Yes. Ditto to every single one. Every middle school dance had Ace of Base. Every.Single. One.

In that being, so did "Enter Sandman"

Kiss from a Rose was so Batman Forever.

No to kiss from a rose. That song is famous for being everyone’s boomer mom‘s favorite song. If you ever saw the Amy Schumer show life and Beth, they played it at her mom‘s funeral. And it was hilarious because I’m like oh that’s my mom‘s favorite song too lol.

Metallica deserves a shot because of their videos. I think everyone remembers the videos to enter sandman and nothing else matters.

And for that matter Aerosmith’s Alicia Silverstone video trilogy deserves a shout out. It doesn’t get much more Gen X than that.

Wait, Allison Reynolds the loner girl was rich? It's been a while since I've seen the movie, was her family's wealth ever mentioned? She's dropped off at school in a new Cadillac Seville, a ritzy car in the early 80s.

Waiting Room, Fugazi

Buffalo Stance, Neneh Cherry

There She Goes, La’s

Wrong thread. Take your high school baggage elsewhere.

I said Holiday. That was the first Madonna song I ever heard (I was in high school) and I was completely transported.

Yup me too.

I remember after hearing that song, being surprised when I found out that Madonna was White.

Seems so crazy now!!

I'm the PP and was going to say exactly the same thing except I was sure someone would call me a "RACIST!!" I also thought she was black!

I was friends with Salt n Pepa and Kid n Play (both named Chris) We were so young (16) and worked together. We were always singing and dancing. I still have Play’s song that he wrote for me on a note paper.

⬇️This is us! We were a diverse crew white, black, Spanish, mostly young, and mixed race. So funny, pretty, handsome.

AI left me me though lol: Chris (Kid) from Kid 'n Play was friends with Salt-N-Pepa before they became famous, as they all worked together at a Sears call center in New York. Kid considered Pepa to be like his sister, and they bonded over their shared Jamaican heritage.
