Is there a word to define music from the late 80's/early 90's?

Question

I'm thinking of the music from approximately 1988-1992. It was sort of a transitional period between 80's pop/R&B and 90's dance/R&B. Think Vanessa Williams, Black Box, Kylie Minogue, Technotronic, C&C Music Factory, etc. Is there a word for it?

Answer 1

I called it "bad."

Answer 2

That was when I was in college and "grunge" music was the big rage. That's what I think of when you mention that time period of music.

Answer 3

well i like the cure/depeche mode type bands and the are called indie (independent) rock, or 80s pop
