I think Gen X gets away with more extended youth than Boomers.
In the early ‘80s, LA’s ‘oldies’ station K-EARTH 101 played music that was generally only 15 or 20 years old. Some of the ‘classic rock’ on KLOS might’ve only been five years old.
Anyway, I think labels for our music are a lot more gentle. Like, we just call it New Wave or the ‘80s instead of using a term that indicates a song is at least 34 years old.
@Holberg The 4 decades 50-80s was a Golden Age of exciting, creativity in music. It appears to be lost and I feel privileged to have lived though it. 😓 Sometime in the 1990s, a Beatles Anthology was release to become a best selling album among teens and young adults for a reason.
