For Example, here is how the 90's kicked off. (Off-Topic)

Two songs that, to me, are epitomes of the 80's genera of music, but were released in the 90's.

That's really interesting - because for me, those are epitomes of 90s music. :)

Rarely do we mean "music created in the 1980's" when we say "80's music".

Heh... disagree. (I know I said I understood what Dr. B said... but understanding and agreeing are different. For me, music has always been rooted in chronological time; when I hear a song, one of the first pieces of information that comes to mind is "where I was when I first heard this" - and that is almost ALWAYS linked to a specific place/time. It's a skill (? maybe trait?) that has faded as I've gotten older, mostly because my memory is not as sharp as it used to be... but it's still mostly true.

1990/1991 is VERY different in my head from 1989, because my life in those times was so radically different. (I lived in Guatemala in 1989, and subsisted on eggs and beans. I lived in Portland in 1990, and subsisted on amazing food. And running water. And electricity all the time.)
