After spending this past weekend at my boyfriend's formal in the Poconos, I have discovered one thing that seems consistent across every wedding, frat party, sweet 16, and other events that may involve drinking, white people, and a DJ. We always get extremely excited over the same songs, no matter how overplayed they may be. I am not saying this list is specific to white people, it is just most consistent across most of my observations. We can all attest to requesting or loudly shouting the words to at least one of these songs, if not many of them. To all future DJs and white people, this one's for you. Check out the complete Spotify playlist at the end!
