I first heard Nirvana on a classic rock station, but that's because I'm in WA and the station had a show for new local music at some dead hour at night. It's the same place I first heard Sir Mix-a-Lot (he did a cross-over rap version of Iron Man with Metal Church).
Ah cool. The first time it came on the speaker where I work I was like there is no way they're playing gangstas paradise here. Its too low to hear well. So I looked it up on the app we have and it was the Stevie wonder version. Id never heard it before so it was a surprise.

A modern Marty McFly would time travel back to 1996.

Matchbox 20 is badly mischaracterized as Classic Rock. But it DOES qualify for Oldies.

I guess you're 2000 and late

I accepted the oldies station playing Nirvana, but when they started playing blink 182 I took that personally

Matchbox 20 is like Great Value brand indie rock.

When I was a kid I always thought the music was old people shit. I went to QFC today to get Easter dinner food and man, it was banger after banger.

That’s how I feel at the grocery store. Fuckin bangers.

I love that song! You don't like it? Or did it just not fit the mix? (I have no idea what constitutes "classic rock")
FluidExchangeProgram
I love it, but I realize that like the song, I’m “classic” now 😢
andexer
Classics are beautiful and strong. It's why they survive long enough to be classics. You're awesome if you're classic

It was Nirvana for me

McDonald's the other day was playing Gangsters Paradise.
Not exactly new but doesn't seem appropriate?
And no it was not Amish Paradise.
Exyr
You sure it wasn't Stevie wonders pastime paradise?
horsetuna
It sounded identical to Gangsters Paradise to me.
horsetuna
I listened to Stevie to be sure and no, it was definitely Coolios voice.

Well now I am doubting my memory.

Don't upvote this PoS. They're a Charlie Kirk supporter and insult Pretti and Goode on the regular.

They produced popular music. Good music is good music. there's only 12 notes to choose from
sometimesarobot
If you say so
Peden1
Factually, yes... Objectively, it doesn't matter IMO
sometimesarobot
I meant about backstreet boys being good music.
