This week on Educate Your Earbuds, we’re going full nostalgia trip — but make it TikTok-core. From disco bops to indie deep cuts, old songs are suddenly everywhere again, and we’re here to unpack why your “For You” page sounds like a throwback playlist.

I’m sharing my own picks for vintage tracks that deserve a viral revival, plus some surprising comebacks I found after spiraling through YouTube rabbit holes and music articles. We’ll talk the random trends that make decades-old songs chart again, the most unexpected revivals you might have missed, and which classics could be the next big TikTok audio.

Whether you’re a Gen Z discovering these hits for the first time or a millennial reliving the glory days, this episode proves that good music never really dies — it just waits for the algorithm to notice.
