"Scream 2" is a 1997 horror film directed by Wes Craven and written by Kevin Williamson, serving as a sequel to the 1996 film "Scream." Set in the fictional town of Windsor College, the movie follows Sidney Prescott (played by Neve Campbell), who is now a college student trying to move past the traumatic events of the first film.

However, a new Ghostface killer emerges, targeting Sidney and her friends with a series of chilling murders that mimic the pattern of the previous film's killings. The film cleverly blends elements of horror, mystery, and dark comedy, while also commenting on the nature of sequels and the clichés of the horror genre. The narrative builds on the original's self-referential style, with characters who are aware of the 'rules' of horror movies, adding depth and irony to the suspenseful and terrifying sequences.

The soundtrack of "Scream 2" blends alternative rock, post-grunge, and hip-hop tracks to reflect the late '90s zeitgeist. The eclectic mix of music not only complements the film's edgy and suspenseful tone but also connects with the younger, college-aged characters and audience. 

Artists featured on the soundtrack include Dave Matthews Band, Sugar Ray, and Collective Soul, offering a blend of mainstream and indie tracks. The music is used strategically throughout the film, sometimes to heighten the tension in suspenseful scenes, and at other times to provide relief or underscore the emotional aspects of the story. The soundtrack became quite popular following the film's release, echoing the success of the movie and further embedding itself into the cultural fabric of the 1990s.
