The happiest moments of my childhood include seeing my sister for the first time and getting to watch the premiere of “The Cheetah Girls: One World.” Let me set the scene: I was a 7-year-old nerd with a broken arm, missing teeth and baby pink glasses. But when the Cheetah Girls released their final film, this time set in India, I felt like a woman. It was the most wonderful, emotional, magical phenomenon to witness — a revolutionary American girl group exploring my home country and culture. Bursts of energy charged throughout my body. My smiles and giggles grew. This is my failed attempt in describing what it means to be seen and heard in an American movie for the first time. To those who cannot relate, set a personal record for a mile run and then devour the greasiest New York-style pizza. That’s the feeling. It’s rewarding and fulfilling to see yourself on screen.

Throughout the canon of modern music history, there are certain legendary years that stand out among the rest. I am not talking about the years that functionally changed music, such as 1964 which both debuted the Moog synthesizer and had Bob Dylan go electric. Nor am I talking about the years that symbolically changed music, like in 1959 on “the day the music died” as Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J. P. "The Big Bopper'' Richardson's plane crashed in an Iowan field. What I am discussing is something much sweeter and much less tragic: the years where music flourished. These are the years where good music – really good music – was like wine in that place where wine flows like water. These are the 1969s, the 1991s and the 2003s where for one reason or another, every major artist just happened to decide all within the same year to release groundbreaking work. These are years that future music enthusiasts look back at longingly, chin notched in palms, and say, “I wish I were there for that.” During these moments, music history was made every other Friday. And I, humble Collegian columnist and “wish I were there for that” music-enthusiast, declare that 2021 was such a year.
