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.
That song is 20 years old.
Why would you say that?
Some people just like to watch the world burn
Because it is a fact.
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.
Lies! I can't here you!!!
I feel you. The local alternative station played a "throwback" of Macklemore's Thrift Shop.

Here’s an oldie coming at you fresh out of the Time Machine from 1998…
☠️
Hybrid Theory was released 24 years ago.
Jesus... You don't have to throw EmOtInAl DaMaGe around like that!
It crits, dealing double splash/AoE damage. It's super effective.
Damn. I need a new character. What ancestry/background/class combo is FotM these days?

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.
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!
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 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.
I'm almost 60 and I feel more like I should be 100 or so. I've had many different careers and technology has changed so much that I feel I've lived through multiple lifetimes. I think people who do basically the same thing every day (and night) over and over again, with the same people, tend to perceive life as flying by because there's no real difference between one day and the next.
You’re just lucky. I too feel like I’ve lived through multiple lifetimes. They all went by in a flash.
I’ve been hard on my body and mind though. I’m a dumb hillbilly who started having kids when I was 16. I spent a decade as a functional heroin addict. Functional because I have family that gave a damn about me and I’m so antisocial that I had the discipline to have a week’s supply and not burn through it because the thought of dealing with people was enough to make me pause (mostly). Otherwise I would have been in the gutter with everyone else.
I’ve been through the wringer. Maybe that’s part of it. I don’t know.
Life is funny.

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.
Wait, this isn't the roaring twenties?
John Oldman?
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.
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.

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.
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.

Classic Rock is an ever expanding black hole of music
To be fair that was also the same exact effect Linkin Park had when it was first on the radio.
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?
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.
Some things never belong on classic rock stations because they're not fucking rock!
1994 is as far in the past today as 1964 was in 1994.
It's like you're looking right at me with these things, damn!
