another 90s alternative Valentine's Day
Posted by therealpopkiller@reddit | Xennials | View on Reddit | 17 comments
Hey everyone! As I've mentioned a few times in this sub, I host a [radio show/podcast hybrid for 90s alternative music](https://www.mixcloud.com/90sWhatever/). And every year, I do a Valentine's Day episode, for which I crowdsource the playlist by asking for love-related stories from the 90s and the songs behind them. The last couple of years, I posted in this sub asking for those stories, and the response has always been incredible. So I once again come back to the deep, deep well of our collective Xennial experiences.
So I ask - do you have a rock/alternative/indie/etc song from the 90s that is tied to a specific love story or memory? The story doesn't even have to be from the 90s, just the song associated with it.
Maybe the song that played during your first kiss with someone, or one that makes you think of an unrequited crush you had, or even a breakup song. It doesn't even have to be romantic love, any type of love is fair game. A couple years ago, someone shared a wonderful story about their mom buying them a Belly album.
Be they joyful or heartbreaking or funny or even just weird - I'd love to hear any you have and, with your permission, tell these stories and play the songs on my show (don't worry, I'll protect your identity!) Thank you so much!
