Like how all new metal is nu-metal, right?

Classic rock does not mean old. It's a specific fucking genre. This is like insisting whatever's new must be modernist because it's modern, and old modernism is now post-modern. That's not how words work.

Aerosmith's "Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" was contemporaneous with these albums, and it was classic rock at the time.
