90s nostalgia music
March 9, 2022 3:03 AM   Subscribe

Bring Back the Time by New Kids et al., and 90s Kids by Jax are my recent jams. Are there more songs like them?

I'm looking for songs like the two above the fold that reference nostalgia, etc. for the 90s - early 2000s. I feel like now that I am middle aged (43), there is starting to be a trickle of media that is reminiscent of my teen and early adult years. I'd love to hear more music that calls back to 'my generation' (born in '78, for the record).

To be clear, I'm not looking for music from the 90s, but music about that era.

What the heck did you just make me watch?! ;)

I don't have any suggestions for you because it turns out that the time has been leaving me behind (even though I'm only a couple of years older than you) but I will be watching this thread to see what gets posted. Maybe I can be relevant again?

I can't decide if that NKOTB song is pure genius or junk. My middle aged brain can't handle it.

Weezer's single "I Need Some of That" would seem to fit the brief.

Finesse by Cardi B and Bruno Mars is actually a great New Jack Swing song

Boss Selection and Rashida Jones' "Flip and Rewind" is all about 90s nostalgia.

I don't have a suggestion I just want to say that I didn't know how badly I needed to see Rick Astley do a spectacular David Byrne, so thank you for making my whole week better.

Elemental (aka Professor Elemental) and Tom Caruana have you covered with Livin' in the 90s
