18 yr old neighbor told me "oldies music" is the 80's

So today I am talking to my 18 yr old neighbor who is going away to college in a week. She is a budding musician and a great singer.
I was telling her that I love female singers who do acoustic covers of "oldie" songs.
She then says "oh so do I, I am working on a cover right now of a billy joel song".

Damn. I feel old.

 

Lmao and I'm only 30

 

if I posted a picture of her you wouldn't believe me.

 

BAHAHAHAHAHAa

 

Show her some 8-track tapes of your fav oldies!

 

the heck with 8 tracks Lp's are back in now.

 

And you'd probably get arrested for taking it!

 

Well I was listening to a classic rock station and they do play Metallica!

 

When my daughter was in high school she thought "classical music" was the '50s music I grew up with.

 

Consider that there were Oldies radio stations in 1980 playing music from 1955-65 only 15-25 years old, a song from 1980 is 34 years old. Yep, it's an Oldie.

 

that's what I was afraid of

 

I still have this on 33..http://youtu.be/Srxj-PsKLDg

 

"The Outsiders" always comes to mind when I hear that song ^^

 

Heck I listen to these guys all the time.

 

The '80's is oldies music

 

I've told this before a couple years ago, but same vein... Buddy of mine was going thru a divorce/mid-life crisis and starts bringing all these young girls to cookouts. He starts talking about music and how Eddie Vedder is a revolutionizing music before asking his date what her fav Pearl Jam song is. Her response: "Yea, I don't listen to oldies". Next day he started dating women his own age again.
