In the late 90s—a time when the music industry was still ruled by pop princesses and boy bands—MTV began incorporating acts like Moby, Fatboy Slim, The Chemical Brothers, and other electronic music artists into its regular programming. For those of us who grew up watching MTV shows like Total Request Live and Latin America's Los 10+ Pedidos, these videos are imprinted onto our retinas, and these melodies are our go-to tracks to hum whenever we're lost in memories of simpler times. We selected a dozen songs that turned into cult classics for those of us who grew up listening to them on repeat.
