    My job plays the classic rock station every morning. I took so much psychic damage when I heard Gorillaz on it the other day.

    I recently saw a meme calling Linkin Parks Numb an oldie. I remember waiting for that album to come out.

    I feel like there’s something more to Classic rock than just age, it’s a style, You know what I mean? Like a Deep Purple song will be classic rock no matter what year it comes out in, but a Limp Bizkit track should never fall into that category no matter how old it gets.

    They’ve moved further now. I heard a classic rock station play Living Dead Girl. I like the song and all, but it hurt to hear in that context.

      A local “oldies” station changed their motto from “The best of 60s, 70s and 80s” to “The best of 80s, 90s and 00s”. I don’t consider anything from the 00s an oldie. Not even the mid 90s.

        When I was a kid in the 80s, the oldies stations were playing stuff from the 50s.

        Labels like oldies and classic rock were only ever valid as radio formats - they’re not genres unto themselves.

    I was a young boy that had big plans

    Now I’m just another shitty old man

    I don’t have fun, and I hate everything

    The world owes me, so fuck you

      The local station that plays Little Richard refers to itself as the “golden oldies” station.

    Over a decade ago I heard one of the DJs on SiriusXM refer to Red Hot Chili Peppers and Blink-182 as “nostalgia bands”
