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.
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.

one of the internet radio stations I listen too changed their tagline from “Best of the ’80s” to “Gen-X Hits”

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.

Now I'm just another shitty old man
I don't have fun, and I hate everything
The world owes me, so fuck you

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

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.

Shouldn't classic rock be something like Little Richard?
sundray@lemmus.org · 5 pts · 3d
The local station that plays Little Richard refers to itself as the "golden oldies" station.

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