Feeling tired?, sad?, uninspired?, unmotivated?, bored? Maybe even frustrated? Go back
in time with these timeless end of the 20th Century and early 2000s songs (1970-2015)
Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z children grew up with. Even if you have heard most or all of
these songs, give this playlist a try because you might just find yourself dancing for an
hour when you thought you were the saddest person on this planet 2 minutes ago. I hope
you enjoy!
