Frequently asked questions

Should the birthday person control the music?

It helps to let them set the tone early, then open the queue to guests for the rest of the party.

Can guests mix pop, R&B, and electro-pop from the 2000s?

Yes — there's no restriction on sub-genre; guests suggest whatever throwback they remember, and you (or the room, with voting) decide what plays.

Is 2000s music a safe choice for most crowds?

Generally yes — it's recent enough that most adult guests recognize the biggest hits, while still feeling distinctly nostalgic.
