About This Quiz

The '90s decade is known for so many things, ranging from fashion, television and technological advances to political scandals, sports and so much more. And don't you think we forgot about music! We purposely left out music's influence in that list because it's a no brainer and something so big that it deserves its own sentence. So many of the popular and chart-topping songs that were played almost 30 plus years ago are still listened to and enjoyed today.

Were you listening to Billy Ray Cyrus' "Achy Breaky Heart" or belting your heart out to sing Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You"? What about those classics like "No Diggity" by  Blackstreet, "Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice, "No Scrubs" by TLC or "U Can't Touch This" by MC Hammer? Whenever these songs are played today, it instantly brings people back to that decade, and they can't help but to break out and dance. The beats are just so catchy! In this quiz, you'll get to take a walk down memory lane and pick from '90s songs for each question. It's your chance to feel nostalgic and our chance to guess what you do for a living based on the '90s songs that you pick!
