I am NOT ok with music in the 90s being refered to as “oldies”. Oasis is NOT oldies!!!

    You must be really old. Oldies is anything from before 1995, grandpa. That’s 30 years if you won’t do the math.

    To put it in perspective, that’s the same time between Joan Jett’s I love Rock n Roll, a 1980 hit and Benny Goodman with his big band music Little Girl Don’t Cry. Elvis wouldn’t become a thing until 1954.

        Yeah, totally different. Big girls don’t cry was Four Seasons, 1962. It was also an oldie in 1980. So I’d say the window for oldie is actually 25 years.

        I’m not actually familiar with little girl, don’t cry. I googled 1950 big band music.
