Oh yeah, that makes me feel old

There was a post on August '12 asking about people's favorite classic rock bands. Journey, Metallica and GnR were on the list. As were the Red Hot Chili Peppers... and Bush!!!

Dear lord!

Bush????  Classic????   Not very likely.

OMG!

I know the feeling. My tech was cleaning up a really messy area that probably has never been cleaned in decades. I said that she might find Jimmy Hoffa in there and no one knew who I was talking about. I had to explain.

I told a kid the other day he sounded like a broken record. He had no idea wtf I was talking about.

And, when did some of those become classic rock. Mind you, Beastie Boys is old school. That's not right.

I think we just have to wait till our favorite '80s and '90s music gets really old, because then it'll all get cool again!

Unfortunately, I don't know if I'll even be alive then.

Sigh.

Bush wasn't even popular until I was OUT of college.

Don't worry, we put a RUSH movie on and DD said "Those guys look a million years old!"...  I should add that she said the same thing about the 80's bands when they had replays on...

There's something about hearing TLC on the classic stations that even gets me - seriously 1995 wasn't THAT long ago!!!!

I went into best buy the other day looking for earphones that have the radio in them and don't have to be attached to an IPOD or MP3 Player. The girl asked to help me and I told her and she looked at me as if I had two heads.  She didn't have a clue what I was talking about. I was like, I'm not that old.

Yea, I used to turn on our classic rock radio station and they would be playing Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, etc.  Now they are playing GNR, Bon Jovi and Motley Crue!!  WTH!  I really have no idea when I got that old that my favorite music is classic rock. lol

Ditto!

To the PP who was looking for the radio headset, check Walmart, they still have CD walkman's...  I do however know that they stopped making them for cassettes a few years back....

Old school =/= classic.

Not exactly music related but my coworker Sarah who is exactly my age got transferred to a new Dept. She was saying to her coworkers "in my world..." which made her sing "Sarah's world, excellent!" Like Wayne's World. And no one knew what she was referencing. And then I asked if they were all older and she was like, "Nice try. No, dear, we're the fogies." Lol

Yup. It's sad that I would have immediately assumed that they were too old to catch it. Shame that those who WERE too old are probably close to retirement by now.

Oof.

I know that, I should have mentioned it in reference to the radio. I was listening to the radio the other day, and someone called in and wanted to listen to "old school", Beastie Boys preferred, but anything old would do (pop/rap/etc). This was me . I shouldn't have been too surprised at the old comment, the DJ was on the air when I was a teen.

I always cry a little when I hear Motley Crue on the classic rock stations.

BeesMomma00

We once played a game of Taboo with some 20 somethings...  I was paired with one of them and had to explain "Birkenstock" 

Yeah, they had no idea.   

Sparks in training!

I agree with the Bush comment...they were ok...i mean.. you might as well throw LIVE in with the Bush catagory.

RHCP...classic? Isnt the Beatles, Doors etc the Classics? I dont think we are old. I think its just the younger ones didnt have the proper musical training and honestly....grew up with Nsync, boy bands!

MT-Head

Oh come now! Bush was practically the entire soundtrack for a really bad movie with Reeese Witherspoon, Mark Wahlberg and William Peterson called Fear.  Oh, I think there may have been a Pixiers song tossed in there, too, but it was mostly Bush.

Garth Brooks and Alan Jackson were on the oldies country station. That realy bothered me!

I heard an old, like way back in the beginning, Crue song on the Boneyard (sirius) yesterday and Vince Neil sounded so...young...like teenager young.  So sad.
