Yeah, I was briefly disappointed to find that the rock station I listened to like 15 years ago had become a classic station when I forgot my phone at home and decided to just do my errand without it. Until they played mostly the same music as they did before, just without what would have been new releases at the time.
Didn't really feel old from it because I'm already used to 90s music being called classics. Since those are both 90s bands, just be aware that "classic rock" has edged into the 00s already and will soon include the new music that would have played back when I was listening to it.
If the station even lasts that long, who even listens to radio still? Is it just people like me who temporarily found themselves without their usual entertainment device?
I was listening to Hybrid Theory on a old CD player when I was 5, and for years Dad would often as not have the classic rock/heavy metal channels playing in the car.

Listen. If your belting out this song and your kids aren’t singing along, get new kids

There was a period a few years ago, when my kid was like, 3...we were driving somewhere and I asked him if he knew where he was.
His response? "You're in the jungle, baby".

Basically. Main-character-ass numetal and metalcore are like teenage crack in a pair of headphones.

Over a quarter of a century old, Crawling by Linkin Park was released in April 2, 2001.

The equivalent in 2001 would be saying Rebel Rebel by Bowie was a classic.

You know what works every single time I get in any car and never disconnects or eats my battery? FM radio.
Buddahriffic@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 55d
It's analog, so it doesn't really disconnect (at first), but quality sure does drop off.
