10 Songs You're Guaranteed To Hear In Every Bar, Ever
Certain things in this world are an absolute certainty; you can't wear white after Labor Day, nobody likes the tax man, and you're always going to hear absurdly loud music when drinking at a bar, usually played by a tone-deaf white dude with an acoustic guitar. In particular, these 10 songs seem to be on every bar's perpetual playlist.
If I hear one more douchebag with an acoustic guitar playing "Wonderwall" I'm gonna lose my mind.
It's not a night out unless a group of girls are shrieking along to "Livin' On A Prayer."
Or a bunch of drunken morons ruining Journey's "Don't Stop Believing."
Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" is played so often by random dudes in bars that I honestly had to look up who it was originally by.
The songs get even more ridiculous from here...
Fun fact: "Closing Time" is actually about a birth, not about getting kicked out of a bar.
Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar On Me" never fails to liven up a crowd, especially ones that were teens in the 80s...
Even if you're not in a country bar, you're almost guaranteed to hear Garth Brooks's "Friends In Low Places."
Does anyone actually still like Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama" outside of Alabama?
Pretty sure I can recite AC/DC's "You Shook My All Night Long" despite never hearing it outside of a bar.
If I never hear "Home For A Rest" again it'll be too damn soon.
What song did bars ruin for you?

Iconic Outfits From 90s Movies We Still Love Today
Although the grunge look pervaded the 1990s street fashion, 90s TV and culture, and seeped into haute couture, the decade's amazing films provided fabulous alternatives that managed to draw people away from grunge back to more refined, fashionable attire. As the COVID-19 pandemic sequestered most individuals and has caused a casualization of our wardrobes (50% of managers interviewed in a survey said their workers wear less formal clothing than they did five years ago), we can look back to these fabulous 1990s films for inspiration to rebuild our wardrobes for the re-opening of society now that we have a vaccine.
