I saw an interview with E-Type where he told a story of him having a gig at a university or something like that and it dawned upon him that not one persion in the audience were born when the songs came out and the audience knew every single word to every single song. He was just amazed.
Reading the Twitch chat and seeing all the 90's Dance Dance Revolution fans talking about Captain Jack, 2Unlimited, and E-Rotic brings a tear to my eye and makes me feel old as hell.

The "I'm blue, if I was green I would die" was a Scottish football thing between rival teams as well, since two major teams in Glasgow are both blue and green, the Rangers and the Celtics. The more you know. I wouldn't be too surprised if that's where the whole thing spread.
I was born in '83 and although I've always been more of a rocker and metalhead. I can attest, these songs really did seem to draw in all of us. As far the songs listed in this video, Blue by Eiffel 65 was without a doubt the biggest one for myself and many others I grew up with.
It seems to be that some of the most popular songs become 'memes', while also being some of the best music out there. Blue, What is Love, Zombie, Sound of Silence, and so on and so on. They grow a meme status but for a reason. They are legendary pieces of music. Im a 93' baby and still i find myself sticking about older music before my age or when i was young. Very little these days seems to interest me despite my love of everything from opera to electronica and metal. I generally stick to the bands that aren't on radio. But some of these 'meme' songs are REALLY good productions. Shooting Stars is a good example for me personally. I listen to it some nights to relax and fall asleep. I have pretty high standard though cause of my mother who was a singer. But if you like something, don't let anyone hold you back. My wife is a BTS girl, i can't stand em even if i respect what that are trying to be. Its annoying sounding to me. Then again what i listen to annoys her! Enjoy your music and styles. Just cause it's a 'meme' don't mean anything. Music is our universal language. Speak your words through it and relax. ((Appologies for the spiel but i felt it was relatable to the video and current music trends.))
I can attest of us Rockers/Metalheads being draw into EDM/Techno. I went to a rock/metal festival. Right before this band came on, they played that song they used for the Six Flags commercial from the 2000s.
I'm from '78, and a metalhead. I know all these songs, but not the titles or artists. My kid is asking me for the "da ba dee" song in the car all the time, it's driving me crazy...
4:22 Oh my goodness, the fact that younger people even know Totally Spies is crazy to me. It was such a nichely popular show when I was growing up (am 30 now), the fact that kids now even know it exists is wild.
I'm from Germany, born 1979, living close to the borders to Belgium and The Netherlands. This brought back so many memories. It was great to go to clubs in 3 different countries. Eurodance was huge, so was Rave, (Happy) Hardcore. I'm always astound how many artists and Eurodance projects are from Germany, Belgium and The Netherlands. They were really dominating this genre. Obviously we got great songs from other countries as well, like seen in the video. Maybe we shouldn't give a shit next year at the Eurovision Song Contest and bring back Eurodance and have the biggest dance party since the 90s.
Same here (living on the smallest diameter of the Netherlands 5 minutes from Belgium and Germany). Visited all club in the NRW area, Limburg and Brussels/Antwerp area!!! Born 1973, German Techno, Belgian Acid/New Beat and the Dutch Trance (and Gabber/Hardstyle.........) Loved it!
I was born 79 aswell I can't believe how many bands I listened to and never even knew they were German... Well Except for the obvious Rammstein , and KMFDM... lol
Depends what you mean by 'dance'.. Much of this stuff wasn't played in UK raves, more regular nightclubs. Or maybe I just ended up at the good ones. I think my top 3 from that era would be DJ Misjah & DJ TIm, Access; Thomas Heckmann, Amphetamine; Eat Static, Boney Incus (Man With No Name mix). Germany did have the Harthous lable though :p
Born in '02. My family listened primarily to a lot of their generational music, and that's how I came across many gems like these. My grandfather actually made me discover Styx, a great band that is one of his favorites!
I'm from Europe and have been born in one of the first years that are considered to belong to Gen Z and I confirm, the songs are a trip down memory lane. I know, you've been surprised about that and I can understand why, however I can explain at least my nostalgia with memories of travelling with my parents somewhere in the car and our radio, whether the radio stations with the "greatest hits from the 80s, 90s and today" or our car radio with my parents' music mix CDs inserted, blasting those tunes. Using the internet as of around 2009/2010, experiencing the rise of RUclips through millennial influencers, who grew up with that music, used it for memes etc., I think one can see, how Gen Z also experienced all that music and ties memories to it, even though differently than your generation did :D
YES! I guess i'd be a millenial but driving around in the car with my parents, visiting family we always played cassette tapes of THEIR favourite music. Thats why i know bands like ABBA, Deep Purple or Bonnie M - because they were the songs of my parents youth passed down through car traveling... Songs i would have never known otherwise.
Im also in the earliest group to be considered gen z and these songs were played constantly in the 2000s, especially at primary and high school discos etc
Yes, they definitely need to get into listening to some scary ass industrial, and goth type stuff, like The Prodigy, but also Skinny Puppy, Nine Inch Nails, Aphex Twin, or anything else that’s been used in in the background scenes of scary movies or playing while characters meet in a goth dance club, where there’s people dancing in cages for no reason, and the main characters of the film are the only people in the place that aren’t in full leather or latex fetish wear. The kind of electronic music that metal heads can enjoy, but before Skrillex, because they certainly know that stuff. Then again, maybe not-so if they threw that in there too, that would be fine too.
These are my teens, still listen to most of them this day. There’s a hardcore version of Kernkraft 400 that’s amazing too. And as a Dutchie of course proud to see so many European acts.
Sandstorm is eternal, it's a constant like. Somehow Darude created an immortal banger that will always slap to everyone who hears it. The song could be 100 years old but you could play that shit at a sporting event and everyone would lose their shit. Rhythm of the Night is one I've always fucked with but nowadays I can't think of that song without remembering the radio caller who thought the lyrics were "Reebok o es Nike" Every song they showed them is such an insane banger. I'll always rock out to every song here.
Yeah, Sandstorm is truly eternal. I think it's the "simple" build-up->beat-drop->catchy hook that doesn't over-complicates things too much. The song somehow tells you what to expect, and delivers in spades as promised. Anyone can easily rock out and dance on it after hearing the first few bars the song for the first time.
My older siblings used to tease me for liking the Eiffel 65 when I was a kid lol but today I've been listening to a bunch of more different bands of different languages, and opening my ear holes to a wider range of music ;)
i consider myself a metalhead but i knew more songs here than in any metal video form this series, haha. this brought me back to my teen years, electronic music has never been as good as it was in the 80s/90s/00s.
I was absolutely obsessed with cascada as a teen, I used to watch edits of final fantasy clips with Cascada songs overlaid and I didn't even play the game but I was infatuated with the romantic storyline presented.
All of my best memories, attached to these songs, are at my local skating rink. (Probably 10-13 yrs old) 😅 So much fun, attached to those “music memories.” 😎
Being born in the early 90s in Central Europe, eurodance, 90s trance etc, are genres of my childhood! Eiffel 65, Captain Jack, Alice Deejay, ATB, La Bouche, Masterboy, Snap!, Gigi D'agostino. Mr. President, Corona, Culture Beat, Blank & Jones... Damn, so many memories! Next month Westbam is playing in my city and I'm actually considering going 😂
I was 12 when VengaBoys released that album. I love how horny our music was in the 90s. I was 13 when Blue hit the charts(as in this came out around my 13th birthday)
I like your kind hearted reaction to these youngsters . Always enjoy your videos, but this one was cute, and I shared it with my husband. Nostalgia is a big thing, but it's hard to "teach" you can only share and hope they like it a little😂
I grew up in an area where pop and rap was the sound. EDM/house music wasn't just unpopular, it was unheard of. Summer of 2001, I graduate HS and spend a summer in Europe. Late July I think it was, I'm at RuisRock in Finland, absolutely wasted on some moonshine-tasting stuff in a liter juice container that some rando in our group handed me. Darude came on and played Sandstorm, and it was the first time I'd ever heard it. I bounced *so* much I was dizzy by the time his set was done. When I got back to the US that fall, that song was one of a myriad of EDM music that took over the radios. I had no idea that whole experience would still feel as magical when hearing the song 22yrs later. ❤
So as a old skool 90s raver, it's good to see kids learn where their samples really come from. I feel like they should've pulled one two mor obscure tracks. And I'm suprised they didnt include Heaven by DJ Sammy, which was played TO DEATH! I also, towards your comment at the end; raves, when these tracks came out, usually didnt have an age limit, club events did.😝
That guy's accents are pretty decent, German and Scottish are tricky! Pretty sure the Kernkraft track came before the chant, but i just read that it was a remix of a C64 tune from 1984 so I'm not sure anymore haha
We are having a one day festival in Sweden called "We that love the 90's" and we got bands like Lou Bega, Reel 2 Real, VENGABOYS, E-TYPE, CASCADA, 666, CORONA, ALICE DJ, CULTURE BEAT, Fragma, PARADISIO, Basic Element, PANDORA, DA BUZZ, DR BOMBAY, ATOMIC KITTEN and ATC are the more known ones and then some more Swedish bands from the era.
When I was 12-13 and listening to Vengaboys I thought they where some of the most explicit mainstream music on the radio, I hadn't heard about 2 Live Crew yet until Swedish Radio played Hoochie Mama in the middle of the day. Them not mentioning that "Listen to your heart" is a cover of Roxette's Listen to your Heart annoys me
Yep. Marie's live rendition of this song, standing alone at the front edge of the stage and looking so vulnerable, triggered all the protective instincts I am capable of. One of the finest voices in the buisness and now part of the heavenly choir. RIP Marie
Roxette had been one of ma favourite bands in the 90s. Same with Everytime We Touch. Such an iconic 80s song. I lived through 90s as a kid and I don't remember hearing Cascada's version at all. It will always be Maggie Reilly's song to me.
that's how you keep art from the past alive, by circling it around. let's be honest, how many classics from the 40s, 50s, 60s or 70s do we know? i bet not many. at least 80s and 90s are still strong in popculture.
@@elenuvien Only the songs that have been redone/cover by some bands... Like I fought the law, Louis Louis, ... Mind you being Born in 79 I stilllisten to some late 70's early 80's music yo this day...better than the crap that is being produced now.
I was born in 87 and from Australia but all these songs were huge here too. I loved David from ec’s incorporation of sandstorm in to his drum solo they posted. The presets still make think of early 2000s EDM
'Listen to your heart' original version was by Roxette. A band that ruled, but ultimately is only known for that one 'it must have been love´ from that awful movie with Julia Roberts. The lead singer, Marie Fredriksson, recently died from a long battle with cancer and my whole nation mourned her.
All these songs were a fixture every saturday night at my local nightclub. Epic trip down memory lane for me, considering I am old as dirt and was a full teen when the oldest of these came out. I miss the 90's so bad
Banger after banger, glad to have grown up with these songs. Also weird to see so many samples of these songs be hits nowadays, makes me feel very old haha. Also proud to see the dutch acts being represented with Vengaboys, and Alice Deejay 🇳🇱. About the lyrics in the 90s, there was this electronic song here in The Netherlands by T-Spoon called Sex on the Beach, being exactly what you think it would be. Crazy big hit, especially among kids.
@@BramLastname Oh my, you reminded me of the time me and schoolmates watched a horrible Estonian school bullying turned school shooting movie and then after, when everyone was silent in shock, someone put Sex on the Beach on loop for the rest of the evening.
people love genuine 1st time reactions, it makes you feel happy that person feels and understands where your coming from and what they have missed. great video, whats funny is most songs you see are either german or dutch bands
Wow, that was a massive, unexpected trip down memory lane. I either constantly heard alot of these songs on the radio, or had so many of these songs on various mix cds when I was growing up. My brother would make me cds sometimes after letting me go through his music collection to decide what I wanted on each one, and Blue was the very first song on the first cd he ever made for me. It's been a favorite ever since💙💙
The best part was seeing Thy Art Is Murder (supported by Whitechapel, Spite and Chelsea Grin) in Melbourne, Australia, and having Vengaboys play as the intro song before TAIM took the stage.
That video is SO great! ❤ I recognized 99% of the songs. Eiffel 65 was kind of mocked in Germany, because it's so simple, but everyone sang along anyway. Also "Listen to your heart" is originally from swedish Rockband Roxette (one of my first albums on tape!)!! And the original is WAY better than this lazy copy of it! Better off alone is an ALL TIME banger, still listening to it these days! ❤ And Vengaboys and Cascada - loved it! I didn't know they were huge in the US too, especially with Cascada I never thought that, because I thought they were kind of a "german phenomenon". @TanktheTech you should do a full throwback episode on the channel with all the germans in live chat 😂
As a swedish gen x born in the mid 70is. Hitting the clubs in the mid 90is these tracks is forever etched in my brain. We didnt even go out looking for girls, just dance and party. And some how found some nice girls anyway 😂
They should react to actual techno!!! Like Orbital, Josh Wink, Aphex Twin, Juno Reactor, Crystal Method, Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, Basement Jaxx, Tricky, DJ Spooky, Mr. Oizo, Massive Attack, Greyboy, and maybe some Paul Van Dyk
Tricky is trip hop as is Massive Attack , Aphex Twin is closer to drum and bass and jungle imo but really they just f..d up, though technically also classed as techno. Hell, either way I'd love to see those kids react to rubber Johnny or even Who's your daddy 😅😅
fun thing, Tiktok making Around the World trend was ripped straight out of a Vine when that platform existed lol, it trended back then from 3 kids doing it
Its hilarious for me! i technically count as Gen Z (born in 98), but know all of the songs as i have 4 older siblings and this was the music i was listening to most of the time (cause of my siblings and my parents). Got a friend that thought i was in my late 20s until recently till i told him, that i was born in 98 and he couldnt believe it XD. Just because i connect way more with Gen Y and older and less with Gen Z and Alpha (as its currently called, seems wrong though).
That’s the same with me, I was born 2002 and I remember these songs 😂 we used to listen to them in high school and primary school.. I’m 21 now I feel old 😂
Ugh you just made me feel old AF. Definitely was a Senior in HS when most of these came out and went to Raves and these were all BRAND NEW 😂 My first concert without my parents was The Venga Boys and LFO 😂😂😂
I just go "OOF" a couple of seconds into every song, first it hurts my soul, but then I get happy when I see the kids vibe it! Such a great concept for a YT channel
Someone mentioned that this was Love Parade stuff. Please note that the music in this video is NOT Techno, it's called Eurodance, which was generally considered as "trash music" by anyone in the Techno scene. And still to this day it is somehow offensive to call those songs Techno or Trance. I think the first Techno song that appeared in the charts was "Das Boot" from U96. Another song (and classic) from that time you would have heared at the Love Parade is for example "Turkish Bazar" from Emmanuel Top. And you will instantly notice the difference when you hear those songs.
Electronic Dance Music (EDM) became the all-encompassing genre. Most people will equate that with Techno. The only people who care about the actual difference are those who actually know all the genre divisions and therefore should know better lol.
Great review. I'm a 90's kid (November 1990) and this whole react was a vibe. I actually had that Eiffel 65 album (Europop) and there were some absolute bangers on there!
Legit, every time I hear what is love, all I can picture in my head is those three in a car bopping their heads side to side...and I have never seen that movie.
My daughter was born in 1995 and I remember discovering and watching the react channnel with her I think by now they can do react to the original react videos this channel has been on for so long Love seeing gen Z people complain way to much about them
“They totally play these today at frat parties” Well yeah because at some point in your life you will have heard every single one of these legendary songs that will live forever
What they did not mention is that the Cascada piece is originally by Maggie Reilly, 1992. Can't help wondering will the future dance music producers have anything that is truly new today, to sample from ? It does seem that the current ones aren't composing anything, just taking samples that might even have bee sampled already.
Numa Numa was more of a viral meme song in the states. The song itself wasn't really played on the radio or at clubs, everyone just knew it from the Numa Numa guy video.
Blue came on the radio in the bus at work, i decided to start singing it "I'm blue, i would beat off a guy, i would beeeeat of a guy" and the whole crew joined in 😂 good times!!
I love it! My kids are learning about this through my goofy ass making up random lyrics to iconic songs. Eiffel 65 Move Your Body is "wash your body" for a bath time song. Prodigy Smack My Bitch Up for us is "Smack my kids up"
Magic Melody was from this casting group called beFour and I *still* remember how they were the maincast of this Doku-Soap "beFour: the Star-Diary" so my child-self always thought they were just some actors doing songs for children and then waaaaay into the future, when I was older, I realized they were actually legit and succesfull
Omg, people still remember Darude??!! This is great news to me, since us Finns rarely get celebrated in the pop sphere! I remember Sandstorm being a huge hit, but I had no idea it was that fondly remembered outside of Northern Europe!
Im an 05 baby, but what Tank said about parents listening to it made a lot of sense the music I listen to now is influenced from family members and what they listened to, and what i was introduced to while growing up, my music taste is a lot different from a couple years ago as I've found what i like listening to, but I always find myself going back to a few songs that I've listened to or heard in the past
The 90s were always 10 years ago.
Exactly. Haha
Yep...
A keep tellling myself that too 😂
So my brain is permanently locked in at 28 years old….aaaaack
The fuck?
I saw an interview with E-Type where he told a story of him having a gig at a university or something like that and it dawned upon him that not one persion in the audience were born when the songs came out and the audience knew every single word to every single song. He was just amazed.
To see someone namedrop E-Type in a 90's music video comment section is amazing to me too.
So much bangers they could not fit into this video.
Reading the Twitch chat and seeing all the 90's Dance Dance Revolution fans talking about Captain Jack, 2Unlimited, and E-Rotic brings a tear to my eye and makes me feel old as hell.

I was absolutely obsessed with cascada as a teen, I used to watch edits of final fantasy clips with Cascada songs overlaid and I didn't even play the game but I was infatuated with the romantic storyline presented.
Did you know that Cascada's version was actually a cover? The original is from 1992 by Maggie Reilly.
@@HH-hd7nd Maggie Reilly's voice was amazing. Although I mostly know her from her collaboration with Mike Oldfield in his more radio friendly songs.
BRO, im so glad I watched your reaction to their video before i saw it on the actual channel cause you are so relatable with your commentary.
The beauty of "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" is that it samples another song for it's main hook, too. Look up "Cola Bottle Baby".
Majority (if not all) of Daft Punk stuff is samples, crazy huh? 😁
All of my best memories, attached to these songs, are at my local skating rink. (Probably 10-13 yrs old) 😅 So much fun, attached to those “music memories.” 😎
Being born in the early 90s in Central Europe, eurodance, 90s trance etc, are genres of my childhood! Eiffel 65, Captain Jack, Alice Deejay, ATB, La Bouche, Masterboy, Snap!, Gigi D'agostino. Mr. President, Corona, Culture Beat, Blank & Jones... Damn, so many memories! Next month Westbam is playing in my city and I'm actually considering going 😂
I’m surprised “Don’t Stop” by ATB wasn’t in the video
Fun fact: ATC - Around the world is a cover from a russian pop group "Руки вверх"(Hands in the air) which produced it originally in 1998.
I'm honestly surprised they didn't do "Robert Miles - Children" or "Scooter - The Logical song"
The Logical Song would not be an obvious choice for Scooter though. Fire, How Much Is The Fish or the iconic Hyper Hyper should have been in there.
Waaaooo just seeing the name Scooter reminded me of their "Fire" song.
Yeah, and PAKITO - LIVING ON VIDEO aswell
@@Uli_Krosse Nah gotta go with Maria hooked up to a webpage with a button that vibrates your entire browser.
I was 12 when VengaBoys released that album. I love how horny our music was in the 90s. I was 13 when Blue hit the charts(as in this came out around my 13th birthday)
But it sounds so “oddly wholesome”! lol
I like your kind hearted reaction to these youngsters . Always enjoy your videos, but this one was cute, and I shared it with my husband. Nostalgia is a big thing, but it's hard to "teach" you can only share and hope they like it a little😂
I grew up in an area where pop and rap was the sound. EDM/house music wasn't just unpopular, it was unheard of. Summer of 2001, I graduate HS and spend a summer in Europe. Late July I think it was, I'm at RuisRock in Finland, absolutely wasted on some moonshine-tasting stuff in a liter juice container that some rando in our group handed me. Darude came on and played Sandstorm, and it was the first time I'd ever heard it. I bounced *so* much I was dizzy by the time his set was done. When I got back to the US that fall, that song was one of a myriad of EDM music that took over the radios. I had no idea that whole experience would still feel as magical when hearing the song 22yrs later. ❤
Those kids missed out on Daft Hands and other lyric-related video versions of 'Harder Faster,' truly mindblowing \m/
So as a old skool 90s raver, it's good to see kids learn where their samples really come from. I feel like they should've pulled one two mor obscure tracks. And I'm suprised they didnt include Heaven by DJ Sammy, which was played TO DEATH! I also, towards your comment at the end; raves, when these tracks came out, usually didnt have an age limit, club events did.😝
That guy's accents are pretty decent, German and Scottish are tricky!
Pretty sure the Kernkraft track came before the chant, but i just read that it was a remix of a C64 tune from 1984 so I'm not sure anymore haha
Average night out in England ruclips.net/video/p1TCSbv_KPw/видео.html
These songs are still getting played heavy in the clubs, they'll never go out of style.
Midwest metal head here. Loved going down this with you. I'm a metal head, but never discount other music. Loved it.
This makes me feel SO old. Cause I was a DJ in the 90's. 😁
We are having a one day festival in Sweden called "We that love the 90's" and we got bands like Lou Bega, Reel 2 Real, VENGABOYS, E-TYPE, CASCADA, 666, CORONA, ALICE DJ, CULTURE BEAT, Fragma, PARADISIO, Basic Element, PANDORA, DA BUZZ, DR BOMBAY, ATOMIC KITTEN and ATC are the more known ones and then some more Swedish bands from the era.
When I was 12-13 and listening to Vengaboys I thought they where some of the most explicit mainstream music on the radio, I hadn't heard about 2 Live Crew yet until Swedish Radio played Hoochie Mama in the middle of the day.
Them not mentioning that "Listen to your heart" is a cover of Roxette's Listen to your Heart annoys me
That annoyed me too.
Yep. Marie's live rendition of this song, standing alone at the front edge of the stage and looking so vulnerable, triggered all the protective instincts I am capable of. One of the finest voices in the buisness and now part of the heavenly choir. RIP Marie
They (React) did mention that it was a cover of Roxette. Tank just cut that bit out of this vid.
2 Live Crew is WILD lol
Roxette had been one of ma favourite bands in the 90s.
Same with Everytime We Touch. Such an iconic 80s song. I lived through 90s as a kid and I don't remember hearing Cascada's version at all. It will always be Maggie Reilly's song to me.
Gen Z: : If they haven't seen it in a meme then they now nothin about it.
I mean, a few of these weren’t memes and they knew em. Haha
that's how you keep art from the past alive, by circling it around. let's be honest, how many classics from the 40s, 50s, 60s or 70s do we know? i bet not many. at least 80s and 90s are still strong in popculture.
@@elenuvien I know a lot of them. You're welcome.
@@elenuvien I know a ton of 50's-70's rock. Thanks Dad!
@@elenuvien Only the songs that have been redone/cover by some bands... Like I fought the law, Louis Louis, ... Mind you being Born in 79 I stilllisten to some late 70's early 80's music yo this day...better than the crap that is being produced now.
I agree with you Tank, the nostalgia trip is real. I'm really getting old xD
I was born in 87 and from Australia but all these songs were huge here too. I loved David from ec’s incorporation of sandstorm in to his drum solo they posted. The presets still make think of early 2000s EDM
'Listen to your heart' original version was by Roxette. A band that ruled, but ultimately is only known for that one 'it must have been love´ from that awful movie with Julia Roberts.
The lead singer, Marie Fredriksson, recently died from a long battle with cancer and my whole nation mourned her.
I'm really shocked Bass Hunter wasn't on there!
Damn, I've always been a metalhead but I sang along to every single one of these. There some absolute EDM bangers in the 90s!
You'll never convince me the lyrics are not talking about dying if they were green. To me those are the lyris.
No way. "I'm blue. I'm in need of a guy, I'm in need of a guy."
All these songs were a fixture every saturday night at my local nightclub. Epic trip down memory lane for me, considering I am old as dirt and was a full teen when the oldest of these came out. I miss the 90's so bad
The fact that they left out The Daddy of Dance, Robert Miles feels kinda like a sin, but easily still one of the most fun of these react vids
Trance baby
90s-00s dance and techno will always go down as the great music era everrrrrrr
Never thought of that many of these songs were sampled in other big hits .. kinda cool! What a legacy 90`s eurobeat is
My favorite metal/EDM fusion album is The Path of Totality. Korn SMASHED that album
Banger after banger, glad to have grown up with these songs. Also weird to see so many samples of these songs be hits nowadays, makes me feel very old haha. Also proud to see the dutch acts being represented with Vengaboys, and Alice Deejay 🇳🇱. About the lyrics in the 90s, there was this electronic song here in The Netherlands by T-Spoon called Sex on the Beach, being exactly what you think it would be. Crazy big hit, especially among kids.
They actually had to change the title on CD releases to Sax on the Beach,
Because they knew how popular the song was with primary school children.
@@BramLastname Oh my, you reminded me of the time me and schoolmates watched a horrible Estonian school bullying turned school shooting movie and then after, when everyone was silent in shock, someone put Sex on the Beach on loop for the rest of the evening.
people love genuine 1st time reactions, it makes you feel happy that person feels and understands where your coming from and what they have missed. great video, whats funny is most songs you see are either german or dutch bands
Wow, that was a massive, unexpected trip down memory lane. I either constantly heard alot of these songs on the radio, or had so many of these songs on various mix cds when I was growing up.
My brother would make me cds sometimes after letting me go through his music collection to decide what I wanted on each one, and Blue was the very first song on the first cd he ever made for me.
It's been a favorite ever since💙💙
The best part was seeing Thy Art Is Murder (supported by Whitechapel, Spite and Chelsea Grin) in Melbourne, Australia, and having Vengaboys play as the intro song before TAIM took the stage.
Das Boot by U96 should've been in there
I get shivers whenever I hear this one!
Absolutely.
I was born in '94 this is a trip down memory lane for me, so much nostalgia
That video is SO great! ❤ I recognized 99% of the songs. Eiffel 65 was kind of mocked in Germany, because it's so simple, but everyone sang along anyway. Also "Listen to your heart" is originally from swedish Rockband Roxette (one of my first albums on tape!)!! And the original is WAY better than this lazy copy of it! Better off alone is an ALL TIME banger, still listening to it these days! ❤ And Vengaboys and Cascada - loved it! I didn't know they were huge in the US too, especially with Cascada I never thought that, because I thought they were kind of a "german phenomenon".
@TanktheTech you should do a full throwback episode on the channel with all the germans in live chat 😂
The Roxette original is a 6-star, SSR-Tier classic
I'm 24 and recognized most from my dad's radio and pentatonix 90's medly cover.
As a swedish gen x born in the mid 70is.
Hitting the clubs in the mid 90is these tracks is forever etched in my brain.
We didnt even go out looking for girls, just dance and party.
And some how found some nice girls anyway 😂
Im glad these classics are being introduced to new generations, i just want to end it all when i remember its being done via tiktok
They should react to actual techno!!! Like Orbital, Josh Wink, Aphex Twin, Juno Reactor, Crystal Method, Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, Basement Jaxx, Tricky, DJ Spooky, Mr. Oizo, Massive Attack, Greyboy, and maybe some Paul Van Dyk
This taste list!
Tricky is trip hop as is Massive Attack , Aphex Twin is closer to drum and bass and jungle imo but really they just f..d up, though technically also classed as techno.
Hell, either way I'd love to see those kids react to rubber Johnny or even Who's your daddy 😅😅
@@TKBarnes that Lucas kid would be covering his eyes during Come To Daddy!!! LOL
Maybe I should add Oakenfold, DJ Dieselboy, Rabbit In the Moon and Sasha and Digweed
fun thing, Tiktok making Around the World trend was ripped straight out of a Vine when that platform existed lol, it trended back then from 3 kids doing it
I was told it’s “I’m blue I’m in need of a guy”
😂😂😂
My siblings and I sang “if I was green I would die” too, that’s so funny 😂😂
Its hilarious for me! i technically count as Gen Z (born in 98), but know all of the songs as i have 4 older siblings and this was the music i was listening to most of the time (cause of my siblings and my parents). Got a friend that thought i was in my late 20s until recently till i told him, that i was born in 98 and he couldnt believe it XD. Just because i connect way more with Gen Y and older and less with Gen Z and Alpha (as its currently called, seems wrong though).
That’s the same with me, I was born 2002 and I remember these songs 😂 we used to listen to them in high school and primary school.. I’m 21 now I feel old 😂
Ugh you just made me feel old AF. Definitely was a Senior in HS when most of these came out and went to Raves and these were all BRAND NEW 😂
My first concert without my parents was The Venga Boys and LFO 😂😂😂
FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE cover eiffel65 blue :)
haha its a great cover honestly
Great cover.
HOLY SHIT YOU KNOW JBO!!! Greetings from Germany, we're all pink on the inside.
sad no basshunter :/
Boten Anna... hard to explain to current kids what a Channel bot is^^
Born in 86... there were 3 songs i didnt know on the list which surprised me bcuz i always thought i was so open to and knowledgable about music 😂
I just go "OOF" a couple of seconds into every song, first it hurts my soul, but then I get happy when I see the kids vibe it!
Such a great concept for a YT channel
Eifel 65 - Blue was the ONLY track we had playing on repeat on a 3 day lan-party. Good old days hehe
Someone mentioned that this was Love Parade stuff. Please note that the music in this video is NOT Techno, it's called Eurodance, which was generally considered as "trash music" by anyone in the Techno scene. And still to this day it is somehow offensive to call those songs Techno or Trance. I think the first Techno song that appeared in the charts was "Das Boot" from U96. Another song (and classic) from that time you would have heared at the Love Parade is for example "Turkish Bazar" from Emmanuel Top. And you will instantly notice the difference when you hear those songs.
Electronic Dance Music (EDM) became the all-encompassing genre. Most people will equate that with Techno. The only people who care about the actual difference are those who actually know all the genre divisions and therefore should know better lol.
Great review. I'm a 90's kid (November 1990) and this whole react was a vibe. I actually had that Eiffel 65 album (Europop) and there were some absolute bangers on there!
Legit, every time I hear what is love, all I can picture in my head is those three in a car bopping their heads side to side...and I have never seen that movie.
got to give it to that one kid, most americans cant do a british accent but think then can but he nailed the scottish accent right there
Those young kids are missing out with amazing bangers, back in my days....damn I feel old
My daughter was born in 1995 and I remember discovering and watching the react channnel with her I think by now they can do react to the original react videos this channel has been on for so long
Love seeing gen Z people complain way to much about them
“They totally play these today at frat parties”
Well yeah because at some point in your life you will have heard every single one of these legendary songs that will live forever
When they showed a USC game for Darude - Sandstorm, I was stoked and mad at the same time. Clemson baby!
2005... It's been 18 years since I was 18 years old. Still no kids...
What they did not mention is that the Cascada piece is originally by Maggie Reilly, 1992. Can't help wondering will the future dance music producers have anything that is truly new today, to sample from ? It does seem that the current ones aren't composing anything, just taking samples that might even have bee sampled already.
I’m amazed that they didn’t have Numa Numa, but had Blue and Everytime We Touch.
Numa Numa was more of a viral meme song in the states. The song itself wasn't really played on the radio or at clubs, everyone just knew it from the Numa Numa guy video.
@@TankTheTech That is fair.
I still have the entire Interstella 5555 'movie' and now I have to watch it for the thousandth time, thanks for the reminder!
I grew up listening to Tech/Electro especially 90's and 2k and i think everyone should know every single one of theses songs played.
These comment sections are the best. So many people commenting around the same age, experiencing this music as it was brand new.
Listen to your heart was also a cover, original by the 80s band Roxette.
Blue came on the radio in the bus at work, i decided to start singing it "I'm blue, i would beat off a guy, i would beeeeat of a guy" and the whole crew joined in 😂 good times!!
I love it! My kids are learning about this through my goofy ass making up random lyrics to iconic songs.
Eiffel 65 Move Your Body is "wash your body" for a bath time song. Prodigy Smack My Bitch Up for us is "Smack my kids up"
Magic Melody was from this casting group called beFour and I *still* remember how they were the maincast of this Doku-Soap "beFour: the Star-Diary" so my child-self always thought they were just some actors doing songs for children and then waaaaay into the future, when I was older, I realized they were actually legit and succesfull
Omg, people still remember Darude??!!
This is great news to me, since us Finns rarely get celebrated in the pop sphere! I remember Sandstorm being a huge hit, but I had no idea it was that fondly remembered outside of Northern Europe!
The fact you said Blue wasn't the best song on the album made me start following you!!
I'm from 02 but my older brothers from 93 which is probably why I know all of these. Wish we could go back in time 😭
Im an 05 baby, but what Tank said about parents listening to it made a lot of sense the music I listen to now is influenced from family members and what they listened to, and what i was introduced to while growing up, my music taste is a lot different from a couple years ago as I've found what i like listening to, but I always find myself going back to a few songs that I've listened to or heard in the past
