o 91 percent of Americans watched the O.J. Simpson verdict, costing the economy $480 million. It’s the most unproductive half hour in U.S. history.
Whether you were styled the King of Grunge or succeeded in gaining the infamous “15 Minutes,” the ‘90s were a time for musical self-expression. From grunge to gangsta rap, styles morphed and merged into music that often sounded edgy and familiar.
