1990

**1990 GM APVs** technically introduced at the close of the 1980s, these vehicles (Pontiac Trans sport, Chevy Lumina APV, Oldsmobile silhouette) were GM's belated answer to the Chrysler minivans. Described by some as "giant dust busters", they introduced controversial styling that apparently gave them appeal to star trek fans (who saw a resemblance between the enterprise shuttlecraft and these vehicles. The design lasted until 1996.   **35th edition Mustang** Select models of the 99' Ford Mustang had the 35th edition package. The 35th editions had a circle around the emblem on the side of the car. It is a rare car because it takes a part off of every Mustang ever made.    **98 Pontiac Firebird** This car has to be one of the best Pontiac designs in the '90's. It holds on to the memory of the muscle car era with a '90's touch. A sporty exterior, a bass blasting' stereo, and great gas mileage; what more could you expect from a 1997 design?? A memorable icon in the fading days of the pony car...    **Dodge Viper** Introduced in 1992, this roadster with an 8.0-liter V-10 gave Chrysler Corporation a major sports car to compete with the Corvette. It even had its own television series. **Hyundai Tiburon** The car that pretty much put Hyundai back on the map in the U.S. (since before hand they had always been associated with the cheap Excel, the "Yugo for the early 90s"). Introduced in 1997, the name means "Shark" (so named for the sleek look and the fact that it was largely tested in Tiburon, Cali), Hyundai used a play on the boat scenes from the movie "Jaws" to advertise its release to the general public. Interesting note: the suspension was designed by Porsche. My wife owned one of the first ones to hit the market and let me tell you, this car kicked serious butt.

The musical era of the 1990s was filled with a variety of pop, rap, and alternative music artist. The early years of the 1990s began with a surge in popularity for music genres like techno and hip-hop. Some techno groups were Technotronic, who sang “Pump Up the Jam”, and C+C Music Factory, who sang, “Gonna Make Me Sweat." Some hip hop artists were MC Hammer, Tone Loc, and Vanilla Ice.

In the late 1992 to early 1993 a new style of rock was making an impact. Bands like Pearl Jam and Soundgarden offered youngsters a new type of rock with catchy lyrics. The songs also seemed to send a message about the status quo of society and helplessness that was felt among teens and early adults in that era. Nirvana’s song “Smells like Teen Spirit” marked the beginning of the grudge and alternative rock phase that remained through the mid 1990’s.

By the late 1995’s many people were getting tired of the hopelessness that the grudge and alternative bands. As a result of this, there was a new movement of “happy rock” that was a direct contrast the grudge alternative. Bands like Hootie and the Blowfish, Sister Hazel, and The Bodeans had upbeat melodies and positive lyrics that many people were ready for after the years of negativity. They created songs that dealt with love and relationships. “All for You” by Sister Hazel was a popular song about the things a person does in a relationships while “Let her Cry” by Hootie and the Blowfish dealt with a tearful breakup that hurt both people.

The “happy rock” years in the mid 90’s helped to pave the way for the “bubblegum pop”. Artist like Christina Aguilera and Brittany Spears dominated the mainstream pop music scene well into the late 90s and beyond. In the later years boy bands became popular such as The Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees, and N’Sync.

Music in the 1990s went through series of changes. It was nearly a full circle of styles and tastes that resulted in recreating the mainstream sound that is strongly reminiscent of popular music in the 1980s.
