Apparently I'm old.

Driving home last night, I switched over to the Oldies station on the radio. Sometimes I like a little 60s hippie stoner music.

Imagine my surprise when Bon Jovi's Living on a Prayer came on, followed a few songs later by Def Leppard, with some Madonna in between.

I'm not THAT old, am I? Since when did Bon Jovi and Def Leppard become oldies music?

Oh, FFS.

Re: Apparently I'm old.

  • yea, 80's music is not oldies.

    Whether or not you find your own way, you're bound to find some way. If you happen to find my way, please return it, as it was lost years ago. I imagine by now it's quite rusty.”

  • I hear ya.  I hate when the 80's are referred to as 'oldies' or 'vintage'.  No it's not...that's what I still listen to!  I saw Bon Jovi last year in concert...certainly if they are still touring they cannot be referred to as oldies!

  • I thought the same thing when I heard Beat It on the oldies station..
  • I made a comment to my H that when Nirvana starts playing on the oldies station, we are officially old.

     Two weeks later, guess what I heard on the oldies station?

    I know! There is no way anything from the late 80s/ early 90s is oldies. I admit to yelling at the radio in anger.

  • None of this music qualifies as oldies. WTF?!

  • Does this mean that I can wear a Def Leppard tee while I yell at those damn kids to get off my lawn?

  • It wasn't playing on a radio station, but some 12-14 year old boy told me that his mom listened to the same oldies I did. I was listening to Third Eye Blind.

    LOL...well, I guess to a kid, anything that was around prior to when they were born is an oldie!

  • Our oldies station recently started playing 80s music as well.  So  NOT oldies.

    Agreed!  And BBE, please do that!!

    Last night I was out with friends at a bar and boys were trying to chat me up.  I kept asking them when they graduated college.  All between 2008 and 2011. *smh*  That combined with the kids I work with referring to 90s hip hop as "old school" is not helping.
