Am I just really young or does this song sound like it was released in the Y2K era? I swear I would’ve never guessed this was released in 2004. This sounds straight out of 1999 lol.

Am I the only one who thinks that this song released in 2007 sounds like it would top the chart today? The vocal style and beat doesn’t seem out of place in 2020 at all.

Sounds perfectly of its time to me. The production is nothing special, it's a Clash sample with a drum machine beat on top. Could have been made in 2000 for that matter. Mainstream rap nowadays has standardized rules when it comes to flow and beat pattern, none of that present here.

I still think this popular 2010 song wouldn't sound out of place in 2007. I used to think this was a 2007 song until I realized it was released in 2009/2010.

It sounds completely of its time to me, the beats in the song aren't too dissimilar to what you would hear in a Jason Derulo song from the early 2010s. You can tell its from the electropop era.

Does anyone feel like this song sounds more like 2006 rather than 2008? Her songs Womanizer and If U Seek Amy sounds very of their time but Circus sounded 2 years behind when it came out.

I know this technically wouldn't count, but it sounds so quintessentially mid-1960s it's odd to think that the first season of Scooby-Doo aired mostly in 1970 with this intro when mainstream pop rock already had moved on well past this cheery, simplistic British Invasion-type of stuff towards more much complex arrangements instead: Well, the late '60s weren't just complicated-sounding psychedelic rock songs. If anything, bubblegum pop made a huge comeback on the heels of the Jackson 5, who debuted around the exact same time. Heck, "Sugar Sugar" was the #1 song at the time of the show's debut. The song's production also sounds distinctly late '60s/early '70s; the mid-'60s, by contrast, were dominated by Phil Spector-ish reverb and echo, not this type of tightly knotted mixing. I think I brought this up on the InThe00s version of this thread, but one show that has had an outdated-sounding intro imo is Pokémon. The famous Indigo League intro is from 1998, but it absolutely screams '80s, specifically 1983 (when arena rock was still dominant but things were just starting to develop that MTV sound), If you visit the Genius page for the song, it compares the composition to Bon Jovi's "Runaway", which is just what I thought upon revisiting it for the first time in awhile a few years ago. Even the vocalist on the song sounds extremely out of place for the time. He sings with the theatrical gusto of a 1980s pop star, when by 1998, music was dominated by acts like Foo Fighters, *NSYNC (yes, even their singing style wasn't that over-the-top), and Everclear. The Indigo League theme remains a classic, of course, but for the Orange Islands season, 4Kids tried harder to sound "modern", I guess, but instead ended up sounding more like East 17, a boyband popular in the early-to-mid-'90s, than the Backstreet Boys or *NSYNC: Is there a chance it was recorded in 1996/97 right when it was taking off in japan? Maybe they arranged parts of it around the same time for the intent of releasing it the US later on or something related that could have been part of a deal. I know such a song wouldn't feel out of place in a animated or kids/teen show in the mid 90s or mid to late 90s where sometimes corny dated songs were the norm. Also there might be a trend of americanized anime from this time and later with similar outdated or corny songs. I have the sense that this might be a trend, but it would need to researched.

Wikipedia says it was recorded in 1998. "Outdated" and "corny" are pretty vague indicators of a song's style; the track just stylistically sounds like it came from the early-to-mid-'80s.

Yeah, still never know when it was recorded but it could have been recorded in 1998 as stated . What I meant is basically 80s sounding stuff that felt somewhat out of date was carried to some extent into the mid 90s kids showsand possibly even more of thing that was unique both Japanese anime and Americanized anime well into the 2000s and beyond 90s intro shows that come to mind with mid 80s sounding intros: sailor moon power rangers dragon ball neon genesis 2000s/2010s dragon ball z kai A number of other shows still have this 80s feel

This song came out in 2014, but it sounds like a late 2010's pop song. Hell, I don't even think this would sound out of place today. This song was definitely ahead of its time for 2014.

This hip-hop song from 2013 sounds like it's straight out of 2017. It's too bad the artist of this song died in March 2014. I feel like he would've had a big impact.

Released: 1983
Sounds: 1962
It's scary how extremely accurate this sounds as an hommage to early 60s pop. Reminds me of this song in particular:
