The most 90's song of all time?

Nineties music began and ended for me with gangsta rap and hip-hop.

NWA, Bodycount, Tupac Shakur. None of whose songs are safe for linking, but Straight outta Compton needs to be looked out for.

I'm gonna link to one anyway:

Uh, basically anything by The Goo Goo Dolls?

Just a dad into tropes. Not the father of tropes.

If this doesn't scream 90's, what will?

As someone who actually lived through that decade...For me, bands like KMFDM, Queensryche, Concrete Blonde and Nine Inch Nails make me think 90s. But that's just because such was what I was listening to at the time. Also, dance-pop was huge.

Believe it or not grunge was already dying by the time I became a teenager (I entered high school in 1994). I remember more people bitching about it than loving it...and I'm from the place where it all got started. *

Hanson's "MMM Bop" is mine, mostly because I distinctly remember when that song came out and exploded.

If I had to get a representative song of the attitude of the nineties, Eminem's "My Name Is" really covers how much the 90s sucked. -is one of those people- EDIT: I should probably clarify - I think the song is brilliant, but really captures the zeitgeist in terms of the reality going on below the surface of the reemerging consumer/Clueless culture overtaking the grunge, do-it-yourself attitudes of the early nineties.

Did I overlook something, or has this really not been mentioned yet?

Mache dich, mein Herze, rein...

Is it wrong that for the longest time I thought that was an '80s song?

Oddly enough, you wanna know what two songs I heard on the radio the most during the '90s? The Fugees' version of "Killing Me Softly" (okay, fine) and Donna Summer's "On the Radio" (wait, what?). The radio station my family listened to when I was growing up tended to pretty much take all the major pop hits of the '70s, '80s, and (then) current era and just play them all at random.

You're kind of sort of almost right in that it Sampled Up an eighties song. When "U Can't Touch This" was at it's most popular, this one station I listened to at the time started playing "Super Freak" too (despite otherwise being dedicated to current hits). As a result I used to think Rick James borrowed from MC Hammer instead of the other way around.

I never realized just how much of "Tubthumping" is the chorus repeated over and over until I decided to sing it for karaoke once.

Here's one that can trump all y'all. Tell me, is there anything more '90s than AIDS?

It doesn't mention AIDS explicitly in the lyrics, but the implication is obvious.

Bonus points for it actually mentioning the '90s in the title and refrain.

I think "Fly" by Sugar Ray might be the most 90's song ever. Or "Get What You Give" by New Radicals. Maybe it's just me, but when I hear either of those songs I just get into the most 90's vibe ever.

My PM box is always open to anyone who wants to talk/vent.

I dunno, those songs don't really give me a very '90s vibe, but maybe I'm just biased because I love them so much.

It's a 1999 song, so it barely qualifies, but it SCREAMS '90s to me.

Afghan Whigs' music has stood the test of time, but they did do a couple of videos which were INCREDIBLY 90s. All creepy churches, weird makeup and stuffed animals as far as the eye can see.

Here we go.

x6 somehow made me think of this one - the non-bowdlerised version featured the line "this AIDS thing isn't working".

This song is recent, but it references the '90s. Including name-dropping a few '90s bands. She even says "S-Club's in the house tonight."

Oh God, I actually remember those three or so weeks where everyone cared about them. And now I have their theme song stuck in my head. Grrrreat.
