Support NeoGAF

[Phediuk]

oh god.

should I be preordering a coffin now?

 

[Moppeh]

I'm 22 and that even makes me feel shitty.

 

[DrKelpo]

yes... you should, you old fossil.

 

[mysocksarepink]

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

Billy Corgan is our Ted Nugent so it works out

 

[Log4Girlz]

The furthest back they'll go is 1979

 

[johancruijff]

 

[Phediuk]

The furthest back they'll go is 1979

Yeah and if "1979" was released in 2017, it would be called "2000".

 

[DarthMasta]

I'm 40 and I remember listening to them while in high school, being on an oldies station makes sense...

 

[TissueBox]

1979 was the jam wasn't it.

 

[John Kowalski]

1979 was the jam wasn't it.

Damn right

 

[restraining order]

Yeah and if "1979" was released in 2017, it would be called "2000".

Jesus Christ.

 

[jett]

Yeah and if "1979" was released in 2017, it would be called "2000".

 

[Billy_Pilgrim]

Greatest band of all time. Kids these days with their Drakes and Imagine Dragons. For shame.

 

[lucebuce12]

Yeah and if "1979" was released in 2017, it would be called "2000".

 

[Kayhan]

Well that and old Dad Rock classics like Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit.

 

[thesoapster]

As I was walking up the street yesterday, I got to the corner at about the same time as a kid on a skateboard. He jumped a little and said, "Woahhhh, you scared me, mister!!" I feel old as fuck.

 

[Leflus]

I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too.

 

[yeehamuffins]

Pearl Jam, for some reason, is always the band that does this to me. Not like they were even my favorite band back then, but they've always felt like the band of my adolescence and then I hear "Even Flow" on the classic rock station and remember that Ten came out more than 25 years ago and... ugh, time, why do you suck so much?

 

[Diablos]

Yeah and if "1979" was released in 2017, it would be called "2000".

Holy shit you're right.

Anyway I can see a song like 1979 on an oldies station. I mean it was produced to sound 80s ish anyway even though it came out in the mid 90s. It's kind an ode to that era.

So much of their stuff is timeless though and in a category of its own. For example, Siamese Dream came out in 1993 and still sounds flawless and nowhere close to being dated.

Btw according to Corgan this demo evolved somehow into 1979

Could have been on the radio in the 30s. Just speaks to the wonderful eclectic nature of this band

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Nirvana's been playing on my local classic station for years.

 

[AgentOtaku]

lol, that's shitty OP

I know them feels

Turned 34 last month :/

 

[Diablos]

Billy Corgan is our Ted Nugent so it works out

I don't know if I'd go that far but I was pretty shocked and extremely disappointed... and kinda disgusted when I saw Billy on Infowars talking to Alex Jones

 

[LakeEarth]

Dude, the 90s have been "retro" for a while. It was always a matter of time before it slipped into "oldies".

 

[GKSilKamina]

I remember feeling this bummed about getting old when Nick at Night started playing Fresh Prince episodes.

 

[Staal]

Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known


Good times

 

[Zombine]

I'm an old man now but at least I have good taste.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Despite all my rage, I'm still just a poster on Gaf

 

[HStallion]

Nirvana is classic rock now

 

[Kayhan]

Despite all my rage, I'm still just a poster on Gaf

Just add some grey in the temple.

 

[RumblingRosco]

Their first album is closer to being 3 decades old than 2 decades old. That's old.

WHOOAA-OOH-OH EVEEEEEN FLOOOOOOO-HOOO-HOO-HOOOO

 

[Hands of Stone]

Yeah and if "1979" was released in 2017, it would be called "2000".

Time is a motherfucker.

 

[WedgeX]

I know the feeling, OP.

You're an old now.

 

[AgentOtaku]

Time is a motherfucker.

That gif is depressing on multiple levels

I was literally telling a coworker a couple weeks back that I'd outlived him and yeah, was kinda sad to think about

 

[rrs]

Is it like a -20 years oldies station or 70's and before oldies station

 

[teruterubozu]

Billy Corgan is our Ted Nugent so it works out

LOL! Now that's good.

 

[Futureman]

I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too.

I don't know if it's better this way but I work at a college and people are always like, "What year are you?"

I graduated a decade ago!

 

[hidys]

The 90s started 27 years ago. It's time to accept that 90s music can be played on oldies stations.

I was forced to accept this fact after I heard Smells Like Teen Spirit on a similar station.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

 

[Diablos]

They already have some songs that are approaching 30

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=odk9p_IQpHg

Recorded in 1988 but has been around since 86 or so I think so it's over 30 years old actually

It does creep me out a bit

 

[jacob armitage]

Yeah and if "1979" was released in 2017, it would be called "2000".

*screams*

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

I was a teenager when their shit was just coming out oh my god I am old.

 

[NekoFever]

I remember the oldies station playing 60s and 70s music when I was a kid and my dad would have it on in the car. Now the same station is mainly 80s, with a bit of early/mid 90s creeping in.

I genuinely consider the day you hear a song you remember being released either played on an oldies station or referred to on the radio as an oldie is the day the child in you dies forever.

 

[Mr. Giggles]

I like being old.

My poops are softer, I get to eat earlier, discounts everywhere, I have seats reserved for me on the bus and metro.

Only thing that bugs me is those damned neighborhood hooligans kicking their soccer balls in to my yard then trampling on my bermuda grass....

 

[Ban Puncher]

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

1979 is on the oldies station in GTA4.

 

[Fallout-NL]

Billy Corgan is our Ted Nugent so it works out

Ouch.

 

[Blader]

Yeah and if "1979" was released in 2017, it would be called "2000".

What the fuck.

1979 is on the oldies station in GTA4.

Liberty Rock Radio wasn't an oldies station! Though now that I think of it...

That was genuinely the only radio station I listened to during the whole game :lol

 

[TheLetdown]

Billy Corgan is our Ted Nugent so it works out

Fuuuuuuuuuck.

Unless something changes, this has my ballot for the spot-on Post of the Year.

There needs to be some really harsh realities in a relationship thread to shake this one up. Bravo.


EDIT:

Yeah and if "1979" was released in 2017, it would be called "2000".

This is destroying my world and it's not even 9 AM here.
