Comment on What do all the subgenres of music mean? How does anyone make sense of them?

My local rock station started playing what is clearly pop music a couple of years ago. I think they still call themselves a rock station.

Pop Rock is a thing. Or was a thing, once. 🤷♂️

Trust me, I’m not talking about tracks that could reasonably be called “pop rock”. They were already playing pop rock all the time anyway.

You’re still doing a lot of glossing.
My parents listened to Roy Orbison, Chubby Checker, Buddy Holly, and some of the very early Elvis. Would they consider Elvis “oldies?” Probably not — he was pop music to them. Roy Orbison? Yeah; he’d be oldies.
To me, Madonna and Prince are oldies.

Your parents have much better taste in music than my grandparents or the oldie stations in my area.
