The new retro gang
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2013Growing up as a child of the 90s was awesome, as many of you can relate. The 90s generation believed we had the best toys, television shows and of course the best decade of music. It appeared to us that our music would always be cool. Growing up in the first five years of the early thousands, I know I kept up with the popular music. Then it happened. The one thing I always promised myself never would. I fell out of touch with popular music. Suddenly, what was playing on Much Music was no longer appealing to me. I kept asking myself, where has all the good music gone?
I had come to the acceptance that television is changing all the time, and everything quickly becomes retro. But the top 40 music of the 90s?!?! No that could never happen. All of this was simply a stage of denial. While scanning the net I noticed CTV announced that Boyz II Men, 98 Degrees, and New Kids on the Block are doing a tour. Yes, you read that correctly. We now have our old school heart throbs touring around in massive clumps to bring back preteen and teen flash backs to females who are now in their 20s. 90s kids have become retro and we have become our parents.
Scarey thought to think we have become our parents. Seeing the majority of us have fought of that notion since we hit the hormone raging, angry stages of adolescence. But let’s take a step back and look at this. Every generation has that one decade, which they reminisce upon and truly believe that was the best decade ever in existence. The rest that are passing by are just filler. The music of that time was the best and nothing else can compare to it. Well 90s kids, we are falling into that zone, and if you don’t believe me. Just check out young Selena Gomez covering Britney Spear’s Baby Hit Me One More Time. It has happened, we are now the new retro gang!
So let’s us all walk down memory lane and jam to a little Prozzak! Stay cool 90s gang!
