This could be a scene from The Planet of the Apes, especially with that line about music vs. humans evolving.
I strenuously object to the title of the video. I refuse to accept that anything from my teen years could possibly be described as “old” or “vintage”.
Our parents had their music from Middle School/High School marketed back to them 30 years later as “good time oldies”.
The other day, I read someone referring to Firefly as “vintage science fiction”. And if the current year was 1986 and I was reading stuff from 1964, those 22 years would make it “vintage”. But not 2002 to 2024. Those years do not make it “vintage”, because I said so.
Also: get off my lawn.
