Andromeda DavisAs the current decade draws to a close, let’s take a look back at the greatest decade ever. Yeah, I’m talking about the 90s. If you’re a Gen X or older Millennial kid, then these bands were the soundtrack to your glory days. Break out the combat boots and flannel because we’re heading back in time with a personalized 90s mixtape for every sign of the Zodiac!
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Aries, your 90s mixtape has got to include tunes that’ll get you pumped up. None of that mopey grunge stuff for you! That’s why Green Day and the Beastie Boys dominate your favorite artists of the decade.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
As someone who enjoys the finer things in life, Taurus, you prefer music that isn’t too loud or bombastic. Dave Matthews Band features heavily on your 90s playlist, but you like to mix things up with a little bit of Hootie & The Blowfish, too.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Gemini, your tastes are all over the place. Your 90s mixtape is a dizzying blend of hip-hop, grunge rock, and pop music because you just can’t decide. Think Outkast, Nirvana, and En Vogue all on the same tape. That’s how eclectic you are.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You tend to like whatever’s popular on the radio, Cancer, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Mariah Carey and Celine Dion were two of the biggest artists of the 90s, and you still love to listen to their greatest hits.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
Leo, your number one requirement for music is that it’s dramatic. If you can’t sing along in the car at the top of your lungs, then what’s the point? Your 90s icon is Alanis Morissette.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Virgo, your music tastes tend to follow the Billboard charts. You like what’s popular, and in the 90s that meant Bryan Adams and Aerosmith. Is it cool to dig that kind of dad rock? Nah. But I dare anyone not to sing along to “I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing.”
Libra (September 23-October 22)
Libra, you enjoy just enough edginess in your music to feel daring without listening to anything too heavy. That’s why you loved No Doubt and Bush. Pop punk, girl power, and a dash of angst–what more do you want?
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Only sheep listen to pop music! You’re all about alternative rock–the harder, the better. Your 90s mixtape is heavy on Tool and Nine Inch Nails. And there’s a very good chance you still own a pair of black leather combat boots.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
Now, I’m not saying that you were a stoner in the 90s, only that a certain kind of laid-back, Reggae-inspired music was your jam back then. Sublime and Blind Melon feature big on your astrology-approved mixtape.
Capricorn (December 23-January 20)
The 90s might be best remembered for alternative rock, but it was also a great era for mainstream country. You won’t apologize for loving Shania Twain and Faith Hill. Their music holds up!
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
Aquarius, the 90s was a great decade for free-thinking rebels like you. Your playlist is all about that Lilith Fair scene–we’re talking Fiona Apple, Sarah McLachlan, and Jewel.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
In the 90s, Pisces, you were obsessed with your favorite pop supergroup. Maybe it was the Spice Girls, maybe it was the Backstreet Boys. But you knew every song, wallpapered your room in posters, and begged your parents to take you to their concerts.
