When I was a kid in the 70s, Grease was huge, glamorizing 1950s "oldies" music like it was from some long-ago era. That's only 20 years. That's like glamorizing music from 2006 today. The 90s are definitely "classic rock" now. Trippy.

Always remember: talking about 90's grunge bands today is the same as talking about the early Beatles in 1996 💀

I don’t mind because I see more kids wearing clothes with “classic” bands like Sublime and Soundgarden and Nirvana and Biggie than bands that were “classics” when I was in high school

People thought I was weird for liking Zeppelin in the 90s.

Red Hot Chili Peppers, the band, has existed for 44 years.

I'm reminded of this every time I spot Flea in Back to The Future (Needles), which itself is 41 years old.

My daughter has a vintage clothing store.

Early 2000s is considered vintage.

Just pull the life support plug now please.

That was me watching that Apple TV show Invasion. In the first episode, a kid has headphones on and someone asks what he’s listening to. He says something like “oh just some classic music”… and it’s Green Day..

But then I remember Dookie came out over 30 years ago and I cry again lol

A kid once said to me “well you were born in the 1900s…”

blink-182 is dadrock now. has been for a few years actually

She's breakdancing, as is tradition

I'm 2023 I turned on the radio for the first time in years and the DJ says "now for a throwback song, Thrift Shop by Macklemore" and that made me (1) feel old because that song came out while I was in college, and (2) realize the song was over 10 years old at that point.

I was there when Siamese Dream was released. I was there, man.

Like ten full years ago I heard someone refer to Chevelle as "dad rock" and I think I aged twenty years in the span of about five minutes.

When did Vampire Weekend become "classic rock."

I'm in my 40s, and last time when I was at McD I saw some 20-somethings sitting at their table, looking at the liner notes of an AC/DC CD they had no doubt grabbed from the second hand store one block over.

I almost went over to say "oh wow, am I ever happy to see you kids enjoy classical music, eh?" but I didn't, because this is Finland and talking to random people at McD is considered weird, of course.

What was the PS2 like?

Not a teenager. If you've kept up at all on music and listened to the stuff we did in the 90s, yeah it holds up great, but holy shit does a lot of it sound old in comparison. Like bowling for soup's 1985 released in 2005 was only 20 years, but it has been 21 years since 2005. Time goes on, the pile of backlog gets taller.

Watch, read, listen, do as much as you can in this life you have, it's the only one you get. Even if you're religious and believe in an afterlife... You don't know you're right, you have to take it on faith. So hedge a little bit and live your damn life like there's no afterlife.

...That doesn't mean fucking dead deer, though.

90s? what about 00s? It's been 26 years since the turn of the century.

I mean, yeah, it's retro music now. And in my opinion is best played on a retro Sony Discman with appropriate retro headphones. I mean, how else can I best enjoy my For Squirrels CD or Blues Traveler or Local H or... you get the point!

Only problem is the fact my discman is a battery hog.

When I was in high school, the local classic rock station played hits from the 60s and 70s. Now it plays Nickelback.

Some songs just are classics the second they are released

I'm 40 and I also do now, just to piss off my peers that turned into their parents, and to remind myself to keep exploring new music so that I don't become one of these people that get stuck in time and unable to relate to newer generations.

I like '90s music (it's my childhood decade) but I also dislike people who act like things "back in their day" are objectively the best, because I heard all that shit before from old people when I was a kid.

I once heard two tweens in line at target talking and one said what’s your guilty music pleasure?? And she said “ don’t laugh at me but I like matchbox 20 they’re really old my dad likes them “ LMAO I died inside

They were playing Viva La Vida in the grocery store. I'm like... Okay, grocery store, I get you're trying to "cater to my demographic" since we're the "new olds" who now regularly shop for produce, but who the fuck thought Viva La Vida was a good "millennial shopper" music choice for picking out produce and scrutinizing cereal boxes? I died inside. Sacrilegious.

Just a reminder that Super Mario Brothers was released closer to World War II than to today.

When I ask Spotify to play classic rock and it plays stuff from THIS century.

when the local club has throwback night and it's just 2000s music

Same feeling when you hear your favourite song come on at the grocery store.

I've accepted hearing rhcp on the classic rock radio station. You can be old, it's ok. You can't fight time, but you can damn sure remain immature AF!

I don't understand why this is an issue. I refer to it as classics too. It's all music from my childhood as I'm from the 80s. Modern music can not compete.

Help! I've fallen and I can't get up!

I, for one, like my gray hair. I feel wise.

Hell, I'm just glad some of the 90's stuff managed to make it to that status.

Smells Like Teen Spirit is 35 years old. It's was incredibly hot at the time, but it felt like a gibberish song. I figured by the time I hit my 50's/60's it would just have been looked at as some crazy bullshit.

"My dad listens to that stuff"

Such savagery

Lmao, I once had a group of students excitedly tell me about this retro band they found, "the backstreet boys". I wasn't even 30.

The worst part?

We are not teenagers anymore

Pokemon Red for Gameboy is technically a vintage videogame now.

They just need to stop playing Alice in Chains in the grocery store.

Cause you are young!

No, early 2000s are the classics

I didn't realize my age could physically hurt

Oldies used to be 50-60s music. Then they made 70-80s oldies and stopped playing Billy Holly altogether. I stopped listening to the radio around that time since the halcyon days of AM were over.

Halo 3 came out almost 20 years ago, so did Hatsume Miku
