Spice Girls

[Colin]

Their impact for a girl group is truly unmatched.

I wonder what a properly produced BLACKPINK cover of “Wannabe” would sound like, they sound great with the vocals already.

'I was listening to them on the radio and vining with them'

 

[Manjobee]

Trust me you'd still hear their songs on televisions and radios these days where I live. Asian countries are like that.

"I was listening to the radio a lot and then their song came out".

Methinks they are fibbing.

 

[Manjobee]

hi

"I was listening to the radio a lot and then their song came out".

Methinks they are fibbing.

Maybe they meant Headlines.

 

[~Paul~]

hi

Maybe they meant Headlines.

It's the only possible truth.

Anyone else use Spice Girls as a marker for old & young?

Whenever someone younger than 28 tells me their birth year, I immediately think “Ah well you won’t remember the Spice Girls then”

I was born in 1994 but am reliably informed that my 2-year old self bopped along in 1996 but I only have memories of them from late 1997/1998. I’m probably amongst the youngest people who has actual memories from the original Spice phenomenon.

Imagine Holler being your first Spice Girls memory. We all know it’s a colossal bop but talk about arriving to the party after everyone’s gone home.

Yeah I was 1993 and I can remember literally all of it, it’s crazy! Some of my first memories are playing SPICE on my stereo and turning my old baby bath upside down to make a stage and dance (or point, cos I was always Posh)

Sorry but they sound horrible...

That being said I'm glad their legacy is being more appreciated these days, although it makes it all the more frustrating the girls are doing nothing to make the most of it.

 

[Colin]

I was born in '96 and I was aware of all of their songs (used to watch Istanbul & OHOGP all day, every day) so it's definitely plausible they knew of the group.

Yes! I always classify people I know/ meet as being pre or post Spice Girls.

Just seeing how old some of the Spice Girls children are makes me feel ancient!

 

[discoteca]

So happy to have lived through the entire Spice mania of the late 90s as a tween: getting Spice on cassette for Christmas 1996; wearing out the Istanbul concert tape from recreating it live in my living room with friends; seeing the girls' faces on literally everything whenever I went to the shop; finding out that I didn't like Pepsi after all.

Good times.

I know.
We are really starting to get into the Spice Girls being Grand Mama's territory.

 

[Vasilios]

Why is SOICE giving me Bailey J Mills skit

 

[_Gru_]

Its frustrating that it always has to be Wannabe.

I adore Wannabe but it does overshadow their iconic discography to an annoying extent.

Spice Up Your Life deserves a new renaissance of popularity.

 

[SupersonicBionic]

It really was incredible. They were LITERALLY everywhere, you really couldn’t go one day without seeing or hearing them, radio, tv, billboards, posters, several aisles in shops!

The Spice up Your Life video wasn’t far off the mark with the depiction!

As a fan it was joyous.

The fact soon there will be twinks who where 1 when Just Dance dropped...
