Getting old.

[Hera]

My husband and I took a mini-vacation to see some of his relatives up in Yulee, FL (N. of Jacksonville). We were in the mood for some classic rock and so we turn on the station. First song was from Van Halen, Second song was Journey and the third song....

 

"Learn to Fly" by Foo Fighers

 

 

Fourth song...

 

"Rape Me" by Nirvana

 

 

FIFTH SONG....

 

"You oughta know" by Alanis Morrisette

 

...wtf?

 

I remember when Alanis was on "You Can't Do That On Television" back in the day.

 

I'm about to be 25 ffs and they're already considering that crap CLASSIC?!?!

[Weirdy]

It's classic as in it was a big hit more than ten years ago classic.

 

Speaking of classic, I don't listen to much recent stuff anymore. Usually I'll leech a new ebm compilation, but that's it.

"Learn to Fly" by Foo Fighers

 

That is classic. I get high off that song alone.

[The-Ice-Man]

The year Aladdin came out on video it was labeled a Disney classic. This happens everywhere now. Classic doesn't mean much anymore.

the oldies / classic rock decades have shifted.

 

50's early 60's used to be oldies now oldies is 70's with a sprinkling of late 60's

 

classic rock used to be 70's and early 80's now its 80's and 90's with a sprinkling of 70's.

 

It sucks. but that's what iPods are for. It even happened in the country genre, classic country used to be 60's and 70's with a bit of early 80's now classic country is lucky to reach back past '85.

It sucks for me musically, I live in the 50's through to the 70's. there isn't one station that plays anything I like.

[Inky]

I am 35. but my music tastes runs the 40's through to the 80's.

the 90's and today are a black hole for music by in large.

Well if you look up the definition of classic...

 

of the first or highest quality, class, or rank: a classic piece of work.

serving as a standard, model, or guide

modeled upon or imitating the style or thought

of or adhering to an established set of artistic or scientific standards or methods

basic; fundamental

of enduring interest, quality, or style

of literary or historical renown

traditional or typical

definitive

 

apparently we just relate classic to old. But it isn't so.

[Skythe]

I-95 (95.5 FM) use to be the classic rock station where I live but somewhere in the last year they've change to now being just a regular rock station to compete with the other local rock station.

Even if you go by that definition, most of those songs are NOT classic.

[Krosigrim]

Well it's only based on others opinion anyway. Misscatigorization too. When I burned Metallica Black album to my 360, it had the songs under rock. It's Metal, which IS a form of rock, but I generally dislike rock. And besides, Rock... the title sounds so stupid. Yea makes me think of hair metal.
