Johnny FiacconiGUEST
But like you said, there's certain little chunks of age demographics that also grew up with this music as well.
Johnny FiacconiGUEST
Like myself, for example, I was born in 1987, and we grew up with all movies like Back to the Future and That Thing You Do! and La Bamba.
Johnny FiacconiGUEST
There was, like, a '90s nostalgia that brought back all this music.
Johnny FiacconiGUEST
So it's like, yeah, we all grew up with these tunes too, and we found that people our age also know these songs as well.
