As a college student who goes out on the weekends, I've been exposed to many artists and music I've never heard of. When DJs play that music, it makes some people dance, but the majority just slowly sway because they don't know the song well enough to dance to it. People begin to leave the dance floor to get another drink or go to the bathroom, hoping that the next song is something they know. At this point, the DJ must notice the crowd is unamused because a throwback begins playing. Instantly, the dance floor is full of drunk, dancing Gen-Z's, and music for the rest of the night consists mostly of music from 1995 to 2010.
Whatever it may be, if you want to get a room full of Gen-Zs dancing, here are just a few hits that will undeniably make any of them get on their feet.

For some reason, Gen-Z loves throwback music, maybe because it brings us back to a simpler time, or maybe because it truly is superior to music today.
