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

A big factor I feel is the artists themselves touring.

If the band has a hiatus, gets back together for a last tour, they're probably classic rock. If the band has a dead member and isn't replacing them, they're probably classic rock.

It's sad that Sublime, Alice in Chains, Linkin Park, and Soundgarden are all in this classic-rock-to-be state only because each band had so much life left in them. And well...

Now they're probably classic rock.
