I remember calling in requests for this song to be played circa 1998 and the DJ asking me "how old are you!?". Don't judge me radio clown, just play the song.
It you want to destroy my sweater, woah woah woah pull this thread a l walk away. As I walk away. Watch me unravel I'll soon be naked. Lying on the floor.lying on the floor as I come undone! 😻
Did you listen to mainstream modern/alternative rock radio in 96? Song hit 29th on Billboard's Hot 100, and 8th on Billboard's Modern Rock, and was nominated for a Grammy. Give it a listen, maybe it'll ring a bell.
Growing up in NY, you had a much richer music scene and indy radio presence. Here in AK, all we got was mainstream; if we heard it, that meant everyone in the US was hearing it.
There's a lot of music out there, no one's gonna hear it all. I never listened to any pop, rap, or country growing up, so there are likely hundreds of popular songs from my youth era that I'm unfamiliar with.
Thank you for this. As an older mom of two very young ones... I can only take cocomelon so many times a day... 😮💨. Always looking for new stuff that is grotchgoblin friendly 👍
The saddest thing about my life is that I currently work in a factory. It is not downtown. There is a concerning lack of peaches. Zero cans. I was misled
From context clues, it’s either a TV thing, which I didn’t get into much, or song lyrics, which I have trouble understanding and rarely am able to eke out enough of to commit to memory.
Hey, to each their own, right? I was a rock and roll boy, combat boots and ripped flannels and all; nothing but grunge, metal, alt, and classic rock passed through my headphones. My little bro was closer to your age, and all he listened to was gansta rap.

Truth. Any mid 90s songs that you still know by heart?
imokquestionmark@reddit
Oh yea. I listen to 90s music still. But as ive gotten older a lot of 70s disco and 80s pop. Idk why nostalgia I, guess
Steavee@reddit
You’ve never heard Peaches?
Are you sure you’re not 54?
The video was on MTV a ton. Back when they did that.

Lmao 🤣 nope. Never. I mostly listened to punk, grunge and hip hop in the 90s.

The song Peaches by The Presidents of the USA, a ridiculously catchy alt rock radio hit from 95. The whole album is a jam.

In ‘95 I def would have been listening to bubblegum pop.
