I often argue that a key component for a song from the late 90s to get revived by kids on the Internet, is whether it was used in a Rock Band game, which would have given people access to it's multi-tracks to be used in remixes/mashups/hilarious memes etc. And "You Get What You Give" never showed up in a Rock Band game.

Or GTA. I've lost track of the number of the times I've encountered some comment like "I've been a huge fan of Boyz II Men ever since hearing them on Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas!"

Tony Hawk Pro Skater (especially the third one) was pretty big for this in the mid 00's - a bunch of classmates got into The Ramones because "Blitzkrieg Bop" was on the soundtrack

vice city definitely helped with the millennial love of 80s music. I heard a lot of big hits for the first time on there

basically all the punk/indie/alt rock shit I ever liked ultimately stems from me discovering bad religion through tony hawk 2

The Tony Hawk series did a similar thing for me but with rap instead

Having never seen Scarface, I want to thank whatever GTA it was that introduced me to multiple cheese-ass songs from the Scarface soundtrack.

I like to drive my Nissan 370z while hearing this song through the night, it makes me feel like I’m playing NFS Carbon.

One of my favorite songs is "Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man" (and this live performance in particular) – nearly every comment relates to "GTA: San Andreas."

lol. I wish I liked video games so I could discover music this way. Hell, it seems fun!
