However, economic problems dogged Bush, and with the entry of H. Ross Perot into the campaign for the 1992 presidential election, Bush found himself losing a three-way race between himself, independent candidate Perot, and Democratic nominee Bill Clinton.
Clinton entered office as one of the youngest presidents in U.S. history and the first of the Baby Boom generation to reach the White House. Promising to focus on and resolve ...

| | | | | Present: Encyclopedia II - History of the United States 1988-present - The George W. Bush administration Though his election had been the focus of intense controversy which led eventually to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Bush v. Gore where the court ruled 5-4 in the former's favor, George W. Bush was sworn in as President on January 20, 2001. The first eight months of his term in office were relatively uneventful; however, it had become clear by that time that the economic boom of the 1990s was at an end. The year 2001 was plagued by a nine-month recession, witnessing the end of the boom psychology and performance, with output increasin ...

| | | | | Present: Encyclopedia II - Music history of the United States 1980s to the present - 1980s The American music industry of the very early 1980s was in a state of flux, which Reebee Garofolo claims reflects the state of American society, in turmoil with the election of Ronald Reagan (p. 353). Disco, the most popular style of the late 1970s, was dead, and the once vibrant field of punk rock was fractured, producing offshoots like New Wave music. The term New Wave was used very loosely, describing a vast range of styles from the arty punk of Elvis Costello to the Talking Heads and the New Romantics; this vagueness temporarily t ...

| | | | | Present: Encyclopedia II - Music history of the United States 1980s to the present - 1990s The result of hair metal's decline was the grunge explosion in the early 1990s. By 1992 (1992 in music), hair metal bands were massively unpopular as grunge groups like Nirvana (Nevermind), Pearl Jam (Ten) and Alice in Chains (Dirt) dominated the charts. Their success lasted only a few years, however, as bands found it difficult to maintain their "alternative" sound after going mainstream.
In addition, former N.W.A. member Dr. Dre (The Chronic) brought gangsta rap to pop audiences. By the mid-90s, alternati ...

| | | | | Present: Encyclopedia II - Music of the United Kingdom 1990s-present - House and raves In the early 90s, many raves continued in spite of illegality, while legal dance gatherings were also occurring, and dance music saw more exposure at rock festivals in Glastonbury and Reading. The tension caused by the police and increasingly hardcore music caused many fans to return to the clubs, where rave music had given way to progressive house, a return to the original sounds of house music. Other clubs emerged to play the ever-splintering genres associated with the house and rave scene, including hardcore techno, downtempo and trance. ...

| | | | | Present: Encyclopedia II - Music of the United Kingdom 1990s-present - Madchester shoegazing and the Britpop boom Early in the 1990s, shoegazing was the most popular genre of British alternative rock. Innovated by My Bloody Valentine, shoegazing spawned a legion of devoted fans that injected much energy, and attention from major labels, into the scene. My Bloody Valentine's 1991 Loveless is still typically considered the pinnacle of shoegazing. That same year, Primal Scream released Screamadelica, combining rock inspired by the Rolling Stones with dance and house production techniques. Screamadelica was both a critical and commercia ...
