So apparently they play 90's music on the classic rock station.

[Xelebes]

When will Prodigy be played on it?

I know Gene Simmons did a cover of it.

Or how about Nine Inch Nails?

Johnny Cash did a famous cover of one of their songs.

Ho hum, can't wait until they put new songs on the station.

 

[Etoile]

And Nick at Nite plays Roseanne and Full House! Argh!

 

[graceanne]

I don't know about everyone else who listens to classic rock, but if they start playing NIN I'm going to stop listening to the stations. Yick.

 

[Chicklet]

aww

I <3 NIN

 

[Xelebes]

Yeah, I can say I'm not a fan of NIN either, but I do like Prodigy.

He makes my satellite go peep-peep.

I'm sorry, the flogger was a necessary fuel for the coil gun project.

 

[Netzach]

I was watching those Galaxie 500 videos and seeing Dean Wareham looking my age was really really scaring me.

 

[Ebonyfire]

When did the 90s become classic?

Did I miss the memo? lol

 

[SweetCherry]

When did the 90s become classic?

It's terrifying if they did, because I graduated in the 90's. If that's the case, does that make ME a classic? Wouldn't that make me *gasp* old??

Being old is much preferable to being *gasp* dead! LOL

[Ebonyfire]

I wonder if the word "classic" is the new euphemism for old.

 

[SweetCherry]

Eb

*laughs* Quite true. And with my oldest child turning 10, I'm quite aware that I'm fast getting to that "old" point. Already am, in the kids' eyes.

Ya know, I grew up with my dad having this amazing classic car. i remember asking why it was called a "classic". he said that cars over 20 years old and in good condition were considered classics, and his truly was. So, I guess that any person over the age of 20 could be considered classic, so long as they're in good condition.

There you have it! Being in good condition is all that we need! I love that!

 

[Netzach]

if I'm in bad condition am I "vintage?"

 

[SweetCherry]

if I'm in bad condition am I "vintage?"

Hey, this is net-land. We're all in perfect condition.

Altho, vintage is good, too. It makes me think of something that's comfortable and experienced.

 

[Ebonyfire]

if I'm in bad condition am I "vintage?"

No. Vintage = "gently used."

 

[SweetCherry]

No. Vintage = "gently used."

With that definition, I hope I'm never vintage!

 

[Ebonyfire]

With that definition, I hope I'm never vintage!

Well if you want to be literal....

 

[Xelebes]

I wonder when they will put the White Stripes on the classic rock station?

 

[graceanne]

So . . . if you're 28, and your doctor says you have the health of a 70 year old, what's that make you?

Garbage?

 

[Etoile]

Hmm, I can see where "gently used" could be applied to something vintage, but I think age has to be in there too. I think age is more relevant than condition for the true definition of vintage, but things that are prized as vintage - clothes, LP's, etc - are often also lightly used. I think a major exception, though, is wine - we put value on wine of an older vintage, but hopefully it isn't also gently used!

Ooh, I just realized...doesn't the word "vintage" derive from its use in the wine world? So it might in fact etymologically be age related, with the popular definition including the element of condition. Oh my, I think I have another question for the public radio show "A Way with Words" ...help me, Richard Lederer!

The word "vintage" does, indeed, come from the world of wine. A wine's vintage is the year during which it was bottled and so the word definitely connotes age.

Does that make my neighbor's Yugo a classic? He bought it in 1985, when they were first introduced in the US.

Aha! See, I knew I learned something in all those years of French.
