New music was what I primarily listened to back then...as a matter of fact, beginning in that year, I got into the new music (mostly pop and Top 40). Of course, I was 14 at the time, and kids in their teens are usually abreast of the "current" music acts...which in the mid-1990s included groups like All-4-One, Collective Soul, Weezer, and Ace of Base.
