Dude, yesterday I heard a radio ad promoting “vintage alternative” music and it was fucking “Mr. Brightside” by The Killers.
Vintage.
I wanted to throw my geriatric elder Millennial ass through my windshield.
"And now for some golden oldies!"

I feel you. The local alternative station played a “throwback” of Macklemore’s Thrift Shop.

Don’t worry, you can consol yourself with all the great new rock music being made
Tbf, even as someone around the same age as you, I can’t even make my own. Like, purely as a hobby but it all comes out as like stuff from the late 60s and early 70s. Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t make the rock/guitar music i grew up with.
I could always drown it in fuzz or hide the guitars, like everyone else these days I guess.
I’m just having a moan.

Here’s an oldie coming at you fresh out of the Time Machine from 1998…

Hybrid Theory was released 24 years ago.

Wait, so you do or do not remember the excitement of going from 14.4 to 33.6 for dialup?

And there hasn’t been a better album since

To be fair, Linkin Park had plenty of popularity into the 2010s. Stuff is moving so fast that Gen Z or A are going hear Post Malone or Billy Eilish as a classic in about 4 to 5 years. Hell, they’ll say Billy Eilish is out of gas by the time she’s 30. Get ready for the AI avalanche, here’s a throwback remake of Harry Styles and Bruno Mars singing “Easy Lover”.

When someone mentions a weird old man bothering people with his weird-old-man music and I expect it to be 70s prog rock but it’s Radiohead or Aphex Twin or something

“That was All American Rejects. Next up is Death Cab For Cuties and Alien Ant Farm.”
FUUUCK!!

Followed by your grandfather’s favorite Nirvana!
theangryseal@lemmy.world 6 months ago
It’s so wild to me that Nirvana is old, that I’m old.
I heard the older folks say that I would wake up and be old one day and it would feel like barely any time has passed. “Young people will treat you like a dinosaur and you’ll still think you’re 25.”
I just can’t believe it.
Time has slipped through my fingers. Everything I put off a week ago was actually thousands of years ago now.
30-40 has been a month or so.

I’ll give it a shot I guess.

Downside of being an ageless immortal: oldies stations all play that new crap and no one plays your favorite hits from the roaring twenties anymore. NPR’s still good though.
masterofn001@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
Wait, this isn’t the roaring twenties?
Makeitstop@lemmy.world 6 months ago
More like the whimpering twenties.

There’s this station I’ve grown up listening to that I associate with where the “old stuff” is played (WSFM 101.7fm in Australia), and the other day I heard Welcome to The Black Parade on it, I almost fell out of my chair.

I do not like this, not one bit!!
hactar42@lemmy.world 6 months ago
It sucked the first time music from my teen years made it on to the classic rock station. But it hurt hearing stuff from my 20s on there now.
umbraroze@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Good thing about having a 80s/90s station in the region is that they have to dramatically rebrand before they can branch out to more recent decades.
mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
You mean there are themes besides “the 80s, 90s, and today?”
Because I’ve been hearing that phrase for twenty-odd years.

Classic Rock is an ever expanding black hole of music
Zachariah@lemmy.world 6 months ago
To be fair that was also the same exact effect Linkin Park had when it was first on the radio.
mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
Some things never belong on classic rock stations because they’re not fucking rock!

Now where is the Classier Rock station?

You want the Oldies station now.

I went to a Underoath concert last week (They’re Only Chasing Safety 20th Anniversary Tour) and there was a father with a ten year old child.

1994 is as far in the past today as 1964 was in 1994.

High quality meme. First one I’ve upvoted in 5 years. For me it was when the chili peppers and pearl jam started getting played.

In the end, it doesn’t even matter
Is this “Um ackchyually” bait? 😅

Oh my bad.
I don’t even like Linkin Park 🤷♂️
