    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.
