13029578, I recently said this because someone mentioned "Oldies" to me

I was doing a party, and the girl throwing it asked me to play "Oldies".....to me, "Oldies" = 60's Lowrider music, maybe even Motown. But then she mentioned 80's acts like Loose Ends and Roger & Zapp, and I'm like.....that's "Old School" but not "Oldies."

To me, "Oldies" are the 60's. "Old School" is 70's and 80's, Rap, Funk, Soul. The 90's are...90's. The connotation of "Old School" just doesn't match the 90's, Soundwise or even style/culturally.
