In all the chatter about Captain Marvel, one aspect of the film simply isn't getting discussed enough: the fact that it's the first 21st superhero movie to be a period piece to be specifically set in the 1990s. This is cool for several reasons. Not only does this subtly reference the fact that Samuel L. Jackson was totally the shit in the '90s, but it's also rad for those of us teenagers to remember a simpler time of Blockbuster Video and the last decade where people really listened to songs on the radio.


The best part of this Captain Marvel nostalgia fest is the soundtrack. Featuring '90s mega-hits like TLC's "Waterfalls," Nirvana's "Come As You Are," and No Doubt's "I'm Just a Girl," the soundtrack also has some deeper cuts like Elastica's "Connection," and R.E.M.'s "Crush With Eyeliner." In the same way that the first Guardians of the Galaxy "Awesome Mix" celebrated the '70s, the Captain Marvel soundtrack crushes on the '9os real hard. (Let's also try to remember how strange this "Whatta Man" Salt N' Pepper lyric is: "A body like Arnold and a Denzel face." Would we want to meet such a chimera in real life?)

Disney has released the orchestral score of the film (composed by Pinar Toprak) but you can't actually buy a physical version of the soundtrack featuring all the great grunge, hip-hop and pop '90s hits. But don't worry! There's an Apple playlist (above) that has all the big '90s songs mixed in with the new score. Come as you are. Listen to it now and have a better day.
