90s? what about 00s? It’s been 26 years since the turn of the century.
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.
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
my cousin refused to play MGSV because he doesn’t play “old ass” games. i felt personally offended.
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.
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.
blink-182 is dadrock now. has been for a few years actually
Luckily dead Kennedy’s is too obscure to become classic 🤣
blink 182 has always been dad rock lmao.
Converge is Dad rock. Fucking Dillinger Escape Plan is too. Thank God our Dad rock isn’t just yacht rock, that shit blows.

hey put some respect on jimmy buffetts name
Nobody likes you when you’re 53.
I didn’t realize my age could physically hurt
The air has gotten sharper, that is the only explanation.
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.
Anyone listening to 90s music today will miss out on an important element that is lost today: the CD skips.
Had to look up CD skips to be sure we were thinking of the same thing. Pretty sure you can emulate that using a similar setup to what I have: a portable LG USB disc drive and VLC. IDK if this is a me issue specifically, but VLC loves to cause the first few seconds of any song on CD to skip when using that portable disk drive of mine.
She’s breakdancing, as is tradition
She looks sick af!
Always remember: talking about 90’s grunge bands today is the same as talking about the early Beatles in 1996 💀
Yes but our 90s bands are popular with the kids, at least.
Nooooooooooooo
When did Vampire Weekend become “classic rock.”
When it was formed
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 hear he barely finds time or energy to mackle at all anymore.
I, for one, like my gray hair. I feel wise.
