I'm passing the torch because '90s music is now classic rock.

Seriously, I'm OG (old) now and Van Halen went classic rock a decade ago. Time for the late Gen Xers and early Millennials to embrace your own music.
Because your music is old now too.
God help us when the 2000s NuMetal crowd becomes classic rock. But it is what it is.

Good Luck.

90s rock has as much talent as 60s-70s rocks pinky

I found a Spotify playlist yesterday called y2k (mostly pop songs from my high school days , graduated in 2003)
Most were songs I’d have instantly skipped back then but also so much better than most anything youll hear today

Classic rock is classic rock. It’s basically mid 60’s-early 80’s. It’s a radio format. Classic rock doesn’t change. It’s 20 years of a specific time period of rock music. 90’s and 2000’s bands will never be classic rock.

I think one’s perception of what should or shouldn’t be considered classic rock depends entirely upon when one was born. Anything popular while you were old enough to remember it will never feel like classic rock to you.
According to radio stations, classic rock is anything more than 20-25 years old.
Personally, though, I agree with you. I draw the line at grunge, but do include some acts from the 90’s with classic rock if they’re stylistically more similar to 80’s/70’s music than grunge (blues traveler, Black Crowes) or if they’re one of the few 80’s bands which somehow survived the “purge” and maintained relevance into the 90’s (ZZ Top, Aerosmith, ACDC, GNR, U2)

I would call the 90s the last halfway decent decade for music. Definitely a drop off from the three decades before but light years better than the two plus decades after. You can really see the transition between the two with the first half of the decade and the last half of the decade. You went from the Black Crowes, White Zombie, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains in the first half of the decade to, umm, ummm, ummmm, I guess maybe Radiohead in the second half of the decade. U2 put out their second best record Achtung Baby early in the decade and their worst record Pop late in the decade. Tom Petty's new releases went from being played everywhere on the radio early in the decade to being played nowhere on radio later in the decade. Bands went from being "big" by putting out great albums to being "big" by putting out one great song. (Casual music fans name another song by Everclear other than Santa Monica, name another song by Seven Mary Three other than Cumbersome.) The early 90s were running on the ashes of everything that came before it. The later 90s (the era of N'Sync, the Backstreet Boys, Brittany Spears, Hanson, the Macarena, Who Let the Dogs Out?, and the Spice Girls) were the warning signs of the 21st century musical apocalypse to come.

There's great music out there today, just not mainstream, so I agree with this statement in regards to mainstream music.

It's been an entire generation of crappy music for the last 25 years. Someone would have to be deaf not to notice.

Agreed. The same producer recording Brittney and boy bands is still writing hits for Katy Perry and Lady Gaga. It’s pop music distilled to a manufacturing process.
On the flip side, the late 90’s had rock spinning in all kinds of directions:
Pop rock bands like savage garden and matchbox 20
Pop punk bands like Blink 182, the Offspring, and Green Day
Nu metal like Creed, Deftones, Tool, and Slipknot
Rap metal like Rage against the machine, limp bizkit, 311, and kid rock
Ska music like reel big fish, no doubt, the mighty mighty boss tones, less than jake, and save ferris
Butt rock like three doors down, trapt, and Nickelback
In my opinion, rock became so segmented that a lot of the fanbases weren’t crossing over, making rock music in general much harder to market than the industrialized pop and the extremely trendy gangsta rap of the time (Cash money records taking over for the 99 and the 2000’s)

Creed was more post grunge alternative rock. Like a Christian version of Pearl Jam in a way.

LB and KR are very much nu-metal. Or were in 1997-2000

They use formulas to write pop music. Have been for 50 years or more. Rock and country also use them. You use certain keys, chord progressions, time/tempo, and key words in lyrics. It doesn’t guarantee a hit, but the formula hits more often than any other type of songwriting.

The formula that they've been using for the last 25 years is worse than "New Coke".
