Choice of genre
As a little kid, the majority of the music I was subjected to came from the CD collection of my parents, of which I'm extremely grateful cos my parents' music taste is awesome! Thanks to them, I now have an extensive knowledge of classic rock, blues and metal, stuff that a kid in the 90s would frankly know little of. But, alas, I still came from a different generation compared to my parents and I also wanted to explore more contemporary genres to be more in touch with people of my age. Commercial pop bounced on me like rubber, but eurodance instead stuck like glue.

Soundtracks of many birthday parties and holidays abroad, the 90s dance scene and its many peculiar, never replicated subgenres defined my childhood: I can close my eyes while listening to Corona and I'm taken back to Ibiza in 1998; Aqua's tunes were on during every car ride and event at school; Eiffel 65 unmistakingly remind me of that once-in-a-lifetime summer in the Elba island. Many, many more tracks remind me instead of home, of the computer room, of the time I was dreaming of having a site of my own.

The first ever CD of my very own was a copy a friend gave to me of their eurodance compilation in 1999 and I would listen to it over and over while playing with table layouts, HEX colours, animated GIFs and basic HTML in Microsoft FrontPage. I did not have resources to bring those pages online (arguably, for the better!) but simply seeing the previews on my home browser brought me joy, the tunes from the CD becoming forever associated to the Internet I was browsing during that time.

So eurodance, specifically late 90s/early 2000s eurodance, became the signature genre for browsing pages like Suta Raito, Valley Of Nightmares and Neopets; the dream that one day it would have become the soundtrack of my own virtual corner.
Here we are nowadays, with the dream fullfilled; the list below is a curated selection of tracks that most scream "classic web" to me: they bring me to a time where the net was wild, exciting, simple, and made by everyone who contributed to it. Neocities is all about bringing that philosophy back, so I hope you can get the same feeling from this playlist as well!
