Are we doomed to rinse and repeat the \u201990s because nothing that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bollywood<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> produces is ever going to be as memorable ever again?<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is easy to take a brick to Bollywood\u2019s pretty but empty head, but the industry\u2019s fixation with remakes, is not just because heartwarming nostalgia is good business. And definitely not because the \u201990s were musically good \u2013 they were awful. The recent tyranny of reboots is merely Bollywood catching up to the fact that \u201990s music has continued to persist as a force of popular culture that continues to bind people together across generations, defying the logic of both musical tastes and quality.<\/span>\n\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><p>Much to my personal delight, \u201cKaali Kaali Aankhein\u201d, Sanu\u2019s idea of a party song, is once again a hot favourite, as is \u201cCheez Badi Hai Mast Mast\u201d, lyrical misogyny notwithstanding.<\/p><\/blockquote> \n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Music from that decade has an uncanny ability to bring people together.

I have found more friends based on our shared ability to belt out the most obnoxious Kumar Sanu songs with gusto than any networking app can even imagine. I have revived forgotten bonds based on collective memories of singing \u201cEk Do Teen\u201d and \u201cTip Tip Barsa\u201d (because is it really raunchy if Sanu does it?) during every single round of antakshari we had ever played. For years now, announcing the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/mumbai-india-monsoons-weather-in-mumbai-rains\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rains<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> via Anu Malik\u2019s inimitable \u201cDekho Baarish Ho Rahi Hai, It\u2019s Raining\u201d is a tradition for my brother and me, drawing reactions that range from nervous giggles to scandalised horror. \u201cChanna Mereya\u201d may be the new jam for the broken-hearted but really, nothing I know brings lovelorn souls together like the ultimate curse the beloved anthem \u201cAcha Sila Diya Tune\u201d. And when Anu Malik resurrected Kumar Sanu and nailed the \u201990s in 2015 with \u201cDard Karara\u201d, the resulting sound of squealing delight echoed across my <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/whatsapp-message-fake-forwards-news-viral-parents-trend-media-social-media-facebook\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WhatsApp<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> groups for days.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It may be as a joke or sincere admiration or just a fond memory, in my personal experience, \u201990s music is an icebreaker that works like a charm in almost every setting. It doesn\u2019t matter how many strangers are there with me in an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/indian-lifts-elevator-neighbours-society-culture-stories\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">elevator<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (or a bus or a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/outdoors\/solo-travel-single-make-my-trip-gokarna-goa\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">solo trip<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or literally anywhere), I know I can always find a kindred spirit and even form lifelong bonds, based on whether or not they can sing (off-key, of course) \u201cJhanjhariya\u201d aloud while giggling about Suniel Shetty\u2019s legendary black poncho.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the ever-changing landscape of cool, Kumar Sanu and his ilk have become a permanent fixture. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/people\/in-betweeners-millennials-internet-youtube\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Older millennials<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> like me who may struggle to find their way around Prateek Kuhad know they can get easy access into hipster clubs based on our vast, unbeatable knowledge about every one of the 17,000 Sanu songs, cashing in on the moony-eyed fascination of the new-age cool crowd still trying to fathom the enigma of the Arijit Singh of the \u201990s. \u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The \u201990s in Indian popular culture is like Elvis Presley\u2019s ghost. It refuses to die. And \u201990s music is not just music \u2014 it is our one direct connect to an era we somehow have refused to outgrow. An era that retains a charm that is as authentic as Alisha Chinai\u2019s \u201cMade in India\u201d, as sexy as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/love-and-sex\/milind-soman-dating-girlfriend-age-gap-ankita-konwar\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Milind Soman\u2019s<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> rippling abs, as romantic as Sonu Nigam\u2019s \u201cDeewana\u201d, as melodious as Falguni Pathak\u2019s payal, as cocky as Anu Malik\u2019s defiance of all laws of copyright, as groovy as Govinda\u2019s pelvic thrusts, as cool as Baba Sehgal\u2019s definition of rap\u2026 and as unforgettable, as unavoidable as Kumar Sanu\u2019s ever-relevant anthems for the love-struck and broken-hearted.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And it is not just confined to Kumar Sanu or the angst of the griever. I have danced to \u201cSaat Samundar Paar\u201d more times in the last year than I did in the entire first grade when it used to be everybody\u2019s go-to song at birthday parties. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Much to my personal delight, \u201cKaali Kaali Aankhein\u201d, Sanu\u2019s idea of a party song, is once again a hot favourite, as is \u201cCheez Badi Hai Mast Mast\u201d, lyrical misogyny notwithstanding<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Every DJ worth his salt knows that ten different versions of \u201cGajar Ne Kiya Hai Ishara\u201d are a must to make any wedding-dance party happen, not to mention the entire collection of recreated as well as yet untouched list of Punjabi songs that headlined the Indie-pop scene. After all, nothing says \u201chappening\u201d like a bunch of excited strangers screaming<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOho Ho Ho\u201d to the chorus of Sukhbir\u2019s \u201cTaare Gin Gin\u201d on a pitch dark dance floor.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cassettes in our cupboards have long been thrown away and the walkman is an antique that deserves a spot next to the Tazos being sold on eBay. The appeal of the music that first floated through those cassettes and walkmen in our lives, however, lives on. In a way, it is ironic because minus the rose-tinted nostalgia, it is not hard to remember that the \u201990s were not really as iconic as our post-millennial obsession is making them out to be.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A whole chunk of that era in terms of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/kaanta-laga-glory-days-chadhti-jawaani\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">music<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/bollywood-2017-nostalgia-90s-comeback\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">films<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was loud, cheesy, cringe-worthy, and lacked self-awareness at every imaginable level. And perhaps that is what makes it a popular-culture fixation in our hyper intellectual times. The naivety adds to the allure, as does the utter lack of sense of irony. It is a joke that keeps running on a loop, getting funnier the more aware we become. And of course, the nostalgia about the good ol\u2019 times adds to the flavour. It is no wonder that leading the post-millennial army of Sanuphiles and \u201990s admirers are a bunch of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/millennials-job-work-culture-generation-gap\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">millennials<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> who were perhaps sucking on pacifiers when Sanu was at his peak. Their love for the \u201990s is partial nostalgia, based on snatches of personal memories and large chunks pop-culture imagery. For them, it is a celebration of a longing that is not their own. And why not? The \u201990s is a gift that keeps on giving, even if you missed them the first time around.
