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.

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

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 is was that‽”
That’s heavy!
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.
