The ’90s are back at a London high school this week as a group of students is taking the stage to perform grunge, rock and pop hits from the iconic decade.
‘Smells Like the 90s’ is a musical tribute by the Musical Theatre students at Clarke Road Secondary School. The show features hits from bands like Metallica, Spice Girls, TLC, and, of course, Nirvana. It runs from Thursday to Saturday.
“It’s funny cause walking around, you see a lot of people in cargo pants,” said music teacher Kevin Kennedy. “A lot of the trends of the 90s are coming back — and if you talk to people, they’re listening to the ’90s still.”
The show helps to deepen the respect for the ’90s among students, he said, and to learn about the decade of music and changes that took place. For some students, it’s expanding their playlist, he said.
