    Why the 90s still hit different

    The 1990s were a golden bridge between analog warmth and modern production. Melodic hooks, unforgettable mukhda–antara structures, cassette culture, MTV, and the rise of multi-composer soundtracks made the decade timeless. Whether you grew up with these tracks or found them on streaming apps, the 90s feel both cinematic and cozy.

    • Signature sounds: lush strings, flute motifs, synth pads, dholak/tabla grooves, and simple-but-sticky choruses.
    • Cassette nostalgia: Side A & Side B sequencing shaped how albums were experienced.
    • Cross-genre magic: romance, disco-pop, ghazal, indie-pop crossovers, and item numbers.
