CBC Music put together this two-and-a-half minute supercut of the vocal hooks that defined an entire generation of ’90s alternative rock music, featuring music from The Lemonheads, Pavement, Weezer, Alanis, Paul Westerberg and The Cardigans — just to crack the surface.
On one hand, it’s kind of depressing to see the music of my formative years reduced to a bunch of woo woo’s, hey yeah yeahs, whoa-ohs, na-na-nas, and ooh-oohs. On the other hand, right now I have such a nostalgia boner that at karaoke tonight I’m going to sing ALL of the ’90s songs. Yeah I know, that 4 Non Blondes thing didn’t work out so great for me last time I tried it, but f*ck it, time for a re-do.
