Classic rock is a radio format which developed from the album-oriented rock (AOR) format in the early 1980's. In the United States, the classic rock format features music ranging generally from the mid-1960's to the late 1980's, primarily focusing on commercially successful hard rock popularized in the 1970's. The radio format became increasingly popular with the baby boomer demographic by the end of the 1990's.
Although classic rock has mostly appealed to adult listeners, music associated with this format received more exposure with younger generations of listeners with the presence of the Internet and digital downloading. Some classic rock stations also play a limited number of current releases which are stylistically consistent with the station's sound, or by heritage acts that are still active and producing new music.
