Portishead is "old"

I travel a lot for work, and for budget reasons, my teammate and I shared a car for 4.5 hours to our destination. I'm 42F, she's 31F.

I was driving and Portishead came on my playlist over the speakers. I asked if she was familiar with Portishead, and she said no. I told her about trip hop in the late 90s. She said "I like most music, even old stuff."

Me, having a moment: "Wait, did you just call this old?"

Coworker: "Yeah, I mean, relatively."

Me: "uh....yeah, I guess."

Later, she was quietly listening to something through her phone. I offered to play whatever it was on the car speakers, so she put on K-pop and got all excited over BTS. I let it play until I dropped her off and then put on Massive Attack, still wrapping my head around the "old" comment.

OLD????????? I thought that was reserved for, like Led Zeppelin or Elvis or something.
