Everyone who grew-up in the 90’s perhaps witnessed the best of both worlds. Before the new millennium began and technology slowly started taking over the innocence of the simpler things of life, 90’s folks stood at the verge, grasping the best of the past and the future.
Besides all those outdoor sports for kids that seem to have been replaced by digital games and mobile applications, there was also something that shone at it’s brightest during this era, before falling into oblivion. It was the unforgettable barrier-breaking Indi-pop scene, the advent of Independent artists who were not bound by Bollywood and it’s cliche and restrictive style of music-productions.
An era when music channels like MTV, Channel V and B4U thrived the most, and gave us some major crossover pop-stars that made us hopeful for a musical revolution, that was long over due in the industry. An era in which the talent and work of singers, was not put in the ‘playback’, while models and actors lip-synced and shimmied away to their tunes. An era that promised the birth of new Indi-Pop stars.
Looking back at some of those nostalgic tunes, we have listed some of the best songs from the era, that are certain to take you on a ride back to those very streets where you heard them first.
Here are 20 major ‘nostalgia-inducing’ tunes from the 90’s and early 2000’s:
TANHA DIL
PURANI JEANS
MAINE DEKHE HAI SABHI RANG DUNIYA KE
