If I were asked to name one song that defined the lifestyle ambience of the late 90's, I would have to choose Blur's "Girls & Boys."
In the 90s, Blur was a Britpop band that eventually reinvented themselves to be more alternative rock and mainstream. From their Parklife album, released in 1994, their discoesque "Girls & Boys" found an audience in the states and popularity reaching 59 in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.
When I moved to Austin, 13 years ago, I remember hearing "Girls & Boys" as a background track on 101X The Morning Show with Sara and Jenna--I believe they used this as their intro and promos.
"Love in the 90s, is paranoid." This was perhaps more apparent living in Austin and bar and club hopping on 6th Street and the Warehouse District, where "Girls who are boys, Who like boys to be girls, Who do boys like they're girls, Who do girls like their boys," was the norm.
