Huh, that song's 20 years old this year.

Is there a cut-off point for a song to stop being "modern"? I feel like it's tricky with music because the "in" sound of pop music keeps changing. That song sounds like it's from 1999 and I don't think there's anything in the charts today that sounds like it.

I'm probably just splitting hairs.

Forget swing, contra/square dancing was great in college. The look on a woman's face when she finds out her partner actually knows how to support someone when spinning so they don't have to worry about falling over.

I think it’s 10 years for modern.* But, honestly, I’m having a hard time conceptualizing this. It’s perfectly acceptable for a “modern rock” station to play mid 90s music these days. But the idea of a “modern” station playing something from the late 60s or early 70s, during the 90s, is patently absurd.

*Anything Trent Reznor does should have 20 years added to its release date. Seriously: Head Like A Hole is 30 years old!?

Early 00s was loving fantastic, it's that brief time when used record stores were huge and small indie rock venues in small towns started turning serious profit

Every time period has obnoxious stuff, it's so weird to me to hear people talk as if any period in recent memory hasn't been filled with some variety of awful tacky poo poo. One just learns to ignore all that forever. It's not worth the mental real estate.

On the flip side I want to know what we're considering "oldies" these days because I was recently accused of listening to oldies while I had an 80's station playing and I was moderately offended.

I was driving a moving van up from Texas to Kentucky, and there was about 500 miles of nothing but Christian Talk/Rock radio. I finally get within range of Nashville and find a good station: playing my jams! I’m rocking out, having a good time, when the station identifier comes up: “you’re listening to Goooooooooooolden Oldies! The best of the 70s, 80s, AND 90s!”

Oldies is still pre-1960 to me... :smith:

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

I have two local "Oldies" stations. One is one of the big commercial ones that over the last decade has drifted from "50s 60s and 70s with great Motown and Folk Rock and such" into "Beatles, Queen and R.E.M." The other is KISN, a tiny station that was actually playing back in the 60s and 70s, has some of the old hosts, plays great old stuff including some really obscure Forgotten 45s, and if I drive more than 20 minutes in any direction I lose the signal. It's so weak I can't pick it up at all on my home radio, just the car with more modern boosters.

Our local oldies station has started putting 90s rock into their rotation.

And the once hip, young and rebellious station is catering almost exclusively to guys in their 50s.

I started hearing it on classic rock stations in 2004, I think the only requirement is that a song be 10 years old.
