New for the Nineties: Any new music genres begun in the 1990s?

**I think the problem here is that it’s too soon to tell. All the popular styles of the 90’s started in the 80’s, but they weren’t really either popular or styles at the time, just isolated incidents that could be pointed back to in hindsight.

The implication is that the “new” styles of this decade will be the ones that debuted in the 90’s, in isolated small incidents. **

I agree wholeheartedly. We can look at Depeche Mode, The Cure, etc. and say that they were the beginnings of Goth, but at the time, they were just “new wave.”

It is far too early to say that there have been no new genres hatched in the '90s.

**Late 80’s. Ministry’s The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste came out in '89, and that is the closest you’ll probably get to what NIN was doing later on. **

Some classic Ministry stuff like “Everyday Is Halloween” came out in the mid-eighties along with other similar influences like Nitzer Ebb and Skinny Puppy. You can definitely see the influence on NIN’s first album which also came out it '89.

I believe their sound changed in the 90’s, but it was more of a subtle evolution.

**I find it apalling that no one has mentioned The Prodigy when discussing the birth of techno music. Please name a more influential / genre-starting album than Experience (October 20th, 1992). **

Manuel Göttsching’s E2-E4. (1984)

No, it just moved to movie soundtracks which don’t get played on classical stations because they’re too new.

Ministry went from new wave to post-disco dance music to industrial electronic and then industrial rock throughout the 80’s, and the original question was of industrial rock so I think The Mind… was probably the best answer to the question. While Nitzer Ebb and Skinny Puppy were doing industrial at the time I would take issue with putting them in the -rock category. Why? Guitars, guitars, guitars. Ministry played them, Skinny Puppy only ever sampled them (did Nitzer Ebb ever touch them?).

**My vote is for nu-metal. **

I’m also think this is the biggest new thing from the 90’s.

Also to Atmospheric Black Metal I’ll add Atmospheric Death Metal, Ex: Opeth. Is Agalloch black or death? Hmmmm…
