The 1990s were full of many different types of music styles inspired by unique events. There was an introduction of Grunge (see our list of post-grunge songs), Ska, and an insurgence of techno/dance music to fill dance floors. The 1990s ended with the fear of Y2K and the crash of computers. Many who thought computers would not recognize the new century. Nothing became of it but it did generate a great financial income for many. Without the 1990s though, we would not be writing this song list. Enjoy our list of the top 1990s love songs!
The Nineteen Nineties were the dawn of the Internet. Plus, Apple introduced the iMac.
