Let’s face it, fashion trends come and go faster than a politician’s promise. But music? Music is forever. That’s why it’s no surprise that certain genres, like comfy mom jeans, are refusing to stay tucked away in the attic.
This year, we’re seeing a resurgence of some truly epic music genres that’ll have you digging out your old cassette player (or firing up your favourite music streaming service; we’re not judging). So, put on your dancing shoes and get ready to boogie to these musical blasts from the past:
1. 90s grunge
Remember flannel shirts, ripped jeans, and angst-ridden lyrics about… Well, everything? Grunge is back, baby, and it’s ready to reign over the airwaves once more. Get ready to unleash your inner Kurt Cobain (minus the unfortunate ending, please) and mosh around to the sounds of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Alice in Chains.
Why the comeback? Maybe it’s a rebellion against the overly produced pop music of today. Maybe it’s a sign that teenagers are still angsty (what a surprise!). Or maybe, just maybe, we all secretly crave the comfort of a good flannel shirt and ripped jeans on a lazy Sunday.
Fun fact: Did you know that the term ‘grunge’ was originally used to describe a dirty, run-down place? So, the next time you wear your favourite ripped jeans, you can tell everyone you’re just embracing the grunge aesthetic (wink wink).
2. Disco
Platform shoes, sparkly jumpsuits, and music that makes you want to dance until your head spins; that’s the magic of disco! This genre is making a comeback in 2025, and it’s bringing the party with it.
Why the comeback? People are looking for ways to let loose and have fun after a few rough years. Disco is all about positivity, celebration, and dancing like nobody’s watching. So, put on your boogie shoes and get ready to shake your groove!
Fun fact: The word ‘disco’ is short for ‘discothèque,’ which is a French term for a nightclub. So, the next time you hit the dance floor, you can impress your friends with your newfound knowledge of French discothèques (très bien!).
3. 80s Synthpop
Think neon lights, leg warmers, and keyboards that sound like they’re straight out of a sci-fi movie. Yep, 80s synthpop is back in a big way! Get ready to crank up the tunes of Depeche Mode, The Human League, and Eurythmics.
Why the comeback? Maybe it’s the resurgence of 80s fashion (hello, fanny packs!). Maybe it’s the undeniable catchiness of synthpop melodies. Or maybe, deep down, we all secretly want to live in a world filled with neon lights and big hair.
Another fun fact: The first commercially successful synthpop song was ‘Don’t Stop Believin’’ by Journey, released in 1981. So, the next time you belt out this iconic tune at karaoke, you can do so with the knowledge that you’re participating in a musical revival.
There you have it! These are just a few of the music genres that are making a comeback in 2025. So, dust off your old records (or fire up your favourite streaming service), crank up the volume, and get ready to dance the night away!
