2010s Wedding Songs: It’s Time To Shut Up And Dance
Whether it’s “Gangnam Style”, “Feel it Still”, or “Blurred Lines”, the 2010s had a happy and upbeat sound. Meghan thinks it’s “all about the bass,” Pharrell wants you to know that the sun can take a break, and Chris Stapleton’s saying “You’re as sweet as strawberry wine.”
The 2010s aren’t about a particular genre — it’s about fun, hope, and a bit of danger.
