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

  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.
