Set in 1993, 1994, and 1995 [1], Freeform's Cruel Summer [2] delightfully delivers when it comes to the nostalgia factor. In addition to chunky platform shoes and grungy plaid fits [3], the thrilling series brings us back to the '90s with an incredible soundtrack for the pop-rock inclined. From The Cranberries' "Zombie" to Mazzy Star's "Fade Into You," the music definitely captures the show's stew of emotions, which range from unadulterated teen angst to fluffy puppy love as Jeanette Turner's story unfolds. So get your headphones ready, and pretend that you're headbanging to your Walkman — we've rounded up all of the songs from Cruel Summer in one convenient place ahead!
