Is there a time spread for "my generation" for the 60's. Born from what year
to what year?

I know there is a huge year-spread for the baby boomers.

Nope - you're old when your mind makes promises your body refuses to keep.

As example - I'm going to "party" till the wee hours of the morning. About
10:00 PM your body says "oh ya! Watch this!"

I was born in the 50s. For me, "my generation" started when I got my
first guitar in 1963.

to add the new one<sigh>

Are the decades of 20's 30's 40's considered "oldies" or isn't that just
toooo old? I don't know that they do refer to those decades as far as music
goes, 'oldies,' do they? Isn't it the "Big Band Era" and some other type
names? I think perhaps the 50's is about as far back as the 'oldies' go.

Dimitri, you are practically a baby if you can stay up until 10:00 PM
and party until then.

How about falling asleep between eight and nine, while watching your
favorite baseball team or your favorite TV program? That's being old.
Or remembering hearing of films that were proudly advertised as
"Sound" films, while others were obviously still silents. That's
being old.
Or remembering a vacation in a hotel in the Austrian Alps with the
family and when there was a thunderstorm, the electric lights would go
out and the proprietor would hand out petroleum lamps to the guests.
That same hotel still had chamber pots for each guest, as there was
only one toilet on each floor. That's being old.
Or going on winter vacations to another hotel and being picked up at
the railroad station by sleighs, pulled by two horses. That's being old.
My grandparents had a carriage and two horses in their summer place,
until about 1930. When they got a automobile, they kept the horses,
until one year they were gone. The gardner/chauffeur/whatever,
wouldn't tell the children what had happened to them. He only told us
that they were in a much better place. The carriage was still in the
garage when we left the country in 1938.

If I keep this up, you will realize how young you are. :o)

You know your old when your favorite Barbie is now called "antique" and sell
for $8,000. But your mom tossed it w/ the other trash (mostly your little
brothers baseball cards)

You know you're old when.....

"Youngters" in general start addressing you as "Tannie" (Auntie) e.g.
can I get that door for you, Tannie? Would you like a wheelchair,
Tannie? Can I help you cross the road, Tannie?

50's and 60's music, on the other hand, could be considered "cool".
Look how many re-mixes are out there? 😉

Cheers
Cathy (Tannie) xyz

Music of the 30s and 40s was The Big Band Era - maybe spilling over into the
early 50s a bit.

I think you are right, the 50s is as far back as I have heard referred to as
oldies; probably 'cause it was first applied in the 60s to early Rock 'n
Roll On the local R'nR stations in the 60s, they'd toss in a "moldy oldy"
every now and then and Sunday night (maybe it was Friday, one night a week
anyway) was all "moldy oldies". To bring it back to food; we liked Little
Richard's Tutti Frutti, and Bill Haley would admonish his baby to "get out
in the kitchen and rattle those pots and pans". And you know, sometimes I
do "feel like a one eyed cat peepin' in a seafood store".

Later gator; time to go find the turntable and records, or 8-track player
and tapes, for a little music while makin' dinner.

In the Twin Cities (and probably elsewhere) there are bands devoted to
the rock of various decades. Some are devoted to 90s rock.
