Are there any other definitive Big 4’s in music?
It’s in the cultural fabric that there’s a definitive Big 4 of British Invasion, Thrash Metal, and Grunge. Are there any more genres that have a definitive Big 4 that’s widely accepted? Any you think come close?
Some could be ephemeral, for example as an older millennial I remember there was a media hyped Big 4 of garage rock revival (the “the bands”) with The Strokes, The White Stripes, The Hives, and The Vines. That one fell to the way-side over time and doubt many people not there in the moment remember that hype.
