The 90s are back in so many ways, but our favorite tracks never left.

My 90s playlist breaks down why we love the hits of the 90s so much.

What made our favorite songs so popular back then and why we are so nostalgic for them now?

Throughout the season, our host, Tracy Clayton and Acoto Affordada will celebrate their picks

for a quintessential 90s playlist and explore the work of Backstreet Boys, Mariah Carey,

Saline D. Yawn, A Tribe Called Quest, and more.

Weekly episodes start October 13th.

One of my favorite things about boy bands I do believe is how a all of the

successful ones have five members and each of those five members have an assigned archetype and that those

archetypes can pretty much be tracked from boy group to boy group. This is

so fun I can't wait to go through this exercise.

Can I walk you through the archetypes? Okay. So number one you have like the heartthrob

slash the sweet one right and this is the person that you think about is like the

the face of the group per se, like the one who's like most likely to go solo.

And when you think of like the lead singer, it's kind of the one that you think about,

usually a former model and usually the one who's in the group to like draw like the

screams out of the teenage girls who like follow them around and chase them when

they're getting on planes like in the in the video okay right right and in the

backstreet boys this would be Nick, right?

Interesting. Do you agree? I always thought that it was Brian.

Because Brian, to me, looked more like a man boy instead of just a boy.

I'm not a man.
