Most people consider "oldies" anything older than 20 years. So to a lot of people, music in 1998 and before that is considered oldies. I think it should be at least 50 years. So when you are in your 50's, the music you grew up on is "oldies". It makes no damn sense that I am 30 and the music I enjoyed in the 90's is considered old. By my logic, 1968 and before that is oldies. Makes a lot more sense, no?
I mean you can call music from any year whatever you want to call it, I don't honestly care, but in a general sense Oldies is usually what I said and such. You can consider music from the 70s as oldies I don't care because music is just music. I just know what I have told and what the music industry has always said what "oldies" and such is. I mean if Nikki wanted to keep the thread called The Oldies and have people post stuff form he 80s and 90s that is fine because I don't care for labeling stuff that doesn't make sense labeling, if that makes any sense. I mean when I say "That song came out 10 years ago" I always refer to the 90s and not early 2000s.
I agree the times have changed. People are quickly to dispose of anything as soon as its irrelevant in pop culture or mainstream media in a sense. That is what I do personally. I just call stuff 90s, 80s, or whatever except for Classical but with good reason.
