Without a doubt, I feel as though anyone who is college-aged right now feels a certain type of way when they hear songs from the 2000’s decade. A lot of times, it only takes the first few seconds of a song’s intro to take us back to a certain point in our lives. For me, I don’t think there is a better genre of music from the 2000s than what I call “Kohl’s music.” These are songs that I picture playing as I walked through Kohl’s with my mom in elementary school. These songs have such a certain vibe to them…happy… yet sad. I hope you see what I mean:
