Many of the Hongdae bars most frequented by foreigners play a lot of 90s music... I guess nostalgia sells drinks? Just go to Hongdae, find a pack of 22 year old white people, and 90s music is sure to follow.

22 years old? Those people were only 8 when the President and that drunken crop duster saved the world from aliens.

They were only 11 when Neo first studied KungFu.

Remember the music?

They're at the fringe of the 90s. They would have been 4 when Ross Perot ran for President. 7-8 When trying to understand the young adult angst of alternative music. Maybe they would have gotten into Boy Band and Britney/Rap glory days. But I doubt they would have remembered the day Tupac died.

But I understand thinking 22 means "still in the 90s" I've started to experience time freeze myself.

I think people born before 1985 can remember the 90s well.

Just remember that 90's music in Korea will have been decidedly different to 90's music back home.

If you love Trot then you should be in luck though. There's a cool club called 'Halmonie's' just behind Minwook University, down the alley between Paris Baguette and The Face Shop, up just a little bit from KFC. The crowd might be a little old but they're always up for it.

That question makes me feel very old, and I am not that old. The fact that someone could be into "90's music" as a genre is weird and almost makes me sick to my stomach.

i think thats just you being paralyzed by too much knowledge. Consider being young where you get "best of the 90s" compilations, (just like you and I saw 'best of the 70s').

Im curious how you square the circle of plastikman and sepultura, but i what think might have happened is that when history came to judge, they threw all that peripheral stuff out the window and went with wonderwall, parklife, and maybe some TLC/destiny's child.

The best place to hear 90s music? Go to Anyang, watch an Anyang Halla game. Nothin like 90s dance tunes while watching hockey. YEAH!

It got way better than that. It seems to me that it's always the crappy stuff that gets revived first in these revivals, then people dig a little deeper and find the cool stuff.

Yes! They overlook classics like:
