Please bring that times back, it was the best time of my life: no corona, no smartphones.......

[@bert9662]

Damn. Time flies. I was 17 in 1996. Now I have a 18 year old daughter. Few months ago when I was listening this music back again in my car she said the music back in the nineties was so much better then now.

[@titisachi2715]

indeed..my 15yo daughter said that too

[@juniorevangelista9771]

Me 12...now a son with 12

[@josiptomic9077]

Me also was 17 that year... And my 3. y.o. daughters favorite song is Wannabe by Space girls.

[@SCARLEMSCARS]

Nobody cares you complete idiot!

[@bethanyhills837]

I was new born im now 24

[@jeffsullivan2044]

I got sober in 1996 and alot of this music really helped ( thank-you DC Talk ). And, yes, here in 2021, I still am....whew!

[@pearljam619]

I was 15 and life was so, so much better and much more simplistic. People weren’t angry and arguing over everything and anything. Was great being a teen in the 90s.

[@karenaldred3645]

Life was at a slower pace then, everything is rushed now

[@lizziebkennedy7505]

We just didn't know about it.

[@rsuriyop]

The advent of social media has a lot to do with why people these days have become so overly sensitive.

[@Nicole73672]

Agreed

[@cookdislander4372]

I was 6 dancing at the school disco 😎 🕺 👯‍♂️ 💃

[@navarapinoyownersclub5118]

If only I could turn back time. I love 90s era..no fake people, no social toxic media.

[@sitinurhacumot7100]

Me in 1996 - record some song using cassettes tapes from the radio and hope the song ends before the DJ talks

[@AndyLam528]

1996, the best year of my life! 26 years old, carefree, even enjoyed my job and nothing but good memories.

[@mariogarv]

you were lucky for sure, that year sucked ass

[@judyventura5061]

2021, the best year of my life, 25 years old, pandemic, mask, restrictions, social networks, shitty music like regaetton and current dance and listening to 80's / 90's / 2000 music on spotify and youtube because the current one I can't stand ,the same go miss the 90's even if l have never lived it 🥺

[@RobinHWebb-pd4lw]

I turned 21 in 1996. Good memories. Thanks ❤️

[@s-mart-rholly-s]

I turned 18 in 1996, and it was awesome!!

[@lee9315]

For the past year I have came to the realization that 1996 is the greatest year for music.

[@184b7]

I love that year. I remember being blown away at the music videos coming out then especially tonight tonight by smashing pumpkins

[@KrnSniper01]

This is golden, I prefer nearly all of these songs over what we typically hear on the radios these days.

[@FelixLieter]

Lauren Hill.... Nostalgia.... Oh boy do i miss the wonderful 90's... ))

[@Fourth4Element]

A great era of timeless music which far surpasses todays hits.

[@sst8746]

90's was the purest year for me. Maybe i'm happier bc when i'm going to sleep i can't see people's life except from tv, and i'm not overthinking bout unreachable happiness.. what a simpler life..

[@XYZ-io5og]

It was a strange time. I was 13 in 1996. So many good songs and such a cool lifestyle in 1996. But was to shy and introverted to enjoy this time ...

[@Fitjazpooh]

This is the year I was born! I'm making a playlist of songs from 1996, and this is so helpful. I so wish that I had been an adult in this time period. The 90's were everything. The fashion, the music, the movies... what a time to be alive. (And old enough to enjoy it lol)

[@EmesePapp4858932679432]

1996 - BSB, Prodigy, Robert Miles, Spice Girls, Celine Dion, Jamiroquai, Fugees, Alanis Morissette, Toni Braxton OWNED the year.

[@brian70Cuda]

I was 17 in 1996. Good times in the 90's. Ppl were less uptight back then as well. I'm hoping something happens to break the monotonous times we cringely embrace today.

[@sudhindrakopalle7071]

Music before 2010 will never go out of style. The best music, largely created by British artists.

[@Aztecno]

When the world was a better place to live... :') I was 14 years old and dance music was fashionable, remember?

[@Najain]

I AGREE😢

[@drawmeariver2658]

I was 17 in 96 , it was an unforgettable year to me .

[@josecontreras2997]

The best era was the 80s and 90s on this music. Today's music sucks 😔😣😭

[@shaf621]

2000's were decent as well, the 1st half of the 2010 weren't bad either. Music started turning to shit around 2016 onwards

[@mariogarv]

it started to suck from that fucking 96 anyway, just the degradation became more notorious from the 2000 onwards

[@renatamiron8095]

Today you have to turn the trash upside down to find 1 good song. And in 90 's you had to turn the gold upside down to find 1 trash song.

[@pathfinder8866]

Exactly! But some songs of 00-s were cool.

[@djaouaherchoi6290]

I was born in 1996 😁 Back then I could only cry 😭 Feel bad that I didn't enjoy the 90s

[@sergebabu5998]

LOL Bro I was born in 1998 but I really like music 90th it's better then now

[@mariogarv]

Believe me, you didn´t miss anyting great at all, 96-97-98 sucked alot, 99 was great at least

[@ryans5999]

Me too, born in 96

[@arturogonzalez6232]

I like that this channel has a lot of Eurohits. Eurohits were so underated.

[@ronaldmangasihutauruk3663]

i was 15 years old at that time. We didnt have Radio, only a white and black TV with local channel. Some of these songs I heard just from neighbours tape.

[@thanurawickramasinghe3887]

My life also just like yours . I was 13 and no electricity for my village.we listened to the radio by Battry.

Takes me back, - makes me happy i enjoyed these times.

[@jen0718]

I was in middle school and this was the beginning of how music shaped me.

[@whoknows8580]

no internet , just MTV top 20 and turn up the speaker volume everytime your favourite song playing

[@superpayaseria]

Actually yes we had internet, but literally like not 1 person used it other than once or twice for the simplest of things.

[@Alexinytown]

Crappy dial up that you couldn't use at certain hours because everyone was trying to get online.

[@Robertchu]

Interesting how even bad music from 1996 sounds better than bad music today.. Nowadays too many people use autotune (they also had ways to fix vocals back then)

[@mikaelpeltonen96]

Many people watching this know most of these songs by heart like it was yesterday even though it's been nearly a quarter of a century.

[@BigLebowski324]

And this was just one year in the 90’s folks. Damn what a decade to have been young. ❤❤❤

[@Sell-lee79]

I was 17 and in love with Donna Lewis this year! 😊🎈 ....uuhhh - and Gwen Stefani of course! 😁 ....uuhhh - and Geri Halliwell of course! 😁

Let's be real: music today is S H I T. We didn't appreciate how good it was in the 90's, we were so lucky to live that era of permanent hits!!

[@Bluestreak2020]

Let’s be real 60’s 70’s and 80’ music is forever. After that it is a blur of one or two hit wonders. Most are forgettable.

[@alluringbliss4165]

I always appreciated the music of the 80s and 90s, they helped me through a terrible childhood environment.

[@TralfazConstruction]

1996, the back-9 of my (so-called) working career. There's nothing wrong with nostalgizing an era so long as one remembers to appreciate the present day for its potential; then it sorta validates the nostalgia.

[@TheAmarok87]

I believe it was simply the best year of all human history period the end. It was the best year of my life. And I've heard others comment the same. 96' was like the peak of all humanity. Krazy krazy krazy perfect and good year just to be alive. And still feels literally like last month or something. None of it has gotten old or aged a bit. I just can't believe my perception of time was so much quicker as a kid. It's like 0 time has ever passed. I swear I'm still living like it's 1996 to this day. And love most this music to this day. I still don't like the same jams I didn't then though for the most part though. But I'm happy if the kids now days are happy too. They deserve to be.
