Welcome Back Kotter was not when Nick at Nite changed for the worst. that came when they stopped showing everything from I love Lucy, my three sons, green acres, Happy Days and welcome back Kotter all together.What do you think older generations said when this happened to them lol.
Same thing happened.
Also see Nick At Night. From I Love Lucy to Welcome Back Kotter.
The problem I see with the transition from Pop to Oldies and Rock to Classic rock is that nobody is filling the void. With the rise of the digital age and the state of music being entirely throwaway trash, we are going to need a miracle to see some truly strong movements in music because all our heroes are dead or dying or still out there doing their thing.
Oldies have been 80s for a while now..
Oldies stations have been playing Nirvana around me
Damn that would be nightmareWhen oldies stations start playing Jennifer Lopez's If You Had My Love or Britney Spears' Baby One More Time, then that will feel a bit weird.
There are oldie stations that only play 90's hip-hop and contemporary R&B
I kind of can't wait until they play 00's-10's on oldies. Like all of the music you like in one place is a dream. Too bad radio will be dead by then.
Depending on the market, yes.
My argument is more in regards to the talent gap. We don't get lightening in a bottle or huge movements this day and age. Most of the same artists (from the late 60s onward) that have the capability to tour and release records still do. The current (dire) climate in music and how we consume it on a daily basis has kept a lot of new acts from achieving true success.
We don't have many acts stepping up and taking over for Run DMC, The Stones, KRS-One, Nas, The Beatles, Zeppelin, etc. because the talent pool is drying up, music is super derivative and has a McDonald's like delivery only the menu is changing weekly.
How many Lou Reed's are we hearing on the radio today? Prince and Michael are dead and all we have left are Great Value imitators. If this strange gap continues and nobody "replaces" these artists, we're still going to have the same shit from 75 years ago on heavy rotation on our stations.

The hell? They have been playing those for ages. They actually sometimes play early 2000's music in oldies station where I live.

Switched it over to an oldies station because I was sick of listening about Trump on NPR and they were playing "Girls just wanna have fun"
This is what getting old feels like.
Looking forward to a decade from now when this thread is made about the 90s and someone says "Well I guess this is growing up".
"Donald Trump? The real estate billionaire? Ha! Then who's vice-president? Rockefeller?"If Marty traveled back in time today it would be to 1987.
Hey, that's me! My first memory is my third Birthday party so yeah, 9/11 is not in there at allWhat fucked me up is when Nick at Nite started airing Fresh Prince and Home Improvement.
If you really want to turn to dust, a time adjusted Wonder Years series would take place in 1997. Also, The Wonder Years was showing events that took place about 20 years previous. Almost 30 years have passed since its premiere.
There are kids about to graduate high school that literally don't remember 9/11. They know about it, but they probably don't remember it because they were infants.
Oldies will always be 60's to me. Period.
70s songs were oldies in the early 90s, so songs not even 15 years old.
that would be a song from 2002 today, like whenever by shakira
I don't think it works that way though, pre 80s will always be the oldies
the 80s were just too weird and changed everything
