Just about everybody loves a good song.

For us millennials, music is woven into pretty much everything we do. I for one am seldom not listening to something, even if it’s purpose is just to act as background noise to keep my mind on track while I focus on other tasks.

While music of all types are amazing in their own regards, our favorite music is probably also pretty relatable to our current lives. However, while music is important to me today, it also had a major relevance in my childhood.

This is a photo of my sister and I from my past birthday. We watched a lot of TV together when we were younger. Both of our parents work full-time jobs with lengthy commutes, so Rheanna and I would pick up the remote every day after school and tune in to either Nickelodeon or Disney Channel.

Anyone who grew up in the Disney/Nickelodeon television era of "Hannah Montana," "Victorious," "iCarly," "Shake It Up," "Good Luck Charlie," "Big Time Rush," "Wizards of Waverly Place," "Suite Life," "Zoey 101," "Drake & Josh," and the tail-end of "That’s So Raven" knows what I’m talking about when I say that these shows produced some infectious BOPS.

I’m not discrediting kids’ shows that came before this particular era because they’re great too; it’s just that the shows I listed literally seemed to be playing on a repetitive, never-ending cycle (at least that's what my parents told me after they had to endure watching the "iGo to Japan" episode of "iCarly" for the tenth time in one week.) These songs became staples in my life from the ages of about 8 to 13.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, then sit tight because I’m going to attempt to enlighten you and take those who do know what I’m talking about on a little nostalgic journey.

Here are the five major points of musical greatness that came out of my childhood's era of Disney Channel and Nickelodeon:

1. Theme songs

If you couldn’t recognize which show you were about to invest the next 30 minutes of your life into watching within the first 10 seconds of the theme song, then you probably weren’t as invested in the show as most. (Bonus points awarded if you could also guess the specific season of the show from the opening graphics, too.)

2. Songs performed during episodes/crossover episodes

This was a lot more common in shows that had a music base in the plot. "Victorious" and "Hannah Montana" both incorporated their music into episode plots on many occasions, sometimes even revolving the episode around a final cumulative song. My sister and I were always intrigued when a new song was introduced. Of course, nothing could top an iconic musically-based crossover episode either.

The "Shake It Up" cast/crew also deserves a shoutout for choreographing and executing some really impressive numbers at times. Like I said earlier, my sister really enjoys dancing, so these dances were always played on repeat every time she managed to get a hold of the sole family laptop to YouTube the steps.

3. Songs about breakups/love/boys/etc.

Pre-teen me had never experienced a breakup. I’d never had a girlfriend. I’d never had a boyfriend. I’m pretty sure the only person I had ever even kissed was my mom on the cheek at night once in awhile. Nevertheless, you would think I had had my tween heart devastated on more than one occasion by the way I was re-enacting these songs around the house. Looking back and listening to these songs now, after I actually have experienced bad breakups, I realize that these songs are actually still so relevant. Many of them often reiterate my best friend’s favorite catchphrase, “LET. THAT. MAN. GO.”

4. Meaningful messages in songs

More common in "Hannah Montana" than in any other show I’ve observed, these songs can actually be very deep and meaningful. Imagine the difficulty of trying to come up with a catchy, realistic way to teach kids important lessons, and perhaps even help them cope. Despite the obstacles, these kids' shows always seemed to manage to make me stop, think, and appreciate what I had.

5. Today’s megastars stemming from the Nickelodeon and Disney empires

Where would current music be today without the help of Nickelodeon and Disney Channel casting directors to scout out the next big thing? So many celebrities got their ‘big breaks’ on these hit childhood shows, as well as other Nickelodeon/Disney projects. What started out as a role in a simple show became what is now millions of social media followers, fan bases, world tours, interviews, awards, concerts, powerful impact, and wealth for these stars. Check out these photos of the biggest singers/socialites to emerge from this era of Nickelodeon and Disney Channel.

Ariana Grande

Selena Gomez

Demi Lovato

(But seriously, when is it my turn for THIS level of glow-up to happen?)

Miley Cyrus

Zendaya

(OKAY... WOAH)

The Jonas Brothers

All in all, don't be a hater and stop discrediting music from these shows as having little to no value. The next time you're in an argument with someone, simply stop, breathe, jam out to "Nobody's Perfect" a few times, say, "Thank you Nickelodeon and Disney!" and appreciate the simpler times of life.
