Music, much like fashion, is constantly evolving, and not just in the realm of pop. Styles are reinvented every few years, with each genre having its golden era—be it the rock and roll of the 1950s, the disco craze of the 1970s, or the electronic beats of the 2000s. Beyond the genre, clues like the singer’s active years, the distinct quality of the voice recordings, or even the production of a music video (if one exists) can often hint at a song’s decade. Sometimes, it’s simply a matter of memory, recalling the time when a track was played endlessly everywhere. Now, it’s your turn to test your knowledge. In the quiz ahead, you’ll need to pinpoint the decade of origin for each song presented. Nail it 15 times in a row without slipping up, and you could secure a coveted spot on our champion leaderboard!
