The term "Classic Rock" is way too broad of a term for it not to include '80s and '90s music eventually.
Thats odd. Ive lived in 7 different states, 9 different cities and I have yet to hear a classic rock station play 90s for more than a single hit song from the era to keep its small 90s fan base active. I think some bands of the 80s deserve to be called classic, like Journey and Motley Crue and Iron Maiden as someone said... But not metallica and green river Pixies and the misfits and the melvins. Maybe thats just me, but I lump mid-late 80s rock with the grunge scene and riot girl movement, defined by the 90s. And seeing as how I was born in the 90s, I guess I just dont want to be called classic, it sounds lie obsolete or inferior and that music makes me feel nihilistic and apathetic but not in a hipstery egotistical I-know-everything kinda way. Just my thoughtsI thought that 80s and 90s bands were already considered "Classic Rock"
Most of the radio stations and stuff I know that "exclusively" plays Classic Rock tend to play 80s bands like Motley Crue, Poison, etc. and 90s bands like Nirvana, Soundgarden, etc
