02/24/09 -Boy bands. Pop-punk. Metal. Pop princesses. These are the varied sounds of '90s music. While the economy continues in a downward spiral, these varied sounds and their performers seem to be making a comeback as the '90s music recession seems as though it is coming to an end.
That means good news for all you fans who knew each and every boy band in existence, ranging from *NSYNC to the Backstreet Boys, to LFO and 98 Degrees, all you fans who jammed to the stylings of Korn and Limp Bizkit in your garage and all you fans who ran naked around your house after seeing the music video for Blink 182's "What's My Age Again?"
It's also lucky for all you girls who covered your walls with Justin Timberlake's magazine pull outs, all you girls who wrote your first name and your favorite BSB members' last name in heart shapes all over your notebooks and all you girls who made up dances for your school talent show to "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls and "Genie in a Bottle" by Christina Aguilera.
Fans who believed Carson Daly was the all-knowing God of music, for all you fans who dedicated your weekday afternoons to the TRL daily countdown just to see if "I Want You Back" would take the top spot and all you fans who believed that you would be singing "God Must Have Spent a Little More Time on You" on "Say What? Karaoke," can rejoice.
It also brings joy to fans who knew every "mmm" and every "bop" that Hanson song, and to all you fans who used the lyrics to Shaggy's song "It wasn't Me" as an excuse at one point with your boyfriend or girlfriend. It's for all you fans who declared you would marry your member of a boy band.
The latest resurrection of '90s music and its performers is just plain good news. Music from this time experienced an almost fatal recession as Britney lost her mind - and her hair -- Nick Carter gave in to drugs, Eminem took a sabbatical, Carson Daly disappeared from TRL, Joey Fatone appeared on an episode of Hannah Montana and Travis Barker of Blink 182 was in a plane crash that nearly killed him.
