Reply to comment by Liesthroughisteeth in TIL Creedence Clearwater Revival was only active for four years (1968-1972), with seven studio albums. They still hold the record for most singles (nine) to reach the Top 10 on Billboard's Hot 100 without ever scoring a #1. by Torley_

yooo I know exactly what you mean. my formative years were in the 90s and I hung out at roller rinks all the time. they'd play Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys and all kinds of pop but I was into metal and punk and stuff at that time so I hated it and would roll my eyes. now though? I have entire playlists of 90s pop and I'll sing along when I drive anywhere. my past self would hate me.

When I was in high school, I hated that music because it was so terrible.

Now I love it because it is SO terrible.

I have the same feeling listening to 2000s pop hits playlists. Like they're such terrible songs for the most part, but the nostalgia and the pure camp of it makes me kind of love it

My dad listened to nothing but country so that’s what I listened to. I rolled my eyes at my friends who listened to grunge and hip hop and 90s girl pop. Ten years later that’s all I would listen to.

I'm still a metal head, but there are definitely plenty of 90s pop songs I'll listen to just for the nostalgia and fun.
