Livre d'Or

Huh, I was somewhat younger but I don't remember rock being that taboo in '89? It had associations, but that was the year Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure came out. Then again, I imagine there were other factors that led to cis girls being nudged away from it more at the time that aren't anywhere near as present now. Nobody was worried you might actually end up in bed with Jason a few years later.

I'm trying to remember when rap first crossed my radar too, which is a tricky one: there was some stuff played on children's TV, but unsurprisingly not NWA! The oft-manufactured pop-rap wave really started the next year though. Think I caught a little bit of acid house, but mostly in the way you dimly remember until you actually get a chance to go back and learn.
