So, I'm sitting here listening to 5 Seconds of Summer's EP (if you listen to the radio, you've heard their single "She Looks So Perfect" 500 times by now) and it just hit me how much Pop Punk takes me back to my childhood. It's not a genre I absolutely love, but between Sum 41, Simple Plan, Good Charlotte and Blink 182 being huge when I was young, Pop Punk never fails to take me back.
FAN, what bands and/or genres do that for you?

90s Pop and Nu Metal.
Anytime I hear a Backstreet Boys, Spice Girls, Korn, Limp Bizkit... Etc. song, I remember a kid who wore way too much denim(not like he had a say in the matter) and was extremely jealous of the kids with better Pokémon cards.

3rd wave ska, pop punk, Miami bass, and "umph tsss umph tsss" dance music (I.e. What is Love, Waiting For Tonight, etc.)
Reggaeton and the "snap" subgenre of hip hop take me back to 2004 - 2007 when I was finishing up high school/starting college.

Basically anything that was on MTV in 1999 takes me straight back. That's a super nostalgic year for me for some reason. Particularly "Beautiful Stranger" by Madonna.
Like CATCH_US said, 3rd wave ska takes me way back to. I listened to tons of it in 8th grade and my freshman year.
Also, Puff Daddy/Notorious B.I.G./Ma$e's "Mo Money Mo Problems" takes me right back to the summer of '97.

Whenever Weezer is on I start wanting to look for my old Magic Cards and boot up Doom.

New Jack Swing make me nostalgic for when I was around 9-10 years old. Which is weird, considering when I was that age, I was listening to Metallica and Kiss.

Early to mid 90's West Coast gangsta rap always puts a smile on my face.
I love being at a bar when someone plays some Nsync or Backreet Boys because everyone in damn building sings along and it's glorious.

Particularly "Beautiful Stranger" by Madonna. You name one of the songs from era of Madonna that I hate.  For me, it will always be New Jack Swing, House, and early 90s pop and R&B music for me. |

90s pop and dance. Takes me right back to the skating rink and trying to be the 10th caller for my local radio station's Top 8 at 8 contest.
I can think of two albums in particular that always get the nostalgia juice flowing:
John Prine's The Missing Years. This will sound extremely weird, but I always associate this album with when I first started getting into pro wrestling. It just has this early-90s feel to it, and whenever I put it on I think back to buying my first issue of WWE Magazine at Dunham's Discount Sports (the September '92 issue with Papa Shango on the cover) or watching my first PPV (SummerSlam '92).
Weird Al's Greatest Hits, Volume 2. I'm not sure why Volume 2 does it--could be because I bought that one first and thus listened to it more--but this collection puts me right back in seventh grade. It always makes me think of reading Nintendo Power and playing the N64.

While I grew out of them, I'll occasionally throw on Korn or Limp Bizkit and it instantly makes me think of 7th and 8th grade. The days of JNCO jeans, stupid haircuts, and wallet chains.
Country music from the 80's and 90's definitely takes me back. Growing up in the South, I hear all of that where ever I went.
Anytime I hear George Jones I think of eating ice cream at my grandmother's house when I'd stay with her during the Summer. She loved Mr. Jones and would play his records on a constant loop.

So many, honestly..... it's mostly songs or albums.... Stone Temple Pilots "Core" and Type O Negative's "Bloody Kisses" take me back to freshman year of high school.... The Refreshments "Fizzy, Fuzzy, Big and Buzzy" takes me to my first summer with a PC and Internet.... Def Leppard "Vault" takes me back to later that same year, sitting online, chatting with people on Powwow.... Korn/Kid Rock/Orgy take me back to my second year of college.... man, the more I think of it, the more memories I could list.
I'm a slave to nostalgia so I can be taken back with almost anything as I try to encapsulate everything in a given time frame to make it memorable.

Anything boy band and nu-metal related takes me back to high school. Incidentally, so do the Sex Pistols, because they remind me of an incident where the punk kids in my class confronted a friend of mine for wearing a Sid Vicious t-shirt solely because he thought he was hot. I listened to their stuff that evening out of curiosity and got hooked.

Smashing Pumpkins' Siamese Dream and Radiohead's The Bends are definitely two albums that take me back to my early teenage years.
Just about any alternative music of the time really. I by chance heard Only Happy When It Rains from Garbage a week or so ago and it had the same effect.

Any time I hear Ever Fallen In Love by the Buzzcocks, I'm 9 years old and in the family car listening to it on tape on the way to pick up a used SNES from a seller in the next town over, in the days before eBay. |

Britpop/ Indie Rock: Blur/Oasis/Pulp/Supergrass etc takes me back to the 90's from my transition from Primary to Secondary School. Nu Metal: Slipknot/Korn/Linkin Park/Papa Roach/Limp Bizkit etc takes me back to my teen years early 2000's Stuff like Pantera/Type O Negative/Children of Bodom brings me to my early 20's good times  |
