So...

In Back To The Future (1985), Marty McFly travels back to 1955 and refers to the popular music of the time as "oldies".

I'm sorry to do this to all my compatriots growing up in early-90s Germany, but that means Snap, RMB, Haddaway, 2 Unlimited, Technotronic, Rednex, Mark 'Oh, Scatman John, Technohead, Whigfield, Culture Beat etc. are all Oldies now.

Also anyone around Marty McFly's age when the movie came out is now like a decade away from retirement.

I don't make the rules

In an old folks' home not too long from now: "ah, they always calm down when songs from their childhood start playing" (as Pump Up The Jam comes on the playlist)

@rygorous Nothing like the old fashioned melodies like Fuck Tha Police.

What's that Mister Flav? Why yes it probably is time for your nap.
