Nineties Nostalgia

Among the many definitions of a 90s kid, the one that I thought was appropriate was this -
"A group of human beings that have spent some part of their childhood in the 1990s, regardless of whether they were born in the 80s or late 90s."

There is a lot of nostalgia attached to the 90s ( when life was much simpler and technology was just taking off) as can be evidenced by certain videos that have been circulating in social media - a prime example being 'Things today's kids won't know or things only 90s kids would remember'.

For me, a very important part of my memories of the 90s is a phenomenon called Indipop. Indipop was a rage, thanks to the then-newly launched channels, Channel V and MTV India. Indipop encompassed Indian pop music, remixes of old film songs, rock bands and also the occasional group of singers from Pakistan. Here are 9 Indipop songs that were immensely popular and the ones I remember the most -

1. Made in India by Alisha Chinai -

2. Pari hoon main by Sunita Rao -

3. Dooba dooba by Mohit Chauhan -

4. Tanha Dil by Shaan -

5. O Sanam by Lucky Ali -

6. Sanidhapa by Colonial Cousins -

7. Purani Jeans by Ali Haider -

8. Sayonee by Junoon -

9. Breathless by Shankar Mahadevan -

There were so many others - Asha Bhonsle, Sonu Nigam, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Baba Sehgal, Bally Sagoo, Falguni Pathak, Pankaj Udhas - who were also part of the Indipop scene. Whenever I hear or remember any of these songs, it makes me nostalgic and thankful for having these memories of music.
