The same tired old thing repeated endlessly. Where shitty pop music comes and goes, classic rock stays, and decays forever.
I have nothing against the people who listen to it, nor do I have a problem with the music itself(however stale it may be), but it seems today, everyone who I meet who enjoys classic rock is a pretentious asshole. People like to say that it's so amazing because it's the foundation of today's music. So now we have someone to hold responsible for the shit on our radio's. Oh, and every single station is an oldy station. How about someone grows a backbone and shows the crowd something new and unheard of.
I, personally, am tired of being judged by these conceited pricks, because "my music is not up to par" with theirs. Deep Purple sucks. ACDC blows. If the people who listen to this would stop critiquing today's music long enough to realize that people were saying the same shit about the music they listen to THREE decades ago, maybe they'd stop being so stuck up.
Creation is not creation unless it's never been done before. Without out originality, creation is meerly a repeat of what's been done before. This is probably why our generation is void of any distinguishing characteristics, because we thieve off the prior. Classic Rock is the same as Rap, and people need to get with the times, wize up a little, see a local show, promote local arts and creation, and maybe, just maybe, we can add a little colour to this bland world of ours.

"My Classic Rock vinyls are far superior to an mp3."
"Is that mold?"
"Why yes, but it only adds value to my mint "Welcome to My Nightmare" Album by Alice Cooper. It's limited print you know."

Perhaps the greatest and most inspirational genre of music, classic rock is also known as "Hair Metal". The name "Hair Metal" originated because of bands like Mötley Crüe, Van Halen and others. The enormous hair and skin tight leather pants, lyrics about girls and booze, and "fuck you" attitude is what sums up a classic rock band. Such bands were mostly popular in the 80's, but continue to live on in the hearts of many metalheads today.
Bands like Guns N' Roses, AC/DC, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Twisted Sister, and Def Leppard are all classic rock bands. Classic rock will forever live on.

Noun: A disease which causes ordinary people to become asshats who only listen to classic rock and claim it is the only good music ever made. A common factor of this disease is the individual being very unknowing about music and just listening to AC/DC and Queen. Commonly found in 12 year old boys on Youtube comment chains and in middle aged men. Can only be cured through maturity and respect for the opinions of others.
12 year old victim with Classic Rock Elitism "ZOMG modern music sux i love Ac/dC so much, and Im only 12."
Middle Aged victim (usually delusional and wrong)with Classic Rock Elitism: "I used to listen to classic rock artists like Nirvana and The Beastie Boys. Stupid kids and your Lady Gaga."

A person who loves the musical genre classic rock, which includes bands such as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, The Doors, ACDC, and The Who. They are uninterested in modern music. Sometimes, they are of the opinion that any new music is terrible, in other cases they admit that some of it is good, it just doesn't interest them. Often times they find themselves pretending to love the new alternative band their friend is showing them while wishing they were at home listening to The White Album. Many classic rock junkies are afraid to admit they are indeed a classic rock junkie for fear of being called narrow-minded.
