These 2000’s Songs Are Now Considered “Oldies”
It is so hard to believe that 2000 was 21 years ago…
The worst part is how quickly songs from our past become “throwbacks.” Nothing makes me feel older than when a song comes on that I love, and a younger person says, “What is this?”
Twitter recently had a field day with this exact topic. Posting not-so-old songs that they heard playing on their “oldies” radio station. Here are some of the best (and most surprising) 2000s songs that are now apparently considered, “Oldies”

Just heard Outkast's "Hey Ya" on the oldies station. If you need me, I'll be affixing tennis balls to my walker.

Just heard "Yeah!" by Usher on the R&B oldies station right after Mary Wells "My Guy". I'm officially old.

The “oldies” station is playing a song from 2009. Excuse me while I defenestrate myself.
