I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was.
Now, what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary.
It’ll happen to you!

I think about this concept whenever I see the things kids are into and think "that's stupid."
It bothers me because I felt the same way when I was a kid and saw the things that kids were into then.
But now it's supposedly because I'm old and not because kids are fucking stupid.

As the saying goes, two things can be true! 😆
Source: Am old, and but I've thought kids are stupid since I was a kid, myself.
Thought old people were somehow different when I was a kid. Am old now and know it's no different from being a kid only people somehow think they have permission to be way more fucked up.
"All the Small Things" came out 24 years ago, in 1999. Meaning it came out last millennium!
I remember getting this CD at a virgin records store. We're getting old, you fuckin whippersnappers.
in the 1900s?!?! 🤯
Saying that All the Small Things came out in the late 1900s gives this a different feel
I was talking to someone (younger, obviously) and they used the phrase "in the late 1900s" completely unironically. It stopped me dead in my tracks and took my brain about 5 seconds to compute. By the time I was able to speak again, the only thing I could say was "you need to shut the fuck up and leave right now."
As an elder millennial (84, fuckers) I'm really struggling with entering middle age. But I guess I just approach it the same way my generation has approached everything else, with a weird mix of existential dread and wry humor (hat tip to Gen X for starting that, though).

By textbook definition, we can consider stuff like Gorillaz, Linkin Park, and Panic! At The Disco as “retro” if the song or album came out 15-20 years ago.
1999 was 24 years ago. 24 years before 1999 was 1975, when Wish You Were Here, Physical Graffiti, and Toys in the Attic all came out. Those were definitely classic rock then.
But here's the gut punch. If you were listening to Physical Graffiti in 1975, 24 years earlier was 1951.
That was the end of big band music. You know, oldies.
About a quarter century ago

"All the Small Things" is as old now as "Shining Star" by Earth, Wind, and Fire was when "All the Small Things" came out
Oooh, I like this one. Like Smashing Pumpkins - 1979. The equivalent song today would be about 2007, I think.
A song as iconic as "1979" by The Smashing Pumpkins that came out in 2007 would be "Thnks fr th Mmrs" by Fall Out Boy.

I still remember a few years ago when my local Clearwater Classic Rock station started playing Green Day, Red Hot chili peppers, Weezer, Death Cab, Arcade Fire... as... classic rock?!
My head spun.

Mark of Blink 182 is 51
Isn't it technically consider an "Oldie" at 20 years?
Hey, we're closing in on a quarter of a century with enema of the state.

That episode is 27 years old.
And the album Homer was referring to was a Styx one, which likely came out in 84 at the newest, 12 years before the episode.
Like, you know, whatever.
I was gonna say, isn't the hullabalooza or whatever supposed to be '94. The episode is an oldies
I don't mind being called old because 1. I am kind of old and 2. I feel it.
However, it does really suck when your favorite bands/musicians are considered old because they are forever young in our minds.
Also, over-explaining a meme with unnecessary analysis is a sign of being old.
Even this picture is an oldie now.
That's fucked up.
Its a new day, but it all feels old. Its the good life, that’s what I’m told. But everything it all just feels the same.

Get off my lawn.
[off topic] From 'Cheers' Same and Woody are discussing music. Sam says that sometimes he'll rock out to the real old time rock and roll; the Marvelettes; the Four Tops; The Temptations. He asks Woody if he's ever heard of any of them. Woddy says no, but sometimes his Mom would have him listen to Devo.

Am I so old that I'm not surprised this is oldies? Or maybe I've just came around to the slowly creepy idea that not everything is about Boomers. Idgaf what they call oldies any more Idgaf about their christmas music either
I like how Nine Inch Nail poster stuck there like a sore thumb.
As a blink-182 fan, growing older is a must, but growing up is optional ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
The new album is actually pretty good and has a good mix of classic blink and about getting old. Fair few songs hit me hard and asking why blink would do this to me
I'm in this meme and I feel personally attacked.
All the kids listen these days is The Doodletown Pipers.
You know the worst part is: I don't know enough about modern pop culture to say for sure that this isn't true...
