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.

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

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!!

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. 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?

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.

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" in the exact same style and audio quality that it was originally recorded in.

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.

John Oldman?

Wait, this isn't the roaring twenties?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

More like the whimpering twenties.

The mewling twenties.

the diarrheaing(?) twenties

Classic Rock is an ever expanding black hole of music

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

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

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