Hell, I’m just glad some of the 90’s stuff managed to make it to that status.
Smells Like Teen Spirit is 35 years old. It’s was incredibly hot at the time, but it felt like a gibberish song. I figured by the time I hit my 50’s/60’s it would just have been looked at as some crazy bullshit.

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.

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.

When did Vampire Weekend become “classic rock.”
Secret_Music@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 hours ago
I’m 40 and I also do now, just to piss off my peers that turned into their parents, and to remind myself to keep exploring new music so that I don’t become one of these people that get stuck in time and unable to relate to newer generations.
I like ‘90s music (it’s my childhood decade) but I also dislike people who act like things “back in their day” are objectively the best, because I heard all that shit before from old people when I was a kid.

When I was a kid in the 70s, Grease was huge, glamorizing 1950s “oldies” music like it was from some long-ago era. That’s only 20 years. That’s like glamorizing music from 2006 today. The 90s are definitely “classic rock” now. Trippy.

What people who were kids in the 70s are still ALIVE?! /s
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
The only part that makes your comparison absurd is the fact that there’s nothing special about 2006.
In your head, right now, imagine the 1950s. There’s a distinct style you’re seeing, isn’t there?
Now picture 2006. How is the image any different than today, besides the cars today being computers on wheels?
We would be glorifing 2006, if there was anything worthwhile about it.

emo kids and hip hop of the era. frosted tips, lots of hairgel.
there was a lot of stuff that was different back then. The stuff that was fun was also in its infancy.

No smartphones, or at least they weren’t common. (I was a weirdo who carried a PDA everywhere)
Which probably explains why vintage turn of the century tech is becoming popular.
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 14 hours ago
You’re right, the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s all had distinct styles. That started fading in the 90s, and unless you look closely, the nearly three decades since are all very similar.
I think we can rightly blame capitalism for homogenizing our culture, and spreading it around the world. And, even if we can’t, I still will, and also fuck Mark Zuckerberg just because I haven’t said it yet today.

I don’t mind because I see more kids wearing clothes with “classic” bands like Sublime and Soundgarden and Nirvana and Biggie than bands that were “classics” when I was in high school
People thought I was weird for liking Zeppelin in the 90s.
hdsrob@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
I see a ton of kids wearing Nivrana shirts, but not sure if it’s actually because they know who they are, or they just like the shirt (it’s always the same shirt).

Yeah, they had teenage girls on their plane.
And, yeah, The Kinks are better in most regards.
But I’ve moved on and honestly don’t listen to much Zeppelin anymore.

Red Hot Chili Peppers, the band, has existed for 44 years.
I’m reminded of this every time I spot Flea in Back to The Future (Needles), which itself is 41 years old.

Rubanski@discuss.tchncs.de 6 hours ago
Well in the 90s, the 70s were vintage as well. I think 20 years is starting to get pretty vintage, maybe going back 100 years is also vintage? It’s not ancient tho

Is 100+ years not antique?

That was me watching that Apple TV show Invasion. In the first episode, a kid has headphones on and someone asks what he’s listening to. He says something like “oh just some classic music”… and it’s Green Day..
But then I remember Dookie came out over 30 years ago and I cry again lol
Ertain@feddit.online 10 hours ago
Some say it’s old, but it’s still gold. Dookie was a classic when it was released, and people nowadays have realized that.
SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 hours ago
Not a teenager. If you’ve kept up at all on music and listened to the stuff we did in the 90s, yeah it holds up great, but holy shit does a lot of it sound old in comparison. Like bowling for soup’s 1985 released in 2005 was only 20 years, but it has been 21 years since 2005. Time goes on, the pile of backlog gets taller.
Watch, read, listen, do as much as you can in this life you have, it’s the only one you get. Even if you’re religious and believe in an afterlife… You don’t know you’re right, you have to take it on faith. So hedge a little bit and live your damn life like there’s no afterlife.
…That doesn’t mean fucking dead deer, though.

To be fair, the 90s were awesome.
This whole century has sucked since 9/11

I don’t understand why this is an issue. I refer to it as classics too. It’s all music from my childhood as I’m from the 80s. Modern music can not compete.
