Title: 90s pop
Post by: Ħ on August 01, 2011, 02:42:48 AM
So I have to admit that as a kid I was into Britney Spears and N' Sync and BB and stuff.  I recently had a nostalgia trip and....some of the songs really aren't that bad.  I mean, Bye Bye Bye, Tearing Up My Heart, and Larger Than Life are really not terrible songs.  I was actually kind of enjoying myself - okay, I was enjoying myself.  So is anyone else a fan?  Come on now, don't be shy.

I'll admit I think BB and NSync's music still holds up. I still find myself listening to I Want It That Way every now and again

Those songs remind me of simpler times, so good to pull out every now and then.  Although, probably not N*Sync, I always hated them.

Erotica
Bedtime Stories
Ray Of Light

Ray of Light is a great pop/techno-influenced tune.  Frozen, from the same album, is also great; a very cool mellow tune.  I am not wild about a lot of Madonna's post-80s stuff, but those two songs are great.

A lot of the 90s music I regularly listen to could more or less be considered pop, since it was all fairly popular back in the day. It's not really pop in the sense that Backstreet Boys and the Spice Girls are pop, though.

Yea, that's why i made two lists up there. the "pop" music and the literally popular music. sometimes the term "pop" doesn't mean anything. hell anything can be popular if you know enough people that like it.

Wasn't that released in the 00's?  Some of it is awesome though, agree.

Why would you do that when the OP has already made it clear what he means by "90's pop"?  Jus' sayin.

Nothing wrong with 90s pop, it's all good times.

Although the best BB song occurred in the 2000s (I think), Incomplete.
