The 90s

Remember the 90s?? When all we listened to were boyband music? And then there were groups with hyperactive music and dance moves? Ah, I miss the 90s. That was our era. I can't believe I'm old enough to claim that I have an era. An era that has already passed, that the new generation did not grow up with. I am glad that rap, hip hop and club music about sex and dancing - are not what I grew up with. Instead, I grew up with mushy lovey dovey pop music. And innocent boybands whose members usually consist of a bad-boy, a babyface, a dashingly-handsome, a shy-quiet introvert and a mature. That's usually the formula of boybands in the 90s. Remember that? Ah, then there's the floppy hair or the curtain hairstyle, as some of my friends call it. Every swooping move of the curtain of hair warranted screams from fans. Ah, the innocent-ness of it all. The 90s was the era for British boybands, for sure. Usually consisting of more girls than boys. And they all dressed in clothing of the same color or style and had active aerobic-like dance moves that entertained us all!


The 90s was definitely the best era, music-wise at least! My 4-day weekend in Chicago brought about memories of the 90s, when Annie and I spent a whole day just looking up old 90s groups and singing out loud to their songs (Annie with her Viet-American accent, and me with my "excellent" singing voice), then laughing at their videos and dance moves. Then reminiscing to each other of what each song reminded us of, and why we adored certain bands.

Karaoke night for my birthday this year was all about the 90s. After this year's birthday, I seriously want to sing 90s music at the top of my lungs EVERY year for my birthday!! Seriously. It was a blast, and totally brought us down memory lane. Doesn't matter that the beer we were drinking just totally killed our voices the longer we sang. That 3 hours of singing was definitely well worth it. Our hoarse voices and lack of sleep the next morning, was still well worth it. :)

I was walking in PayLess today, grocery shopping.. accompanied by S Club 7. One day... I hope to be able to sing this song to a special someone! :) So cheeeesssyyy I love it! Enjoy!
