The year is 1993. The cold war is over. The world wide web is alive. Traditional music genres are splintering off. The West Coast’s Cypress Hill is helping lead alternative rap with a fresh Latino-American style. Method Man, Ghostface Killah and fam are forging a new East Coast street cred-driven hip hop sound. Traditional rock is giving way to alternative subgenres, with Blur unleashing their brand of indie rock into the international music scene.
The Bose x SPIN “Decades of Sound” features three iconic groups who were pivotal in shaping their genre, their message and their sound. We’re honoring their roots, exploring their journeys and celebrating their careers.
See how the power of sound kept these artists working and dreaming in those challenging early days, how it propelled them into global stardom, and how it’s kept them viable and relevant for over 30 years.
