About This Quiz

Oops... We did it again! We're dropping another quiz meant to prove whether you're the ultimate '90s fan like you claim to be!

When you think back to the music of the '90s, you're probably fangirling or fanboying over the boy band movement. Groups like Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, and 98 Degrees came with their harmonies and dance moves.

Before you fall into the choreography of "Bye, Bye, Bye," who could forget the best-selling female group of all time, Spice Girls? This pop group got their roots in England but went on to take the entire world by storm!

While we love all of the groups, we have to give the solo artists their props! The '90s also brought the immersion of the pop princesses! How could you forget Britney Spears dancing in a uniform or Christina Aguilera's "Genie in a Bottle?" 

The decade also brought about the rise of Latin stars like Jennifer Lopez and Ricky Martin. Cher had you believing in life after love, and you were "MMMBop"ing to the tune of three brothers.

The '90s was a huge and iconic decade in pop music, but could you make it as a pop star? Were you just a fan or would we find you singing all the lyrics on a stage? Let's find out what kind of '90s pop fan you are!
