90's Rock, The Most Diversified Yet

In the 1990's, glitter and glam was out and thrash just seemed old and repeatative. The world needed something new, something fresh, something diversified. And so came the Grunge Movement. Grunge is the wailing, depressing, angst-ridden sound of the 90's Seattle rock scene. The bands that are most popular from this movement are Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and probably the most well known, Nirvana. Nirvana's drummer Dave Grohl was and still is talented in the sense that he diverse in playing punk rock, classic rock, metal, and helped develop the sound of grunge. But Grohl's beats and fills are fairly standard and are considered identical to that of John Bonham or Bill Ward. Matt Cameron of Soundgarden was able to add different time signatures into the songs he played on, which means we was able to be off beat but still make it sound good with the rest of his band. 90's Rock was of course not just grunge, a new wave of bands came out that were able to take the rock and roll sound and mix it in with funk, hip-hop, and reggae. Red Hot Chili Peppers were able to add all of these genres into their rock sound, and drummer Chad Smith was able to compensate them perfectly, by playing funk and hip-hop beats and still make it sound like a rock song. Red Hot Chili Peppers continue to be influential to bands that don't want to limit themsleves to just one specific type of sound. Rap and Metal soon got to bu united as a completely different kind of genre when Rage Against The Machine hit the rock scene. Soon, every rock or metal drummer was playing hip-hop and funk beats by thrashing them out and playing them as hard and as fast as possible. 90's rock is the most unique decade of rock there is, because rock fans got a taste of different kinds of music that are out there and broke down conventional barriers between genres of music.
