In the 90s, rap music was poetic. It was an artist's words over the music. It was primarily supposed to showcase the artist's writing talent rather than the beat or melody. It was used to relay a message.
Teen Pop also became very popular. It was like a happy fun type of music. Combining new rhythms and melodies to form popularity.
R&B:Combined a series of smooth beats, suductive lyrics and emotion. It put you in the place of wanting to be in love, or wanting to cry. It created a relationship between listener and singer.
Historical Meaning: Music became a major outlet for people in the 90's. Whether they were rapping about poilitians, singing about problems with their girlfriends, or just trying to have fun with friends, the music of the ninties literally became the most vocal era. People no longer held back on what was true in their hearts, they instead shared them with the world.
Literal meaning: Almost all music has some kind of lyric. Lyric is a form of writing that allows people to express themselves freely. It acts as poetry over music, storytelling, and it relates with the listener. Rap music provided an outlet to publish writings publically. This made people want to write more, produce more, and let their voice be heard.
