too. Sure, the Air Jordan 1 is the most recognizable shoe due to the mass association with rappers, but the company has been linked with metal for a long time. Look at any photo […]

The Manchester-based quartet the 1975 are one of the most eclectic pop bands in recent memory. They’ve explored thrasher punk (“People”), four-on-the-floor pop (“The Sound”), SoundCloud rap (“I Like America & America Likes Me”) and emo (“Sex”). It comes as no surprise then that their music videos reflect this hybridized approach to songwriting, as each […]

Some music fans actively prefer artists to parse out singles instead of an entire album at one sitting. Which is cool, but it can get frustrating when a band leave you hungry for more. Like in the case of Anakin, the ’90s-tinged alternative-rock outfit from San Diego. Today AltPress is premiering “Starshine,” the third installment […]

Readers beware, you’re in for a scare. Many of us grew up with R.L. Stine’s famous Goosebumps books and TV episodes. Frankly, the ’90s wouldn’t have been the same without these spooky Friday night shows that shaped us all up to have some pretty irrational fears.  For nostalgic, cheesy horror fans, good news has arrived. […]

In the wake of grunge and just before Linkin Park reanimated the next decade, these 20 bands dominated the late ’90s and made their respective marks on rock ’n’ roll from 1995-1999. With the exception of a few, most of the acts listed here still play shows today. 311 Let’s start this list with the […]

Nothing takes you back to your childhood like a bite of your favorite snack. In the ’90s and ’00s, grocery stores and gas stations everywhere had their shelves stocked with some truly iconic snacks that will hold a special place in our hearts forever.  Because we’re nostalgic and can’t help ourselves, we’ve rounded up 10 of […]

Creepy, dead, murderous and downright weird, the ’90s offered an array of toys that wouldn’t cut it in 2019. From dolls modeled after horror films, a board game that would let you connect with the spirit world and a media player that only sort of played your favorite song, ’90s toys are now collectible, and […]

Billie Eilish has made her lack of ’90s knowledge very clear during her rise to fame, now adding another classic staple to her list.
