None of those artists called their music “classic” rock…. It is basically older styles of something, there is no defined time, but 30 years sounds about right.
Right, well they couldn’t have. Just like it wasn’t called World War One until the second one happened. But after rock as a genre was founded, the classic version of it should always be just that. So are you saying that that A) Led Zeppelin is no longer classic rock or B) Led Zeppelin and Pearl Jam are the same genre?
Just like it wasn’t called World War One until the second one happened.
The world war was still the world war, that’s not even a parallel example……
I’m saying that it’s arbitrary and in 10 years another decade will be added since it used to mean the 60s, then it meant 60s-70s, then it went the 60-80s. It now includes the 90s and has shifted away from 60s.
It’s entirely stupid to define what has always been an arbitrary genre, since no one calls their own music classic.

Except by people who were either psychic or extremely pessimistic.

“Classic rock” encompasses all types of rock. The only factor that defines it is popularity and time.
