From Grunge to Gangsta Rap and everything in between! Post a song and let's talk about it!


Rules

  1. All aspects of the LW TOS apply.
  2. Be constructive and don't gatekeep. Music is highly subjective, and people have different tastes.
  3. If the source is YouTube, use the actual YouTube URL rather than a specific Invidious/Piped link. This prevents dead links as those go on/offline or break due to Google changes while also letting people's browser plugins, Lemmy clients, etc automatically re-write YT links to their preferred instances. Feel free to put alternate links in the post body, though.
  4. Submissions must be from the 90s (1990 - 1999) based on either recorded or release date. e.g. if it was recorded in 1999 but released in 2000, we're not going to split hairs over that; post away. Covers made in the 90s of older music is absolutely allowed and encouraged.

Posting Guidelines / Suggestions

  1. The preferred title format is Artist - Song Name [YEAR]
  2. If a song has a particular meaning or evokes a pleasant memory for you, feel free to share your story with it.

If you have other suggestions that would help grow the community and/or foster discussion, please feel free to share.

This came on as I was driving home from work Friday, in my Cadillac because I’m now 41 fucking years old.

And I still did the hands in the air dance thing.

I listened to this song so much when I was a teen with a newspaper route. I still know all the lyrics.

I only learned a few years ago that there's an uncut "Dirty" version (basically just some swearing).

It came up on shuffle a while ago. Didn't think I knew all the lyrics, but I got most of them lol.

Also, nice. The copy I have barely blips on the cursing to censor it, and I guess I just thought that's how it was supposed to be. Updated the post link with the YT link you gave since it's also better quality.

I clearly did not pay attention to MTV or VH1 at the time because I was today years old when I learned it was WhooMp and not Whoop. I am 40 by the way. Make not mistake this was on all the time in my house. Just never noticed. Well there is my learning for the day. :)
