Read on for the Paste Staff’s favorite song/advertisement moments from the last 20 years. Throughout most of the 2000s, however, we discovered commercial songs the good ol’ fashioned way.
Now we have Shazam, and if we hear a cool tune we don’t have to quickly memorize lyrics so we can later plug them into Google and find the song at hand. For many people in the MP3 generation, brands like Apple and Volkswagen introduced us to hip new songs by artists who would later blow up-or even become our favorites.
Point being: commercials, they’re a dying breed! While we’re not going to cry over a loss of distracting advertisements, it is worth looking back through the history of commercials-the last two decades in particular-and thinking about which ones felt culturally significant. These days, more and more of us are cutting cable and switching over to streaming-only when it comes to our entertainment avenues-and if a particular streaming outlet has ads, more often than not we’re inclined to pay the extra few dollars a month not to have to endure them. However, they’re becoming a scarcity in many people’s lives. Typically, they’re just an annoyance-a distraction from whatever it is you’re actually trying to consume.
