Video Topic: Music

This is the music video lane inside Smells Like Gen X — chart countdowns, radio damage, one-hit weirdness, song rabbit holes, and the exact tracks that still own way too much of your internal hard drive.

Use this page when you want music-first nostalgia instead of pinballing around the broader video archive like a mall rat with no supervision.
