I am part of the era of N Sync, Backstreet Boys, Dream Street, S Club 7, Hanson, and Britney Spears. I grew up listening to MmmmBop and Hit Me Baby One More Time. I danced around in my room like a crazed obssessed fan and I dreamed of meeting Britney Spears. As we speak I am listening to Tearin' Up My Heart by N Sync reliving the memories of being a little kid idolizing them.
I remember when the must-have McDonalds "toy" was a cd/dvd of N sync and on the cover was a clip from the music video Bye, Bye, Bye. Every girl HAD to have it! When I got the CD I listened to it nonstop. It only had a few songs on it, but I was in awe at how great they sang. I develeoped a crush on the main dancer and singer JC. I thought he was the cutest guy alive. One Christmas I got a N Sync play cell phone and it would talk to you in the singer's voices if you dialed the numbers. It was seriously the best gift ever by far.
Enough about the boys. Let's talk about tte girls. You have the famous Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Madonna, Hilary Duff and Destiny's Child. These girls were upbeat and girl powered. I turned the songs on a jammed to them when i was like 12. I still recall that I had a lot of posters all over my room of Hilary Duff and Britney Spears. When my neighbor and I would get together we would make routines to songs like Say My Name by Destiny's Child or Stronger by Christina Aguilera. Those were som good times we had dancing and singing our little hearts out all day.
For what it is worth I ocassionally take a walk down memory lane and search YouTube for old songs I used to listen to just to remember them so that when I am older and have children that I can say, yep, this is what I used to listen to when I was younger. I dare you to go and search YouTube for songs that were part of your childood!
Most of these songs came out when i was in middle school/start of high school and i remember the craze around them! I would listen to them but wasnt nuts about them. I think everyone takes a trip down memory lane with youtube and your favorite music. Hanson must be coming back though, I've seen alot of people chatting about them.
ReplyDeleteHmm... Not going to lie, but this isn't the typical music that I listen to. However I will admit that I do have a soft spot for the Hanson's MmmmBop.
