I loosely divide the 90s between grunge, gangsta rap, and boy band/Britney Spears.

i debated between this, killing in the name of and radio song by rem. you can't have a song define the 90s that doesnt incorporate hip hop in some way.

Speaking of end-of-decade songs, I almost went with The Next Episode.

Sabotage was the second song that came to my mind re: the 90s. I think that's a great pick.

I would say Jeremy by Pearl Jam for the 90s.
Love that jam.

Good suggestion. Beck has that ability and especially in this song, to do that thing where he incorporates all these musical elements but makes it highly listenable while delivering a tongue in cheek message that sums up the vibe. This is a great one, and there are probably a few more from Odelay that also fit the bill.

Black Hole Sun was the one that sprang to mind and inspired this thread. But I wasn't confident in that answer. I think Sabotage is right.
