When, in your opinion, does a modern rock song expire into a classic rock song? (lemmy.studio)

At this point any rock song the average person would recognize is classic rock. Rock in mainstream music hasn't been a thing for a long time.

Yeah, "classic rock" is more of a genre nowadays, rather than a certain period of time. "Modern rock" is anything that has the standard elements of rock music (i.e. distorted guitars, bass, drums), and if it sounds like the music of the "classic" era, then it's considered classic rock.
