I love Nickelback. Why wouldn't they be on here?

[@buatbluestack9714]

This is how u remind me ✌🏼💙

[@Desilu.81]

Unrelated, you guys should do a react vid to birthday songs.

[@LeesaDeAndrea]

"Somebody That I Used to Know" Rings so true. The older you get, the more people in your past that just become somebody that you used to know. It sad but it becomes so hard to maintain ties separated by distance & changing circumstances.

[@real23lions]

I think the reason millennials know more old songs is because we couldn’t choose the songs we wanted to listen so we had to listen to whatever is on. Kinda sucks at first but ultimately awesome as it expands our music knowledge. Most Gen Z would just change the song, millennials got to sit through it.

[@dutchmill233]

i agree. Millennials have this universal experience in music. We /had/ to know these songs. Gen Z are lucky they were able to curate their music so early in their life. But as a millennial, i have no regrets.

[@lukedodd2993]

What? We had music choices; channels, online, Limewire. There was a lot of choices. We didn't have to listen to "whatever was on".

[@real23lions]

[@WeezyJeffersonYo]

Weird how they don't know songs from before being born. The rest of us knew songs from decades before we were born.

[@DonovanHaumpy]

"the rest of us" boiiii 😂😂

[@GodisGreat0105]

That’s because our parents were great and played it around us 😂

Never heard of that 1999 faith hill song in my life and I’m 26

[@xaixiong3465]

Seeing Faith hill as the very first song from 2001 brought lots of memories back! You should have them react to Shania twain's songs!

[@6thwilbury2331]

Jaxon is consistently my favorite person in these videos, but I'm not sure why.

[@annebodee]

He's smart. He actually knows a wide variety of music.

[@manunarine3529]

probably because he is the only guy who is not overly extra or zesty af.

[@HonkHonkler]

Because he's honest.

[@ActuallyAlly]

we also grew up w him. he used to be on the kids react

[@jeffbrehove2614]

He's the only one that knows what's up.

[@timisme8360]

I wouldn't call this generation "sad"! It's just that tastes change, music changes. My dad thought my music taste (60s, 70s & early 80s) was trash, even tho I grew up with and LOVED his music from the 40s & 50s. My mom was classical music and I enjoy that too. Ode to Joy STILL brings tears to my eyes because it reminds me of her. She burned my Black Sabbath album tho. Lol I also enjoy some new music. Tastes change, music changes. I forget who I'm quoting but, "The only constant IS change"

[@IdentifiantE.S]

You’re 💯 right !

[@trixicenby999]

Exactly, it's not about the quality about songs that have gotten worse, it's the generations before that judge new music

[@R989D]

8:05 man my thighs/glutes will never be as strong as they were in the “Low” days. Jeez the number of times a night this song played in the clubs.

[@lateramae]

Honestly, "Bad Day" is my favorite out all the songs shown in the video because I grew up with that song and the lyrics hit hard!!!!

[@mirayoon1992]

same

[@PrisonbreakSPNheroes]

I was born in 1982 and I remember Lifehouse being one of those bands featured in episodes of Smallville. I don't remember the last time I actually listened to current pop music for a month straight. I usually listen to random songs from random decades... anything from The Beatles to Beastie Boys to Taylor Swift to Cher and Weezer.

[@tomynest470]

Same. The only recent hits I listen to are my Taylor because she slays, but everything else on the radio nowadays is garbage.

[@YaoZerZ]

I like the kid Jaxon vibe. He knows a lot of good ol songs. He did the same thing on old music. His mom raised him right

[@annebodee]

He really has more eclectic tastes than ANY of the kids on this channel. There were a couple videos with him and his mom that were hilarious.

[@brandeerodriguez8536]

The first 5 or 6 songs reminded me of watching music videos in the morning on MTV while getting ready for school

[@lyannastark628]

Really happy to see Lifehouse on this list. On of my favorite bands. Also excellent live performers.

[@krylesangerbeaver]

Jaxon laughing as soon as Nickelback started lol, he's so good

[@Mallrat31]

He is always consistently funny and he always tries. That girl beside him should LEGALLY be required to wear orange once a week.

[@Deedric_Kee]

7:46 Was straight fire! I love everyone just started partying! Jaxon singing and dancing and everyone just lit. Very good video 👍

[@BlackMandragon]

A good indicator of how much staying at home has sheltered me from music is I have literally never heard that last song before.

[@marcussmith6805]

Jaxon is a mood when it comes to the "popular" songs of the last eight or 10 years lol.

[@TheNraveles]

As a Gen z, bro come on. Literally? What? I was born 2000 and all these songs are still on my playlist 😭😭😭

Theres no way they just casually skipped 2002 to not put in Eminem

[@broadwaybound2015]

Born in the 90s but know music from the Motown era, love 70s rock, 80s pop, and love stuff from today. I just think its crazy though how they can be like this is so 2000s everything repeats and also you need to listen to some more music diversify your sound. Would love to see them react to like Fleetwood mac, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix type stuff or even earlier like the Supremes, Stevie Wonder, Shirelles.

[@1977WasPeak]

Ur delusional if you like music after 2017 (i'm 20)

[@danielvictor1941]

5:20 I loved to see how everybody instantly knew when we belong together started to play. Almost 20 years and this song still beats on the new generation. Iconic Queen.

Fun fact, Ed Sheeran sang the background vocals for Bieber's Love Yourself, so it was funny when they reacted to Ed Sheeran for the "first time" even though they had already heard him in the previous song.

You can see the MOMENT they became conscious of music, after leaving toddler level age. It's hilarious. They go from not hardly knowing anything, to remembering all the music their parents played.

[@carlosmenac]

I love the Mariah’s reaction to We Belong Together, this kids were well educated! So glad! Song of the decade for a reason!

[@venadacent7696]

Jaxon doing Yeah...be still be my beating heart 🥰🤣🥰

[@ItsBestiny]

Fun fact but Breathe and Hanging by a Moment never actually hit number one but they were the biggest songs of 2000 and 2001. They both peaked at number two. Same with Levitating. Peaked at number two but was the biggest song of 2021.

[@claudiak22]

That Boom Boom Pow was the senior prom song!

[@meghanmonroe]

"We Belong Together" might've been a turning point for Mariah's career, but let's be honest. It really just introduced the new generation to her lowest power setting possible. I feel low-key embarrassed when people play that song and act like it's a masterpiece. Tell me you've never listened to 90s/00s Mariah without saying a gd word. 😭

[@CarlosHernandez-jv6wk]

They did us dirty by not playing "Yeah!". 😭

I feel even older because I wasn't familiar with most of the other songs. Ed Sheerin-Shape of You, yeah, because it played everywhere, FOREVER and Flo Rida-Low only because of the "low low low low" hook. I know I'm older but this is one of the few times I've felt old.

I used to listen to the radio constantly during about 1.5-2hrs driving time to/from work each day, until I became permanently sick and eventually had to settle for a disabled-retirement in mid-2017. Not really knowing many of the songs here from 2018 onward, it really drives home to me just how much that daily radio exposure kept me current with newer music 😅 I pretty much know no Drake or Dua Lipa or Glass Animals, and "Blinding Lights" might be the only song by The Weeknd I'm familiar with 😶

[@sophiaerkhova]
