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.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
