I saw an interview with E-Type where he told a story of him having a gig at a university or something like that and it dawned upon him that not one persion in the audience were born when the songs came out and the audience knew every single word to every single song. He was just amazed.

​Reading the Twitch chat and seeing all the 90's Dance Dance Revolution fans talking about Captain Jack, 2Unlimited, and E-Rotic brings a tear to my eye and makes me feel old as hell.

Sometimes I'm surprised how much of the European dance music was played in the US.

[LadyTsunade]

4:22 Oh my goodness, the fact that younger people even know Totally Spies is crazy to me. It was such a nichely popular show when I was growing up (am 30 now), the fact that kids now even know it exists is wild.

I was born in '83 and although I've always been more of a rocker and metalhead. I can attest, these songs really did seem to draw in all of us. As far the songs listed in this video, Blue by Eiffel 65 was without a doubt the biggest one for myself and many others I grew up with.

[Klefth]

The "I'm blue, if I was green I would die" was a Scottish football thing between rival teams as well, since two major teams in Glasgow are both blue and green, the Rangers and the Celtics. The more you know. I wouldn't be too surprised if that's where the whole thing spread.

[geekofix]

I'm from Germany, born 1979, living close to the borders to Belgium and The Netherlands. This brought back so many memories. It was great to go to clubs in 3 different countries. Eurodance was huge, so was Rave, (Happy) Hardcore. I'm always astound how many artists and Eurodance projects are from Germany, Belgium and The Netherlands. They were really dominating this genre. Obviously we got great songs from other countries as well, like seen in the video. Maybe we shouldn't give a shit next year at the Eurovision Song Contest and bring back Eurodance and have the biggest dance party since the 90s.

DHT was freaking AWESOME! As a Roxette fan i was so impressed at how good turning the song into a club track was.

[lordgianni]

I'm from Europe and have been born in one of the first years that are considered to belong to Gen Z and I confirm, the songs are a trip down memory lane.
I know, you've been surprised about that and I can understand why, however I can explain at least my nostalgia with memories of travelling with my parents somewhere in the car and our radio, whether the radio stations with the "greatest hits from the 80s, 90s and today" or our car radio with my parents' music mix CDs inserted, blasting those tunes. Using the internet as of around 2009/2010, experiencing the rise of YouTube through millennial influencers, who grew up with that music, used it for memes etc., I think one can see, how Gen Z also experienced all that music and ties memories to it, even though differently than your generation did :D

[BrutusMaximusAurelius]

These are my teens, still listen to most of them this day. There’s a hardcore version of Kernkraft 400 that’s amazing too. And as a Dutchie of course proud to see so many European acts.

[michaltyha]

Hey Tank, thanks for a throwback down a memory lane. All those songs were my literal childhood. I was born in 95 and yes I am European.

[Wizard]

Born in '02. My family listened primarily to a lot of their generational music, and that's how I came across many gems like these. My grandfather actually made me discover Styx, a great band that is one of his favorites!

[RockAmRingRocker]

Be my lover, Freestyler, Move your body, Galvanize, Voyage Voyage...absolutely classics, too.
Bro, memories were hitting hard

[JasperPijfers]

as someone born in 2005, the 90s and 00s were amazing, still pretty much my favorite era of music, I <3 Eurodance

[abigailhubbard]

I'm disappointed they didn't do any The Prodigy. They need a round 2.

[MegaBigShift]

This is why I love you mate. Primarily you do rock and metal but you can get down and reminisce about 90s electronic music, I'm with you brother ❤️

[SinApex]

Sandstorm is eternal, it's a constant like. Somehow Darude created an immortal banger that will always slap to everyone who hears it. The song could be 100 years old but you could play that shit at a sporting event and everyone would lose their shit.
Rhythm of the Night is one I've always fucked with but nowadays I can't think of that song without remembering the radio caller who thought the lyrics were "Reebok o es Nike"
Every song they showed them is such an insane banger. I'll always rock out to every song here.

[julien]

90s dance and techno puts me in such a nostalgia mood. I feel i could have an out of body experience listening to that stuff😂😢❤

[bugsterrex]

Bro I was born in 2001 and literally all of this music I listen to, when I’m drawing, or gaming. I feel cultured to know all of these songs lol.
