Do you realize that in 15-20 years (or possibly even sooner) stuff like Nickelback, Creed, Hinder, and the like will be played on classic rock stations anc considered "classic" rock?
Also, when I'm old and broken down and in a nursing home, my grandchildren and great-grandchildren will visit me, and they'll not "get" my music, as I'll be listening to that "old timey" Snoop Dogg, etc.
Something to think about, eh?

The stuff I used to listen to in high school is already played on Classic Rock stations. Don't get me started on the state of music today, as I would go on a venom laced diatribe that would probably fill 3 pages of this thread.

Then what happens to today's Classic Rock music? Will it become Classic-er Rock? I mean, recorded music has only really been around since the turn of the 20th Century, and popular didn't really hit its stride until the 1950's. What happens in 100 years, when there will have been so much music produced, it will be impossible to discern the many artists and songs. Eventually, only the greatest of the great will be remembered. In 200 years, what music will those people even have heard of? Obviously, the classical music like Beethoven, Chopin, etc. will endure, but what about today's popular music? It will seem like The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Elvis, U2, Eminem, and whatever great artists emerge in the next 50 years, it will seem like they were all making music at the exact same time.

I heard Alice in Chains on classic rock the other day. Made me feel REALLY old.

They started playing Smashing Pumpkins songs on the Classic Rock station like three years ago here, I screamed in horror.
Thankfully there's still at least two modern rock stations around, sadly both are six and nine hours away from here.

I almost drove off the road when I heard "Enter Sandman" on the CLASSIC rock station, followed by "Paint It, Black" and "All Along The Watchtower".  |

I had similar reactions to hearing Stone Temple Pilots on a classic rock station. I was a teenager when the stuff they were playing came out! It's times like these where I feel really old. |

I remember watching VH-1 Classic and seeing the videos for Kriss Kross' "Jump" and Color Me Badd's "I Wanna Sex You Up." Another time, the channel played Joan Osborne's "One of Us." 90s music being played on a "classic music" station just doesn't seem right.
My town's oldies station recently expanded its playlist to include hits from the 80s. I shudder to think what'll be included in the future.
These days, you rarely hear music from the 40s and 50s on terrestrial radio, unless it's an adult standards station. Will this happen to music from other decades as time marches forward? Like marvelocity said, what will they call the music that we know today as classic rock? Will those songs become the new "golden oldies"?

Jesus.....the thought of AC/DC and Hendrix being referred to that way is chilling. |

It's scary now. I put on Gold FM a while ago and they were playing Tubthumping by Chumbawumba.  |

Yeah, I was listening to an oldies station a couple weeks back and they were playing eighties music. I guess it's just about the turn of another decade of music, but yeah, it is a little weird.
