Oh yeah 'vibe slop' is an absolute anger here, particularly given the specifics of the request.  Any retro work really.  While I am looking at a lot of hits and such of the time, most won't be used.  Catching the vibe not to slop.

What I'm feeling here is something almost documentary in tone, just in a horror setting.  Of the times more than any song or period fling, that vibe.

We were different then.

And that, ideally, will be what this is about on that documentary side.  We know we were different, but why ?  The Oklahoma bombing was that year.  So was Clueless.  DOOM just came out last year, the world's first truly 3D game.

Windows 95 ... so many people's happy system, didn't get into computers til later myself.  P.  S.  One ... PSX.  Playstation.

Toy Story.  Disney Afternoon.  Duck Tales.  Power Rangers.  DC Vertigo.  We were different.  And that's interesting.  No cell phone.  The internet was new, and it made that sound.  All this.  All of it.  

You reading me right here.  All of it.

1995 was the precipice into that era and no cheese-ball song specific will tell that tale.  Not even this one.

But out of all of them, this is the one I might use for the closing credits.  And I might skip 99 balloons, it's out of era.  If they want to edit that in later they can and will.  As far as era feel good triggers, this one's got it covered and I agree any more will over do.

Otherwise we'll be sticking with the prior soundtrack styles which were accidentally of that era already, from a school which in of itself deserves a documentary.  A brief place in time but just say OJ Simpson and that is what people will recognize, even among those yet to born.

Flashback for your brain pan, closing credits when the good guys (homicidal cheerleader cult) win.
