- 4. Buddy Holly glasses, sweater weather, and a debut so mild it somehow burns forever.
- 5. The moment grunge crashed the party and said, “Here we are now, entertain us.”

- 10. Proof that even a literal child could cook circles around everyone else in the 1700s.
- 12. An album fueled by breakups, side-eyes, and enough drama to taste the heat decades later.
- 14. A debut that hit like cayenne—suddenly pop would never be mild again.
Down

- 3. A debut that hit hard, told the truth, and left hip-hop permanently spicier.
- 7. The era when side-swept bangs ruled and every radio station said “Baby” hourly.
- 8. A declaration of friendship, attitude, and a zig-a-zag-ahh energy that defined late-'90s pop.
