All pop music before (your baseline year) as "oldies", either not good or quaint. Definitely outdated.
The only pop music that is creative, progressive, interesting, artful and listenable happened between (your year) and (a year about 20 or so years later, for me the early 80s)
All pop music produced after (your later year) or so is ***** and just doesn't have the quality and creativeness of music produced between those two years of your favorite pop music.

The main symptom of this sort of attitude is when you yell at kids for having fun and making noise "get off my lawn", "kids these days".
