At what point will Rocky Martin's 1999 hit "Livin' la Vida Loca" be considered an 'oldie'? (slrpnk.net)

Never. Because the term oldie has become really heavily associated with specific decades moreso than how old they are. That said, I think based on the amount of time it's one. I remember them saying "oldies" about from from the '70s like twenty years ago.

My history professor in college used to always say that anything in the past thirty years isn't history, it's news. I'm not necessarily sure I agree, but it's an interesting perspective. I'm not sure it's relevant here lol but maybe sort of.
