Avant-metallers Faith No More were just about to release a perversely accurate reproduction of the Commodores’ smooth-soul classic “Easy.” Further underground, bands like Combustible Edison and the Cocktails delved into lounge music with varying levels of irony. Nirvana, on their way to global megastardom at the time, loved to confuse interviewers by calling out ABBA as one of their main influences. After all, this was the dawning of the Age of Irony, and winkingly embracing soft 70s styles was becoming a thing among heavy-music-loving hipsters. Tarantino’s cheese-drenched picks managed to resonate with the zeitgeist, though. Using edge-free tunes like Blue Swede’s “Hooked On a Feeling,” Sandy Rogers’ “Fool For Love,” and, most notably, Stealers Wheel’s “Stuck In the Middle With You” seemed to not only run counter to prevailing trends, but raised middle fingers at popular notions of what constituted cool. Considering where music seemed headed at the time, Quentin Tarantino’s embrace of gooey AM radio cheese seems almost fantastically contrary.
Gangsta rap, grunge, industrial, and metal were all bubbling up from the underground, and even mainstream pop stars like Janet Jackson were starting to dabble in heavier sounds. In the early ‘90s, nearly every style of music across the pop spectrum was becoming harder and edgier. While films like “Until the End of the World” and “New Jack City” surveyed the cutting edge of sonic cool (and helped catalyze the hip-hop and alternative rock explosions that were about to reshape the face of popular music), “Reservoir Dogs” was a gleeful romp through pop’s tackiest era: the age of soft rock.

The same year, Wim Wenders commissioned a who’s who of alternative music heroes to compose original music for “Until the End of the World”–possibly the first original soundtrack to become more popular than the movie that inspired it.īut even in the middle of a wave of influential, idiosyncratic soundtracks, “Reservoir Dogs” stood apart. 1991’s “Boyz n the Hood” and “New Jack City” brought gangsta rap to the big screen.
Boomer nostalgia–still bankable nearly a decade after 1983’s megasmash soundtrack to the Big Chill–reigned in the Hollywood mainstream, but a growing number of indie and genre movies were relying on music to help them carve out new cinematic identities. In the early 90s, movie soundtracks began developing an increased cultural cache that would make the decade a golden age for the soundtrack format. “Reservoir Dogs” didn’t sound like anything else in theaters either.

At a time when multiplexes were overrun with cornball comedies, action franchises, and the painfully earnest first wave of American indie cinema, Quentin Tarantino delivered a gang of postmodern gangsters who dressed like refugees from the “Rat Pack” era and spent their free time engaging in long, wordy dissections of pop cultural detritus. When “Reservoir Dogs” hit theaters in 1992, no other movie looked or felt like it.
