Re: "nexus" at the time this felt like the greatest time for music ever
Date: 2006-10-05 01:55 pm (UTC)as matt says below 00-02 was more obviously a nexus but it all stemmed from stuff happening 98-00. 98-02 was very much my second formative period, amazing pop appearing on all fronts: missy, kelis, timbaland, neptunes, britney, xtina, lauryn, aaliyah were all AMAZING 98-00.
