Sideways:
Whenever I mention Creedence Clearwater Revival, Electric Light Orchestra or - to a lesser extent - Dire Straits to someone else, and they give me that "Guh?" look.

That makes me feel old.

i'm 18 and to me there are 2 degrees of old. old as in, not recent at all anymore, a period that ends around 1995 and an old as in people will have to bring me to the hospital because of the asthmatic response to the dust on that music. a period which ends when the beatles started. ofcourse there's a bit of crossfading but i guess that'd give you a clue.

Heh. If you're over 20, sorry, it's already happened.

Wear the younger generation's cluelessness about your musical preferences as a badge of honor. :)

I met a bunch of people who had no idea who Duke Ellington was the other day.  That made me sad.

However I'm not entirely sure if listening to jazz from the 1940s dates me or not . . . seeing as how I wasn't born until '79.

On the other hand, I've also noticed the embracing of a whole lot of god-awful music from the '80s that people like me who experienced it the first time are still trying to recover from.  Such as Belinda Carlisle.  I was trapped in a car for an hour with people who thought Belinda Carlisle was good music!  Do you realise how horrible that is?!
