Bollywood is trendy and exciting, with new trends emerging regularly. Every day, new trends occur, and we love to luxuriate in them. So far, the music business has been the most influential trendsetter. It had such an influence that its songs could be heard even in the most remote parts of the globe.
Disco Deewane was an album from the 1980s that sparked worldwide interest. It was given a new outlook on life with Kjo’s SOTY, and it has since then become a discotheque favorite!
Remember when Euphoria, Lucky Ali, Falguni Pathak, Bombay Vikings, and Bombay Rockers were all the rage? They didn’t have to use vulgar language to market their music. It was all about the best kind of music and rhythm. Ah! Those were the days of pure musical pleasure, free of hurling abuses and noise that define today’s music industry.
We’d call this a tribute to the 1990s because it was a euphoric period in our lives when music served as a substitute for colors. It was a period when a new music record was released every day. These albums provided us with the best of Bollywood artists. Indie-pop evolved as a counter-culture to Bollywood music in the 1990s.
So, let’s go on a musical journey down memory lane and relive the Indie-Pop Songs that made us drool and sing in the 1990s.
1. Kya Soorat Hai – Bombay Vikings
Bombay Vikings introduced us to pop, and this song couldn’t have done a better job.
2. Sayonee – Junoon
This was a cult band with a cult song to match. If this song is being played at a distance I can guess it from wherever I am.
3. Jaane Kisne – Shiamak Davar
It was a moment when everyone was attempting to be singers, and Shiamak wanted to get a scent of it as well.
4. Duur – Strings
This Pakistani band provided us with several excellent tracks, including this one.
5. Piya Re Piya Re – Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Teenage is incomplete without this wonderful legend’s music. He embodies the word “amazing.”
6. Chana Ve Ghar – Kunal Ganjawala
We loved thumping our feet to this song by Kunal Ganjawala.
7. Maaeri – Euphoria
What a wonderful composition! Listen to the MTV Unplugged version as well. I’m sure you’ll be amazed because I don’t love Maaeri!

Have you ever heard somebody with a voice as strong and energizing as Shubha Mudgal’s? During rainy days, this song is still a terrific companion.

You will not believe your eyes, it’s the beautiful Nimrat Kaur. The theatre setting and the mellow music, ah!

This one brings back so many memories for me. Isn’t it still apt?

Five charming gentlemen who can sing and sweep you off your feet. Ah! What a fantastic combination! Quite literally, Meri Neend Ud Gayi Thi.
17. Deewana Tera – Sonu Nigam
This is one of Sonu Nigam’s initial songs, and it is also one of his greatest.

Farewells, senti-friendship videos, and the completion of a college trip – these are all things that come to mind while thinking about this song. This song has always been there to communicate everything we’ve ever wanted to say about friendships and friends.

The incredibly lovely guy who sang us this beautiful song and stole our hearts with his deep dimples. Every girl assumed it was intended for her. *Yes, I did*

Back then, the Aryans were the shiz! We will never be able to express our gratitude enough for providing us with Shahid Kapoor and some calming romantic music.
