40 Of My Favorite Things: #33

90s Dance/House Megamixes! It’s Saturday night, so let’s party.

I touched on this in an old entry, and if you’re wondering why I’d rather rave at home instead of a club these days, it’s because of these hours-long mixes of 90s dance/house/rave music. There’s something to that era of dance music (mid-late 90s) that always hooks me in. It’s probably because when that music was happening, life seemed to be more socio-politically sane. The Gen Xers that were partying to all that were partying–no cell phones, no social media, and no taking selfies of yourself every other minute (because cameras were bulky back then). There was also no pandemic and the fashions from that time were lit. I was born a decade late to experience all that in real time (I was a preteen/teen when those mixes played in the clubs), so if you see rave lights coming from my studio apartment on a Saturday night, that’s just me clumsily raving like an X-er to one of those fun megamixes.
