He didn’t play music of the era at the dance. He would go back to 1994 and play something from today. But music hasn’t really evolved since then, so nobody would be shocked. He’d end up doing some dance number while lip-syncing a studio written pop song.
Edit: ah you’re talking about when he first starts playing Chuck Berry with the band. I was thinking about the end of the performance when he slips into playing heavy metal and freaks everyone out.
if Back to the future was made today Marty would go back to 1994 and play smells like teen spirit at the high school dance
… actually wasn’t Kurt already dead? quick who was big in 97? Limp Bizkit?
Marty invents Insane Clown Posse at the prom?
Foo Fighters, Green Day, Weezer,
Damn it!!!.. Fuck you…
Mazzy Star - Fade Into You for the Earth Angel, ‘they have to kiss’ track.
Radiohead - Paranoid Android for the track that “really cooks” and goes off the rails.

He could go up there and do some Skrillex Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites or Eminem Godzilla. I’m certain everyone in 94 would be like, “Wtf was that‽”
That’s heavy!
That surely would have made for a different vibe…
