No inside joke, just an observation haha. The 70s kind of lives in the 60s and 80s shadow culturally (except for disco, but people nowadays seem to forget disco happened until it’s mentioned). A lot of the big bands and musical movements found their stride/became more.popular in the 80s. The only time I hear “back in the 70s” it’s usually followed by stories of cocaine and disco, not Led Zeppelin and steppenwolf. The exception to that is Eagles, but theyre awful so it doesn’t count lol
History? Feel like the only people listening to the songs of the 50s exclusively are almost dead and gone. You tend to spend your years listening to the songs of your youth (teens-20s) so people who were coming of age in the 50s would be in their 90s now since 1950 was 74 years ago.
I’m counting ‘23 as done, idc about 20ish measly days
My folks are in their 70s and still listen to stuff from Elvis, The Big Bopper, Buddy Holly, the Everly Brothers, etc. I think you’re off by at least 15 years as to who’s listening to what.
I tried listening to the 50s and 60s stations on SiriusXM in the car when driving with the kids, because those songs should have safe language, but foul language is a lot better than what I was hearing in those songs (blatant sexism, borderline racism, love songs for underage girls, and so on). I decided Liquid Metal is just fine.
What are songs from the 50s and 60s called now?
Boomer radio
Boombox?
Classic
That’s 80s. 70s didn’t happen, 50s-60s are certified geriatric®
Source: I’ve been hearing ACDC on the classic rock station for the last 10 years
A huge part of AC/DC’s catalog is from the 70s…
True but their music is more associated with the 80s. And the 70s didn’t happen
If the 70s hadn’t happened we’d have missed most of Led Zeppelin… Steppenwolf…
Is this some inside jokey meme I’m not privy to or something? 😂
