My local rock station started playing straight-up modern pop hits a couple years ago. Could have at least left it at pop rock, there’s no shortage of that …
Though they never pretended to be brutal, they were always about classic rock and 90s pop rock.

If only, Metallica is way too hard for them. Their main thing is 70s rock, minus Black Sabbath and punk.

If it’s anything like I hear they just play Enter Sandman and Nothing Else Matters and lump it in with Ozzy’s Crazy Train and consider that their hard core “classic rock”

Oh yeah, I forgot that Metallica had a buttrock phase …

Nirvana and Metallica are considered “oldies” now, and that makes me feel really old.

1995 was 30 years ago, so that checks out. I’m currently really into 90s/early 00s Nu Metal, and that wave started in 1994 (release of Korn’s debut album). Most of it was before my time, but my circle of friends was definitely listening to Linkin Park’s debut in the early 00s. There are college graduates who are younger than that album …

That’s depressing. My local station is still rockin’ hard with “A Little Bit Off” by FFDP on repeat, with some Metallica and Black Sabbath sprinkled in. They do the cringy “we do things the other stations won’t” innuendos, but they don’t gave a morning show and don’t play ads on my drive home (except for their own station), so I’m happy.

Gross.

Yeah, I hear it 1-2x/day, and I only listen for about an hour. That’s a pretty high hit-rate when there are so many great classics.
But at least they’re still playing rock instead of throwing in random pop stuff.
