Music lovers are still arguing whether there is such a thing in world culture as “Russian rock”, which is so popular with us. No other country pays so much attention to this musical direction. There is no such number of fans anywhere. And in no other subculture do lyrics have such exceptional significance. Russian rock as a separate amazing cultural phenomenon became most widespread in the 90s of the previous century. After all, it was then that the groups "Nautilus Pompilius", "Aquarium", "Sounds of Mu", "Agatha Christie", "DDT", "Chizh and Co" and many others became truly legendary.

So the 90s will be remembered for a long time by musical groups that will remain forever in the memory of the youth of those years.
“The smoke of menthol cigarettes…” and “She has a granite pebble in her chest…” literally all the girls sang. The songs of the groups "Nancy" and "Ladybug" were at every disco, regardless of the age of the audience. The girls wrote many letters with declarations of love to members of male groups, such as Ivanushki International, Tender May, Na-Na, Inveterate Scammers, Hi-Fi. Memories of first love, of course, are accompanied by the memory of the groups "Demo", "Virus", "Guests from the Future", "Brilliant", "Arrows" and "Paints". The first kisses, the first dance, the first relationship - each of these periods had its own unforgettable music, which even after many years will return to the memories of those events.
It is impossible not to recall the cult group "Hands Up". Hundreds of songs about love, clips that you couldn't stop watching, and a whole youth built on the lines of songs. For more than 20 years, the team has been pleasing fans with their work. Soloist Sergei Zhukov is still the main star of the concerts of the 90s.
If the girls squealed from pop groups, then the boys preferred rock. "Cinema", "Chaif", "Time Machine", "Agatha Christie", "Sunday", "Alice" - no doubt contributed to the development of music. Viktor Tsoi remained a rock legend even after his death. Personal attitude to the changes in the country and the people around him are the main themes of his work. It was for freedom and honesty that he received recognition from millions of citizens.
Posters of the bands "Spice girls", "Nirvana", "Scorpions" were a mandatory attribute of the room, depending on the gender of the teenager. Everyone tried to imitate the movements of Michael Jackson - they were so famous. "Backstreet Boys", "Nsync", "Aqua" - began their ascent to the top of the fans' love. Mariah Carey, Britney Spears, Natalia Oreiro and Christina Aguilera have become the standard of female beauty.
Music has been given a special place in the heart of any teenager. Everyone tried to write down the words from their favorite songs in a notebook and learn them. These notebooks were kept very carefully. Boys and girls even changed them and rewrote the texts for themselves.
The disco of the 90s is certainly a popular event now. Dozens of idols gather together and delight the audience with their works. Unfortunately, some of the performers of that time are no longer alive, but it is the songs and videos that make them immortal.
