Lol. I was quoting All The Small Things, not referring to the song Say It Ain't So by Weezer.

Everyone knows rock attained perfection in 1974. It's a scientific fact.

Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall hadn’t released yet, so that’s literally impossible.

It’s bizarre I have gone from identifying with Bart, to Homer… to more with Abe.

I pretty much always identified more with Abe. I think he's one of the more grounded characters on the show.

This is chronologically equivalent to us listening to Stairway To Heaven in high school.

I remember that being called *Classic Rock*. Oldies were 60’s soul, Elvis, and the like.

So how do the young kids call the old oldies nowadays?

Constant_Concert_936@reddit

Yeah that’s right. Probably more so the 50’s. Anything post-Jazz up to the 70’s, it seems.

If you're still listening to the radio you can't take *too* much offense at that.

Imagine it's 1985 and you tell people you're going to see Bill Haley and The Comets. You're going to an oldies show.

Dude, Xennials weren't even 10 in '85. Concerts?!?

It's was a simile. A made up example to highlight the time difference compared to today. For most of us, oldies are the music from the 50s and 60s, so I chose a 50s band that most people here would call an oldie band.

When my band plays our What's My Age Again cover I'm singing about being 15 years younger than I am.
