Party Like It's 1999

As the decade comes to a close, I chose to look to Prince for some guidance. In his 1982 smash hit "1999", the artist suggested that we party as such. Keeping this in mind, I felt it was only necessary to provide a post dedicated solely to the block-rocking beats of the year. Music in 1999 was nothing short of amazing. As grade schoolers, we noticed the impact of this revolution first hand. Classmates (every girl plus maybe that one awkward kid) roamed the hallways with *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys tour shirts on a weekly basis. As we began to approach junior high, music became a much more relevant medium for us to use and be aware of. One could no longer get by socially with just the assistance of cartoons or your performance in the game the night before. At this point in time, we were all old enough to start appreciating music and possibly even watching MTV on a regular basis (TRL with Carson Daly anyone?). Whatever the case may be, music has played a pivotal role in all of our lives up to this point. I thought it would be appropriate, with graduation looming and the end of our era at Bradley, to display this by posting several videos. Hope you all enjoy!
