The cut off period for something to be considered vintage is 25 years, so 1998

Baby One More Time is now vintage

But serious talk: is the concept of "oldies" going to change as time goes on? Or will the concept just go away altogether?

I'm under 45 so I don't listen to the radio (plus they all suck where I live), but a lot of music seems to be organized by decade, whether by its own station or by programming blocks/specials. Do you need an oldies section when each decade gets its own space? And if we keep it, that brings us back to the question of what's considered "oldies."

Will my local oldies station play some doo wop or grunge for me today lol. I of course support such such a varied roster!
