Why old bollywood songs are beating new hits — And Gen Z can't get enough!

    Share on

In a digital world saturated with remixes and auto-tuned beats, old Bollywood songs are striking a new chord—this time, with Gen Z. From Lag Ja Gale to Gulabi Aankhen, classic tracks are flooding Instagram Reels, lo-fi playlists, and YouTube shorts.

But what’s sparking this retro revival?

It’s a mix of timeless melodies, soulful lyrics, and a craving for emotional depth. Legends like Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar, Mukesh, and Mohammed Rafi delivered songs that weren’t just music - they were poetry set to tune. These songs offer a nostalgic escape and a kind of sincerity many feel is missing in today’s hyper-commercial soundscape.

Streaming platforms, vintage aesthetics, and Bollywood’s own remakes have reintroduced these classics to younger audiences. Even Gen Z creators are sampling old songs for content, appreciating their richness and romanticism.

In a fast-scrolling world, old Bollywood music is a soothing pause -a reminder that sometimes, the best tunes are the ones that never fade.
