Title of the text: Pop in 90s: Everything for everyone
Author: Eric Weisbard
Title of publication: The New York Times                                                                                        
Main idea:
The 90s deserve to go down as the decade when the music industry opened its door to all comers. Open-mindedness, rather than any single sound, was its great contribution: a lesson in diversity.

Evidences:
“That for the first time in decades no one genre dominated. Rap and rhythm- and- blues make up a quarter of the names; country an eighth; alternative rock; old- school rock and middle-of-the-road pop about one- fifth each.”

“The industry's mistake in overinflating alternative, informed by uts memories of classic rock, was to assume that any one approach to pop could still exert hegemony.”
