What kind of prom exists in the Riverdale world? A show that uses iPhones, but characters (ahem, the Blossom family) use Brownie cameras from the 1900s to take photos?
Well, it looks like Riverdale gave us all the 90s feels this time. With Cheryl Blossom and Toni Topaz named the Prom Queens, they danced to Mazzy Star's Fade Into You, before all hell broke loose and the Talking Heads' Psycho Killer took over. (Totally harshing on the theme of this post, but you know, Riverdale isn't always the most consistent show. They couldn't pick a song from Scream or I Know What You Did Last Summer?)
DISCLAIMER: All of the prom scenes aren't on YouTube yet, so I found music videos instead.
Song #1: Kiss Me - Sixpence None the Richer
A classic prom song. If you're not going to prom withFreddie Prinze Jr.JugheadArchie (state your fave here), are you even going? Fun fact: My Riverdale dream prom date is FP Jones.
Song #2: Closer to Free - Bodeans
I had to laugh at this one. "Closer to free" is one step closer to graduation and adulthood for the gang, but this song was also the theme song for Party of Five! Young Matthew Fox was pretty hot. (Apparently he's a mess now? Please confirm/deny in the comments.)
Song #3: The World I Know - Collective Soul
Have kids these days even heard of Collective Soul? I doubt it. But the vibe of the song paints a pretty good picture of whatever impending doom is about to happen on the show. (See the clip above the cut.)

ONTD, do you still watch this show? Would a soundtrack such as this lure you back in?
