How do you feel about ’90s nostalgia? People tend to either be all about it or very over it. It’s a little played out if we’re being honest, but you know what never gets played out? ’90s MUSIC! When you’re out, and a ’90s throwback hits, you’re magically transported to MTV’s Beach House, and you’re dancing like you’re on TRL. It’s just science. It’s the only effective method of time travel currently accessible to everybody. So, enjoy it while you can before it gets monetized for something more than Spotify streaming.
However! We bet you that you don’t even know the words to your (allegedly) favorite ’90s songs. If you love that song so much, you should know the right words, right? Are those lyrics even real? How do you know? Are they what the singer is singing or what your friend on the school bus sang, so you just sang along and didn’t question it? Sorry to unravel your fabric of reality, but you can right yourself by acing this misheard lyrics quiz from the ’90s!
