If you grew up during this time and are looking to relive the songs from your middle school or high school dances-like, the music was good, even if those dances were generally embarrassing experiences-I've got all the memorable bops right here. It was an era that truly birthed many of the musical greats. The '90s also gave us the genesis of countless icons that we now know and love so well, from Beyoncé and Britney Spears to Mariah Carey and Sade.

And whether you're in the mood for a sexy song, workout-friendly bop, or even the perfect tune to cry to (we've allll been there), you can bet the '90s had it all. It was an era that gave us banger after banger, from R&B and rock to hip-hop and freestyle. But arguably, the best part of the decade was the killer mixtapes that put your Walkman to serious work. Butterfly clips, CapriSun pouches, and trips to Blockbuster-just another day in the life during the '90s.
