Why We All Love Throwback Songs

M.C Hammer's "Can't Touch This," Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby," Shaggy's "It Wasn't Me," Blink 182's "I Miss You," and maybe even a little Britney Spears "Oops I did It Again" - all some of the many classic throwback songs that we all know and love.

Say you're one of those people (like me) that can't remember lyrics to songs to save their life, timeless songs like these are the exception, you without a doubt at least know the main chorus's of any good classic throwback.


1. Every Time The Songs Come On You Can't Help But Point To Your Friends And Belt Out The Chorus Together.


I don't know what it is about songs from the 90's that hold onto their popularity, but everyone knows them and it's almost impossible to not want to sing along to them.

2. They Bring Out Your Inner Pop Star.

It is easy to get a bit carried away when singing these iconic songs, but just keep in mind, you aren't in the music business for a reason. So just because you sound good in the shower, doesn't mean you've magically transformed into Destiny's Child or a Backstreet Boy.

3. They Make You Feel Some Type A Way.

Whether you're alone in your car, at a club, at a restaurant, or even in the bathroom - you belt out those lyrics with no shame. Embrace it.

4. Singing And Dancing To These Songs With Strangers Can Form Instant Friendships.

Your favorite song just came on at the bar and your friends are no where in sight but you see a stranger near you itching to break out the chorus of the song so you wind up singing it together. Instant bond.

5. You Most Likely Have Some Go-to Awkward Dance Moves To Go Along With The Songs.

Don't even try to pretend that you don't throw your hands up in the air and spin around every time "Don't Stop Believing" comes on, or that you don't get down low when you hear "Gettin' Jiggy Wit it."

6. You Most Likely Have An Inside Joke/Funny Memory With A Friend Over A Throwback Song.

Maybe you drunkenly sang karaoke at Applebee's one night or stood on top of the bar dancing to a song and made a fool of yourself. Your friends will constantly be reminded of all the funny times every time the songs play.

7. You And Your Friends Mistake The Club For a Stage.

Sometimes you just get so in the moment that you forget you might be in a public place and people are judging you hard. After the song is over, it's back to reality for you my friend.

8. You Think That All The People Not Singing Along To The Songs Are Boring And Weird.

They might think you and your friends are the weirdos but its actually them for being boring and for not apprectating the nostalgia of classic music. These are not the people you want to associate yourself with.

9. People Give You Strange Looks But You Don't Care And The Attention Is Oddly Satisfying.

These people are the worst. They suck the fun out of everything. They actually care what people think (lame).

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
