How old must a song be to be considered and "old song"?
- wcarron 5y agoFrom the article: Only songs released in the past 18 months get classified as “new” in the MRC database, so people could conceivably be listening to a lot of two-year-old songs, rather than 60-year-old ones. But I doubt these old playlists consist of songs from the year before last. Even if they did, that fact would still represent a repudiation of the pop-culture industry, which is almost entirely focused on what’s happening right now.
- porterbeats 5y agoAccording to the article, more than 2 years. That seems awfully short, and means music from early 2020 is considered old now by these standards.
