After the first event in 1986, "Spring Break" proved to be a massive hit. For three years until 1989, the annual event took place in Daytona Beach before it began to move to different locations like Panama City Beach, and Cancun, Mexico. The appeal of the event came from the fact it combined regular people (although you arguably had to look a certain way to make it on camera) with celebrities like Carmen Electra and Ja Rule, all partying, having fun, wearing very skimpy clothing, and taking shots. It was essentially a parent's worst nightmare — MTV didn't shy away from filming anything, whether that was people drunkenly kissing each other or someone literally throwing up.

The show reached its peak in the 1990s and continued to be popular throughout the early 2000s.  According to Yahoo!life, the show is sometimes brought up on social media by those who were too young to attend at the time, which actual attendees find weird to think about. Speaking to the outlet in 2008 "Spring Break" attendee Greg Sherman shared, "I'm like, 'Oh my God, they're reminiscing and wishing they went to something that we actually went to' ... It does make me feel old at the same time."
