I'm I officially old now? Songs l listened to in high school are now being used for embarrassing commercials

One was for Welch’s Juices (specifically branded for kids).

They used a heavily edited version of this song:

Also saw a CARMAX commercial featuring this song and Chamillionaire himself:

What is going on?

Are all these ad executives now old millennials like me and honestly can’t think of anything else or are they trying to get the attention of people my age?

They all need to watch a few season of Mad Men and get inspired.

I feel old.

Haha!

I forgot how funny and original(ish) the Ms. New Booty video was.

Pretty good stuff.

Come to me when they’re playing music from your teens on the classics station and in the grocery store.

I was just going to say the same thing about the local oldies station.

Some of you guys are saying that you are old, but you aren’t

Now I’m headed for 60 next June
That’s pretty old

Old is a bit of a perspective, @Wave . You too, are young compared to my parents. They would likely say the same about you.

My mom frequently says “you’re still young”, as an excuse to try to get me to do something. I’m like “wtf are you talking about, I’m old”.

I know I’m old as songs from the 90s are now being sampled and put into new songs as the target audience has never heard of them.

Remember bittersweet symphony by the verve?

My daughter referred to Tifanny’s “I think we’re alone now” as classical music.

She’s a punk.

Each child you have adds to your perceived elderly status. With 6 and one about to turn 30, me being grandma 3 times, I don’t care if I’m just under 50, I feel ooooold.

I’m older than all of you and I love it that my music I grew up on is considered classic rock…makes me feel old, yes, but it also takes me back.
