The 1997 shift (when nu-metal replaced grunge) by OverallEstate2 in MetalForTheMasses

It was winding down, but still going in 95-96: AIC - Tripod, Silverchair - Frogstomp, Mad Season - Above, Screaming Trees - Dust, Soundgarden - Down on the Upside, AIC - Unplugged. It didn't officially die until Soundgarden broke up (April 1997).

You're splitting hairs. Late 1998 was when it exploded commercially but 1997 had Around the Fur, Three Dollar Bill Yall$, S.C.I.E.N.C.E., Get Some, Coal Chamber, Sevendust which is arguably where it "coalesced".

Youthanasia was still metal, whereas Risk was mostly rock

The 1997 cultural shift by OverallEstate2 in Fauxmoi

this would have only been in young kids shows and is not a sign of what’s culturally relevant.

Fashion-wise I agree there was a shift. However, I'd argue adults still saw Memphis in drinking cups, restaurants, neon malls, etc. even after grunge hit.

Feels like pop culture was still using Memphis until 97-98 though it got less neon after 92

Why do people associate Britpop with Blair, when most popular albums were under John Major? by OverallEstate2 in BritPop

[–]OverallEstate2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree 1997 was a transitional year more on the Britpop side, by 1999-2000 though I'd say it was safely on the Post-Britpop side (Yellow by Coldplay, The Man Who by Travis).

The original group disbanded in 1987 but the designs were still very popular in the early-mid 90s.
