“Back to the 90s,” a hilarious parody of the 90s from artist/director Ben Giroux and indie hip-hop artist Jensen Reed, just dropped and JustJared.com has the exclusive premiere!
The video starts with the guys at a yard sale where a kid asks what a walkman is. When the kid puts in the headphones, he is transported into another generation and 90s babies are treated to their entire childhood in under five minutes.
Hairspray Live! star Garrett Clayton and songwriter Jared Lee join Ben and Jensen to form a Backstreet Boys-like boy band at one point in the video and there’s even a Britney Spears impersonator!
“Back to the 90s is an homage to the decade we grew up in. Through a completely original song, we highlight multiple genres of 90s music within the same track (including hip-hop, grunge, R&B, and boy bands). The project is a love letter to our childhoods, two years in the making,” Ben said in a statement. Jensen added, “The music video features throwback animation, Walkmans, bleached tips – we tried to make it as authentically 90s as possible. We think it’s going to be a hit with our generation.”
Make sure to see the album cover parodies in the gallery!
