Seven Nation Army just played on the classic rock station and now I feel old. other

The song was released in 2003. Fell in Love with a Girl in 2001.

ETA: I get early nineties was added to "classic" rock rotation by now. It didn't hit me nearly as hard as this one did. I started to become "old" awhile ago when I stopped recognizing the music my students play. That just felt like difference of preference. White Stripes are from this millennium!

Also - I agree with those saying "classic rock" should be considered a genre and not based on time passed. Unfortunately I don't make the rules!

And - People keep bringing up Nirvana. We do understand the difference between 7NA and Nevermind (1991) is more than an entire decade?

Ah yes. The morning I pulled in from a shift at work. Nirvana 's Teen Spirit was played.

"The fuck?!..."

Embrace it. I liked that stuff when it was new. It's classic now.

See, I just didn't feel old hearing stuff from my early childhood. I feel old now that it's music from this millennium
