    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.

      You mean there are themes besides “the 80s, 90s, and today?”

      Because I’ve been hearing that phrase for twenty-odd years.

    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.

            Slanders, sir. For the satirical rogue says here that old men have gray beards, that their faces are wrinkled, their eyes purging thick amber and plum-tree gum, and that they have a plentiful lack of wit, together with most weak hams—all which, sir, though I most powerfully and potently believe, yet I hold it not honesty to have it thus set down; for yourself, sir, should be old as I am, if like a crab you could go backward.

      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. I think its partly the emergance of rap etc. but also a generation traumatised by covid might not be into the same leary, brash rock sounds others might like. I mean, hearing it live with a huge crown thats full of energy makes such a difference. I’m hoping when there’s a higher percentage who experienced it live during those years instead, it might get better.

    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

    Yeah, it’s old music, but introduce kids to it and they love it as much as we did.

      I remember this type of discussions and the exact same arguments on Reddit, or was it Digg, way back when. Classic rock then was Phish or Grateful Dead.
      Well, as a result, I’ve never gotten into these two particular bands, but I did start listening to music that’s like 10 or 20 years older than the stuff I grew up with. In fact, only recently, I’ve gotten a record player and some vinyl records. Works great for lo-fi rock which is imperfect by design.

      You want the Oldies station now. What once was Elvis and Hank Williams is now playing AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, and all your other favorite 70’s and 80’s rock hits.

      If you want Elvis and Hank Williams, you gotta go to the Classical station.

      If you want Mozart… I don’t know… Find a fancy restaurant or an elevator?

    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.

    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.
