Wow, the sheer density of illogic, ad hominem, and goalpost-moving in the comments section.

1. The title of the community implies classic rock as a genre is timeless. You know you will make such claims too.
2. You can’t go around arguing that anything that’s good is classic rock and anything that’s bad isn’t “classic”, both changing the meaning of your terms mid-sentence AND no-true-Scotsmanning
3. Are you really going to argue that anything good is “classic rock” and it’s not about time? Fall Out Boy too?
4. You can’t make statements about my tastes. You don’t know my damn tastes. I shouldn’t need to list my tastes to defend my argument. This isn’t about me, it’s about your stupid genre of music.
5. Yes, we know that Dust in the Wind and Journey are good. I listen to those and some of the other top classic rock too, because they are good. Most of the genre is not timeless though. I also love Nightwish, Linkin Park, Niel Diamond, Jagged Edge, video game comedy-pop, and orchestral soundtracks. Like I said, this isn’t about me, this is about how Tom Petty, Motley Crue, and Deep Purple are lame and terrible.
