    It depends on the era to imo:

    2. Mid 90s-grunge, nirvana and green day say it all
    3. Late 90s-pop and boy bands

    I went to Mexico in college for spring break. It was March 1994. The Macarena was played in every club, usually more than once a night. We learned the dance, and it was fun for a few days. But, by the end of the week, we had heard it enough and were over it. Over a year later, it blew up in the USA. I tried telling people that they would hate themselves for getting sucked into the craze. They didn’t believe me until about a month later.
