How does anyone not understand the Aqua song/video? It was clearly a social commentary track against the very thing they were parodying. It was meant to be ironic, as most things in the 90s were, especially in music. I will always defend that song to the death. It was a classic and brilliantly made dance track. You rarely get melodies like that which stick around for hours after hearing it.
Not a hill worth dying on. Personally, I think you're reading too much into the fucking song. It's a shallow and pretentious piece of shit that was made to be a one hit wonder. To which it succeeded. The fuck you mean it was a commentary track? 😂😂😂 What are you high on, and can you share some of that with me?
The 90s was an awesome decade.. and the music! From rap.. rnb.. grundge.. punk rock.. metal.. dance.. electronic.. house.. pop.. there's always something for you. More 90s please!!!
The "scuttling across the floor like a crab" dance MC Hammer does was called The Typewriter. To master that without looking & feeling absolutely ridiculous would've been a crowning achievement...believe me, I tried!
I worked on a ton of music videos in the 90's and had an absolute blast. Some of the directors I worked with were just starting their careers and are some of the biggest, most talented directors around. We had so much creative freedom. It was all about having fun.
My kids were the '90's kids but I look back on this music now as if I were a teenager myself. The biggest surprise has been seeing old BSB videos now and realizing it wasn't all about Nick, like NSYNC and Justin. Brian and Howie appear to do most of the main vocals which gives me a different perspective on the band.
As someone who grew up in the 90’s, all these give me huge nostalgia. I used to roller skate 🛼 in dance competition and I won a competition with Cotton Eye Joe. It was so much fun lol
It's not really ridiculous. A lot of these video aren't they are just kinda weird or cringe which is not ridiculous. I'm sure there's plenty they missed.
The Backstreet Boys, unlike other Boys bands, are still very active. I saw them twice, and the most recent, 2022. They even put out a great Christmas album last holiday seasons.
@@JadenYukifan28 - I knew he could sing and that he’s really popular in Germany. I didn’t know that the music video for his cover of Hooked on a Feeling was his actual music video. The way it’s formatted looked like someone who wanted to create a meme did that in their basement.
@@lmj2k Green Screens can do that, but there were some real life parts as well.....Also, there was one song he did that was an original one and it was cheesy, but good
My first thought of the qpgwmh video was "I don't know why they're dancing in the rain with open shirts, BUT I LOVE IT! (Especially when Howie body rolls)
I’ve been trying to find Groove is in the Heart for days now and I couldn’t remember the beat or lyrics, I only remembered the music video. This video helped a lot!
If you want ridiculous you need to watch what comes out of Japan. World Order, Dead Lift Lolita, Baby Metal lots of messed up bands with head scratching videos that somehow work.
I’ve always thought Black Hole Sun was a amazing video. It has a truly deep meaning once you get past the oddness of the imagery yet it’s fun to watch for its strange look. It’s one of my favorite music videos ever made.
This list was clearly created by people who didn't live through the 90s. Some of these are ridiculous but others were a clear product of the time. I had never even thought about that Lemonheads video or Germany version of the N Sync video as ridiculous.
They always try to hate on Celine Dion any way possible , she is unproblematic and one of the greatest singers of all time And there was nothing wrong with the video
Michael Bay directs Vanilla ice video, Vanilla ice has a cameo in Teenage mutant ninja turtles 2: secret of the ooze, Michael Bay produces 2 TMNT reboots, the 2nd has ice ice baby in it... DAMN
That whole Superunknown album is a masterpiece for Soundgarden, especially if you love loud, distorted guitars. There is no doubting that Black Hole Sun is a great song, but that whole album was full of songs just as good: The Day I Tried to Live Fourth of July Like Suicide Spoonman Superunknown Fell on Black Days
This list would be better titled, "Best Ear Bug Music Videos of The 90's". The fact you made this list and don't have any Bjork, Primus, Radiohead, Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliott videos is astounding. They don't do normal.
That song, Bue, all I've ever heard was "I'm blue, I believe I will die". It's amazing how people thought I was crazy, until we grew up and they developed depression (which I had since before I could remember), and now they hear it too.
I miss the days of watching music videos like these & TRL on MTV. The reality shows they show these days are awful! Thanks for this trip down memory lane Rebecca! I had several favorite songs on this list!☺️
If I could go back to this time period . . . even if only for a little while . . . I'd do so in a heartbeat Nostalgia overload 😞 Thanks for the videos team Mojo 💓 Be safe and STAY blessed everyone 🙏
"Black Hole Sun" is THE scariest music video I've ever seen. I haven't seen it in its entirety in 25 years, yet the face of the girl with the braces and the jumprope is forever etched into my long-term memory. Her face sometimes appears in my nightmares.
Recently, My Dad was helping me with my homework, and he had the MTV classic channel on. The music video for “Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)” was playing on there. So it looks like there really isn’t outrage over the music video anymore.
Celine Dion's It's All Coming Back to Me Now , was written by Jim Steinman, but was originally recorded by Meatloaf. Released only as a bonus track on a best of album, later rerecorded as a Duet with Marion Raven, then officially released on the "Bat Out of Hell III" album.
Thinking back, I remember this subtle anxiety to just reach 1999/2000 in the 90's. The year 2000 seemed surreal at the time. Like a door to a new world. Now I'm 22yrs in, 43yrs old.. and the 1 thing that truly became a symbol of the new millennium; cell phones.
I swear that video made me have an interest in boys And I wasn't even a total fan of the Backstreet Boys until 1999. My 9yr old self looked forward to that video.
@@NickSamon Yeah MTV is a bunch of bitches. I remember seeing "Closer" when I was 13 and was like wtf am I watching lol. It's also incredible that Trent Reznor did the entire album by himself.
Black Hole Sun, the song, was a masterpiece in my humble opinion. It’s release was right after Cobain’s death so to me and what I’ve read it was not about Cobain’s death. Cornell had heard a news anchor reporting a story and had mentioned black hole sun and he thought that would make for an interesting song title or lyrics. So he went home and wrote. And here with are. The video is creepy but this song is intoxicating! “CHRIS CORNELL: I wrote it in my head driving home from Bear Creek Studio in Woodinville, a 35-40 minute drive from Seattle. It sparked from something a news anchor said on TV and I heard wrong. I heard ‘blah blah blah black hole sun blah blah blah’. I thought that would make an amazing song title, but what would it sound like? It all came together, pretty much the whole arrangement including the guitar solo that’s played beneath the riff.”
Other odd, but great, 90s videos include "Praise You" by Fatboy Slim, "Da Funk" by Daft Punk, almost anything by Radiohead ("Just", "Paranoid Android" "Karma Police", etc), "Virtual Insanity" by Jamiroquoi, "Smack My Bitch Up" by The Prodigy, "Bitter Sweet Symphony" by The Verve (which partly inspired "Vindaloo"), "Karmacoma" by Massive Attack, "Rabbit In Your Headlights" - UNKLE feat Thom York, "Windowlicker" by Aphex Twin, "Buddy Holly" by Weezer...
I will always love Groove Is In The Heart because my cheerleading squad choreographed our competition routine to that song and won second place. So many fun memories.
I miss those days when you have to wait for 4 hours straight for mtv to play your favorite music video hahaha. My favorite mv when i was 11 is closer by 9 inch nails.
@Joe Brooks because those times were just enjoyable, I was a kid in the .90s and a lot of new video clips back then felt like an event, like how it happened when BB or MJ released a video, I remember my entire class getting a break because not just our teacher but all the girls in my class were such fans of them
I remember waking up early on Sunday mornings as a kid watching Black Hole Sun on VH1(that's back when VH1 would air a little more family friendly music compared to mtv) and being extremely freaked out.
I have to agree, there's nothing ridiculous, insincere, or "stupid" about it, unlike all the other entries that do fit the premise for this list. I was very confused because of its inclusion as soon as it popped up.
Hard to believe 1990 was 32 years ago, which is also the age I was in 1990. That's life for. One moment you're admiring your high school diploma and the next thing you know you're 64 .
Give it Away is an epic music video. Contrary to what Rebecca said, the Chili Peppers' first major hit came 2 years prior with Stevie Wonder's cover of Higher Ground.
Theres something..unique about 90's...and music now just doesnt have the same type of uniqueness. I think the 90's will forever be my childhood. Even though I was born 2001 it really fits
"Blue (Da Ba Dee)" clip by Eiffel 65 actually introduced me to the whole music video popculture in 1999 (I was 13 back then). What did attract me to this clip? All those themes like: space travel, sci-fi, futuristic setting, aliens, blue color, cheesy heroics, a sort of mystery, very catchy tune, videogame-style 3D video, the fact that it was released just shortly before year 2000 that epitomised my imagination of the future... All those themes, elements etc. in just one short 3-4 minute clip! I was simply destined to love it, and their "Europop" album :D And it's still large part of my nostalgia today :)
Same here. They're awesome. I have the Aquarium album on Spotify. It's my favourite pop album ever. Love them or hate them, you can't deny their music is catchy as fuck.
Just a bit about Sound Garden and the song "Black Hole Sun". The inspiration for the song title came from “Black Sun” a 1969 sculpture by Isamu Noguchi located in Seattle.
Groundbreaking video and song! Shannon Hoon was so freaking talented and I’m still sad we didn’t get to enjoy more of him. So many of the greats lost before their prime.
It's All coming back to me was one of my faves :) Nothing better then trying to belt out those notes as you sing alone while watching the MV :) Quit playing games with my heart was every teen girls fave lol Blacked holed sun was so creeping but great, all at the same time

Heart-shaped Box and Whatzupwitu .
Blue (Da Ba Dee) and U Catch Touch This.
Also, watch the Aquabats music video for Super Rad! Lots is silliness there.
What about those crazy Henry Rollins, Bjork & Marilyn Manson music videos!!
NO !!!!
I'd rather have 90's ridiculous music videos over what mtv is showing these days
Too cartoony
Ya mean how cancerous music nowadays are. i agree
I didn't know MTV still played videos anymore.
@@theresaiwright7085 They don't, that's my point 😄
👍👍👍
This just shows how the 90's were waaaaaaay more fun than any of today's music and videos...
Indeed, more color and everything. These days everything is modern and barely any exciting movements.
For real! I actually love the Red Hot Chili Peppers music video! I feel like there was more fun and/or more storytelling
yes! that's it, my friend! my 8 yr old said "it must've been fun living in the 90s, mom"... yep, it really was
The 90's music videos were awesome. I miss the old mtv
100%
How does anyone not understand the Aqua song/video? It was clearly a social commentary track against the very thing they were parodying. It was meant to be ironic, as most things in the 90s were, especially in music. I will always defend that song to the death. It was a classic and brilliantly made dance track. You rarely get melodies like that which stick around for hours after hearing it.
And been for decades
Yes!!!!! Thank you!!!!! 💗
And it's full of things that kids doesn't understand until they're older. 🤣🤣🤣
finally a great comment on this iconic video. agree totally, 90 best
Not a hill worth dying on.
Personally, I think you're reading too much into the fucking song.
It's a shallow and pretentious piece of shit that was made to be a one hit wonder. To which it succeeded.
The fuck you mean it was a commentary track? 😂😂😂
What are you high on, and can you share some of that with me?
I think we can all agree the 90's was a great era for music AND VIDEOS
The 1990's was the best!
💯
Sorry 80s rule
80s music videos are the best
Wasn't a thing wrong with the 90s...or the 80s. Give me those two decades over any other any time. FUN. Total fricking blast.
💯
Oh, I so miss the music vids of both eras!!!
@@kanditraxel Me too!
I have nostalgia for everything 90’s. The farther we get away from the 90’s the more I miss those times
That is because we are middle aged now. Time flies!
@@ilahildasissac1943 lol
Same
Multiply that for 2 I have nostalgia for the 90’s and the 80’s. 80’s best in rock, 90’s best in pop.
@@nmv33 - Same here...
I feel this is a personal attack on my childhood
We had some bull**** out back then tho
@@GiveItUpDot Some
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Minus a cpl of songs these are JAMZZZZ!!!
@@GiveItUpDot not as bad as today's bullshit
Sure, if ridiculous means EPIC. These videos are my youth, man! 😂
I find ''ridiculous'' very insulting, especially for this last decade of golden music
Always throwing shade on our shit. Newsflash: there’s other music besides cock rock.
@@duncan3998lmao
this channel is epic jealous
As a 70s baby who grew up in the 80s, when I hear her describe these videos as "dark" "creepy" or "weird" I'm like... that's nothing!! 😃
Surely she never saw NIN, Marilyn Manson or Tool videos... 🤔
this channel is a fool ..period
The 90s was an awesome decade.. and the music! From rap.. rnb.. grundge.. punk rock.. metal.. dance.. electronic.. house.. pop.. there's always something for you.
More 90s please!!!
Even gospel music was better too lol
And I promise you, no one complained that the backstreet boys are half naked in the rain
Unless you're straight...
Hell no, it heated my teenage blood 🤣
Hahaha
Literally me
In our house, it was ‘The Wet Song’. Interpret that how you will…
The Barbie girl video was genius. Put respect on that.
You're right... That style to any other song would be complete garbage but it truly works with Barbie girl...
The video solidified Aqua as the bubblegum pop pioneer
Heh
Seriously!
Have you seen em on tiktok recreating the vid?
The "scuttling across the floor like a crab" dance MC Hammer does was called The Typewriter. To master that without looking & feeling absolutely ridiculous would've been a crowning achievement...believe me, I tried!
He was an incredible dancer before he hit big. That isn’t a surprise. I had his first album.
I thought it was called the M.C. Hammer
I managed a nightclub a friend bought me a pair of hammer pants but I couldn't bring myself to wear them
The typewriter? Why not Zoidberg?
(V) (,,;,;,,) (V)
...Okay,...Just as long as M.C. wasn't packing a Chicago typewriter, aka Tommy gun, aka Thompson sub-machine gun!
I worked on a ton of music videos in the 90's and had an absolute blast. Some of the directors I worked with were just starting their careers and are some of the biggest, most talented directors around. We had so much creative freedom. It was all about having fun.
Do you have any particular favorites from then?

Ooohh Brian Littrell 😍
You mean Brian and AJ, Howie isn’t a main vocalist nor has been until their recent albums.
I'm not ashamed to say that "I'm a barbie girl in a barbie world" is one of my fav 90s songs ever. But when I was a kid I secretly listened to it
I loved that song as a toddler 😅 I listened to it straight up till I became an NLOGer at 15.
Cmon man not cool
Brave U R....lol....
@@donnajohnson8226 I never tried to be cool. It is uncool. I am just a nerd living in a barbie world. Everything is plastic and appearances. ^.^

Vanilla Ice’s video totally looks like something you’d see on SNL, like the Dick in a Box skit 🤣🤣🤣
OMG I was just about to write this EXACT comment!! I thought "The SNL guys would do this video!"
When I first watched that song from SNL my first thought was this song by vanilla ice 🤣
That vid is PAINFUL. He could sing dick in a box and it wouldn’t be funny anymore. (I bet he wouldn’t need a very big box either......😉)
For some reason I was seeing Vanilla ice silhouette as Johnny Bravo
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Coffee And TV is still to this day one of the most brilliant tv videos. I felt sad for that milk package for years
Same here. I'm still traumatized
Poor milky 😞
At least he earned his wings.
I was traumatized and shocked , like really upset
🤗
I was born in 1970 - was a teen in 1980 - and DANCED MY ASS OFF to all of these songs in the 90's! Club city baby! Love them all.
As someone who grew up in the 90’s, all these give me huge nostalgia. I used to roller skate 🛼 in dance competition and I won a competition with Cotton Eye Joe. It was so much fun lol
WICKED! :D
I wish I could see that!
@@JennyEverywhere omg it was so much fun. Anything u can do on ice skates, u can do on roller skates. It needs to be in the Olympics!
What was ridiculous about the MC. Hammer video?!?!
Damn they had some fun back then, everything delivered with a hint of humor
That's how MTV was back then until the 90s were ending and the boy bands invaded.
@@chrisrj9871 Naw I loved everything I was a big on the boy bands but Rock and Hip Hop/rap was amazing too!
How, oh how, did Jamiroquai not make this list?? Virtual Insanity is a both a memorable video and iconic of the mid-90's.
Because that video is actually pretty damned good and not over the top.
@@lmj2k I agree. I was mind-blown when that vid came out way back.
It's not really ridiculous. A lot of these video aren't they are just kinda weird or cringe which is not ridiculous. I'm sure there's plenty they missed.
Who?
@@2129823293 - In the time of Google and TH-cam, there’s no need to ask who someone is in a comment. Look them up.
All of these videos are a lot better then most of the music videos put out today...
Yeah they should do a video for 2010s and 2020 or 2021
Come on now...
Facts.
Lol
I agree!
The Backstreet Boys, unlike other Boys bands, are still very active. I saw them twice, and the most recent, 2022. They even put out a great Christmas album last holiday seasons.
that backstreet boys video definitely got some peoples hearts pumping lol
"U Can't Touch This" is still one of my most favorite songs of all time.
I love the crab walk he does🤣
Me too!!
The music video was pretty cool
I love how his pants looks like massive soiled dipers
It will never grow old. Nothing can touch it.
Holy shit, that David Hasselhoff video is real?!?! I thought it was just someone making their own homebrew video or making a meme.
He’s Hoffull! Hoff and Awful at the same time!

@@JadenYukifan28 - I knew he could sing and that he’s really popular in Germany. I didn’t know that the music video for his cover of Hooked on a Feeling was his actual music video. The way it’s formatted looked like someone who wanted to create a meme did that in their basement.

Yes! My roommate in college had that video linked to her AOL instant messenger profile 🤣
Out of every music video I remember seeing in the 90s, Black Hole Sun sticks out the most. As a child I was confused yet intrigued.
I am thoroughly convinced that Black Hole Sun would top the charts in almost any decade starting from the late 60s.
Yeah I was 7 when this video came out and rewatched it recently and it's still confusing but interesting.
I wasn't sure if I liked or hated the R.H chili peppers, but I NEVER forgot it, it was so different 🙂🙂🙂
I was terrified lol and I was 9 but the music was amazing
My first thought of the qpgwmh video was "I don't know why they're dancing in the rain with open shirts, BUT I LOVE IT! (Especially when Howie body rolls)
I’ve been trying to find Groove is in the Heart for days now and I couldn’t remember the beat or lyrics, I only remembered the music video. This video helped a lot!
None of these are ridiculous. They are nostalgic works of art. This list has brought back fun memories and I love it. ❤
If you want ridiculous you need to watch what comes out of Japan. World Order, Dead Lift Lolita, Baby Metal lots of messed up bands with head scratching videos that somehow work.
It's a different era opinion, if they made this review back in 90s, I bet only a few from this list would make it.
Ur ridiculous 😭
@@conniethesconnie I love those bands lol and I'm a 90s teen. 🤷🏻♀️
Right? IMO music was fun in the 80s early 90s and the videos show this.
Most of these are just reasons why the 90's music videos were completely and utterly unbeatable
I’ve always thought Black Hole Sun was a amazing video. It has a truly deep meaning once you get past the oddness of the imagery yet it’s fun to watch for its strange look. It’s one of my favorite music videos ever made.
That whole album was great. I loved Soundgarden and went on to be a fan of other more awesome bands because of them, like Pantera and Skinny Puppy.
Fck that vid it seemed everytime I turned to my it was on. Not bad song but like it was on constant loop😅
This list was clearly created by people who didn't live through the 90s. Some of these are ridiculous but others were a clear product of the time. I had never even thought about that Lemonheads video or Germany version of the N Sync video as ridiculous.
I really miss the 90's- early 2000's era. Some great music to listen to & music was very creatively made. Great video...please keep em coming !!
EARLY 2000s was GREAT for certain movies that are considered classics now
You know you've hit rock bottom when it's midnight and you're watching a flying David Hasselhoff sing hooked on a feeling.
Badly
Yep
Its all coming back to me now by The iconic Celine Dion is a masterpiece. Its not Ridiculous.
The best Video on this list, Iconic, not ridiculous, also is the best singer too out of those videos.
Thank you. It's one of my favorite songs. Ever. And I remember when the video came out. I recorded it on my VCR. (Don't laugh at me)
They always try to hate on Celine Dion any way possible , she is unproblematic and one of the greatest singers of all time
And there was nothing wrong with the video

That whole Superunknown album is a masterpiece for Soundgarden, especially if you love loud, distorted guitars. There is no doubting that Black Hole Sun is a great song, but that whole album was full of songs just as good: The Day I Tried to Live
Fourth of July
Like Suicide
Spoonman
Superunknown
Fell on Black Days
I gotta say, wasn’t really into that kind of music but that album doesn’t have a bad song on it.
This list would be better titled, "Best Ear Bug Music Videos of The 90's". The fact you made this list and don't have any Bjork, Primus, Radiohead, Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliott videos is astounding. They don't do normal.
And Fatboy Slim!
And Green Jelly, some of Madonna's videos, the Presidents of the United States of America, The Toadies and of course Weird Al
"It's All Coming Back To Me Now" vs "I Will Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" .....hmm....same vibes
Unbreak my heart by Toni Braxton too..all 3 videos were similar too me in the 90s but liked them.

Born in the wrong era but I’M HERE 🙋🏾♀️
Seriously - quit playing games was basically pornography to my preteen self in the 90s. That music video gave me the feelings 😂
The “wet” version got so much bad press because of their nipples. 😂
I swear that video made me have an interest in boys And I wasn't even a total fan of the Backstreet Boys until 1999. My 9yr old self looked forward to that video.

Being a partying teenager in the 90's, this list was fun to run through again.
Those are breads and buns. I see no starfish no matter what anyone says!
More lists from the 90s please!
If Michael Bay were to direct a music video, it's no surprise it was for Vanilla Ice.😂
Nine Inch Nails "Closer" and Marilyn Manson "The Beatiful People" are crazy 90s videos also
Crazy good!
@@Nina-rg8es Unfortunately, MTV didn't liked the "Closer" video because.....
You know.
@@NickSamon Have you seen the video featuring The Muppets?
@@Nina-rg8es It's a funny fanmade music video but however, I actually disliked The Muppets. I liked the drums part of the Muppets music video.
@@NickSamon Yeah MTV is a bunch of bitches. I remember seeing "Closer" when I was 13 and was like wtf am I watching lol. It's also incredible that Trent Reznor did the entire album by himself.
Damn, the 90s were a wild time. What a time to be alive
The ridiculousness of 90s music videos was the reason why I was hooked on them in the first place
Black Hole Sun, the song, was a masterpiece in my humble opinion. It’s release was right after Cobain’s death so to me and what I’ve read it was not about Cobain’s death. Cornell had heard a news anchor reporting a story and had mentioned black hole sun and he thought that would make for an interesting song title or lyrics. So he went home and wrote. And here with are. The video is creepy but this song is intoxicating!
“CHRIS CORNELL: I wrote it in my head driving home from Bear Creek Studio in Woodinville, a 35-40 minute drive from Seattle. It sparked from something a news anchor said on TV and I heard wrong. I heard ‘blah blah blah black hole sun blah blah blah’. I thought that would make an amazing song title, but what would it sound like? It all came together, pretty much the whole arrangement including the guitar solo that’s played beneath the riff.”
I love the bsb's and n sync. There's enough room in the Charts for both 💖
I thought Primus deserved to be on this list. "Wynona's Big Brown Beaver" was weird as it gets.
Right does it get more bonkers then Primus
I concur.
@@ace448 yep, like Dread Zeppelin, Gary 'Plantman' Young, Ween, Alien Sex Fiend and a shit load more. Great songs but weird ass videos.
Definitely could take the place of BHG, Soundgarden, or Right Said Fred in this list
Yeah, I feel like My Name is Mud or Mr. Krinkle could be here as well
Other odd, but great, 90s videos include "Praise You" by Fatboy Slim, "Da Funk" by Daft Punk, almost anything by Radiohead ("Just", "Paranoid Android" "Karma Police", etc), "Virtual Insanity" by Jamiroquoi, "Smack My Bitch Up" by The Prodigy, "Bitter Sweet Symphony" by The Verve (which partly inspired "Vindaloo"), "Karmacoma" by Massive Attack, "Rabbit In Your Headlights" - UNKLE feat Thom York, "Windowlicker" by Aphex Twin, "Buddy Holly" by Weezer...
Or anythong feom Björk
Half of these songs would be top 10 charts if released today.
I'm not disagreeing, but that only goes to show how low the bar is now.
This generation could not appreciate the sound of good music sad to say
I will always love Groove Is In The Heart because my cheerleading squad choreographed our competition routine to that song and won second place. So many fun memories.
I miss the 90’s. It was so fun and innocent.
I miss those days when you have to wait for 4 hours straight for mtv to play your favorite music video hahaha. My favorite mv when i was 11 is closer by 9 inch nails.
you were a weird kid
Closer is still a classic
@@gab_luc more like a kid who has good taste.
Those days were amazing and hilarious
@Joe Brooks because those times were just enjoyable, I was a kid in the .90s and a lot of new video clips back then felt like an event, like how it happened when BB or MJ released a video, I remember my entire class getting a break because not just our teacher but all the girls in my class were such fans of them
I remember waking up early on Sunday mornings as a kid watching Black Hole Sun on VH1(that's back when VH1 would air a little more family friendly music compared to mtv) and being extremely freaked out.
'Black Hole Sun" is a masterwork.
I have to agree, there's nothing ridiculous, insincere, or "stupid" about it, unlike all the other entries that do fit the premise for this list. I was very confused because of its inclusion as soon as it popped up.
That video gave me nightmares. I have quite overactive imagination that doesn't help.
Yes. I can't believe it made the list! It's a great video!
I'm a huge backstreet boys and NSYNC fan they were my 90s love em both
90s era was the most amazing era.. it was my teen era.. I grew up with Nysnc, bsb, spice Girls, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson and mariah carey..
It was my childhood era (born in 87) so yeah it was the best to me to
90's is a weird decade with awesome music
At the time the 90's felt like a pick and mix decade borrowing from all the previous decades and making something new and unique in the process
Seriously the best decade!
I liked Weird Al's parody of the Give It Away video.Weird Al had some great video spoofs back in the 90s.
I was thinking "Yabba dabba do now!" all during that.
My favorite - Amish Paradise!
@@queenboudicca31 yeah, that’s his biggest hit.
RIP Coolio
When Rebecca said, "raging barn rave", I just about spit out my drink. Never were there 3 words that should never be spoken in that order. LOL!
I remember raves in caves
I want to have a raging barn rave
You clearly aren't from the American Mid-West
I always loved the Coffee and Tv video!
Hard to believe 1990 was 32 years ago, which is also the age I was in 1990. That's life for. One moment you're admiring your high school diploma and the next thing you know you're 64 .
Lord, Vanilla Ice's "I Love You" is absolutely terrible. I can't believe they even released that crap.
Lighten up on' bills! Compared to Milli Vanilli, he's effing Pavarotti!!
Now we want the best 90's music videos!
Hmm imo a lot of these videos were great and iconic to me lol..
Give it Away is an epic music video. Contrary to what Rebecca said, the Chili Peppers' first major hit came 2 years prior with Stevie Wonder's cover of Higher Ground.
Theres something..unique about 90's...and music now just doesnt have the same type of uniqueness. I think the 90's will forever be my childhood. Even though I was born 2001 it really fits
One of my favorite songs in the '90s was Mambo No. 5 by Lou Bega 😀
"Blue (Da Ba Dee)" clip by Eiffel 65 actually introduced me to the whole music video popculture in 1999 (I was 13 back then). What did attract me to this clip? All those themes like: space travel, sci-fi, futuristic setting, aliens, blue color, cheesy heroics, a sort of mystery, very catchy tune, videogame-style 3D video, the fact that it was released just shortly before year 2000 that epitomised my imagination of the future... All those themes, elements etc. in just one short 3-4 minute clip! I was simply destined to love it, and their "Europop" album :D And it's still large part of my nostalgia today :)
I absolutely love Numb. The Edge freaking killed it.
Oh god, that whole era of U2 videos was great. Lemon, and Even Better Than The Real Thing. U2 was epic back then.
I still listen to Aqua. These guys are the best
@Jason Mistretta I agree
Same here. They're awesome. I have the Aquarium album on Spotify. It's my favourite pop album ever. Love them or hate them, you can't deny their music is catchy as fuck.
Ahh the 90s!! Still listening to 90% of these songs on a regular basis.
Just a bit about Sound Garden and the song "Black Hole Sun". The inspiration for the song title came from “Black Sun” a 1969 sculpture by Isamu Noguchi located in Seattle.
The 90s were a wild decade. (In a good way)
I'm a simple girl: I saw Backstreet Boys and I clicked.
Blind Melon- No Rain should have at least got an honorable mention ❤️❤️❤️
Yes!!!💯
How about Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm by Crash Test Dummies?
Groundbreaking video and song! Shannon Hoon was so freaking talented and I’m still sad we didn’t get to enjoy more of him. So many of the greats lost before their prime.
I knew someone would say it!!!
I agree
Thanks for the memories and nostalgia, Rebecca! :)
It's All coming back to me was one of my faves :) Nothing better then trying to belt out those notes as you sing alone while watching the MV :)
Quit playing games with my heart was every teen girls fave lol
Blacked holed sun was so creeping but great, all at the same time
