Dating yourself

(1/6) > >>

Mnementh:
I made a reference to America's Horse With No Name in the picture thread and I was remind of a bit of an incident from earlier this week.

You see, I feel like I'm dating myself by referencing that song.  It came out 10 years before my birth and has always fit into that generic "70's rock" catagory to me.  I've known the song for as long as I can remember because it was certainly something my parents listened to in their teens and twenties.

So the other day I heard someone younger (18) refer to the same song as an oldie, and then to go ahead and describe most vietnam era music as oldies.  This just shocked me, to me oldies to me are really something of the 1950s and early 60s.

I wonder how long it is before I'm not hip anymore...

rive gauche:
There, there. It'll be okay. Just wait until people start referring to the 80s as "oldies".

Mnementh:
The day they do that I'm holing up with a pint of haagen daas and watching Flashdance.

yelley:
i thought you meant dating yourself... like buying yourself flowers and taking yourself out for dinner and junk.

i listen to america on occasion. i wouldn't call it an oldie yet. i have heard some people refer to 80s music as oldies... that's just silly.

i'm still young... 21... and i'm already not hip. ^_^

kikanjuuneko:
The idea that what one listens to will somehow be novel forever is ridiculous.
