20 Songs That Will Get Every Gen-Z Kid On The Dance Floor

In This Article:

As a college student who goes out on the weekends, I've been exposed to many artists and music I've never heard of. When DJs play that music, it makes some people dance, but the majority just slowly sway because they don't know the song well enough to dance to it. People begin to leave the dance floor to get another drink or go to the bathroom, hoping that the next song is something they know. At this point, the DJ must notice the crowd is unamused because a throwback begins playing. Instantly, the dance floor is full of drunk, dancing Gen-Z's, and music for the rest of the night consists mostly of music from 1995 to 2010.

Whatever it may be, if you want to get a room full of Gen-Zs dancing, here are just a few hits that will undeniably make any of them get on their feet.

"Every Time We Touch" by Cascada

For some reason, Gen-Z loves throwback music, maybe because it brings us back to a simpler time, or maybe because it truly is superior to music today.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
