Who defined that term? The radio stations. Artists and labels typically do not use that label, it’s primarily the radio stations.
When classic rock stations started to appear in the '80s, they played popular hits from the '60s–'80s. So it included newly released hits. But when grunge came into the scene in the '90s, it had a different audience than the classic rock stations so they stopped including new hits. For about two decades there, it was fairly unambiguous that classic rock meant popular rock from the '60s–'80s.
After enough time though, grunge was no longer alienating to the classic rock stations listeners. The opposite became true and the stations could increase their audience by including hits from the '90s.
This raises the question: Did those '90s songs become classic rock or is the term fixed and anything not considered classic rock now never going to be considered classic rock? Who gets to define it? The radio stations who originally defined it or the public perception that developed during the period of time when classic rock stopped evolving?
Personally, I prefer to think of classic rock as a radio format rather than a genre, because it doesn’t really behave like a normal genre. If I start a band that sounds like metal then my band is metal, but if I start a band that sounds like classic rock it’s still not classic rock? Why? That feels out of the spirit of music genres to me. There are music movements that are tied to a specific time period—my band could never be part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal—but it could be in the same genre as those bands.
In terms of music style, how are AC/DC and Billy Joel considered the same genre? They’re wildly different. The Who and The Doors? Very different.
The reason those bands are considered classic rock is not because they sound similar, it’s because they target similar audiences. As a radio format, it makes way more sense why some bands are considered classic rock and some aren’t.
For millions of years, human teenagers were actually unable to decline any invitations from strangers. It wasn’t until the 1980s that Nancy Reagan made the most shocking discovery in the entire history of human psychology. Teenagers could, in fact, just say “no”.
Cocaine and meth are schedule 2 and ketamine is schedule 3, but when I went through DARE they still got lumped in with all the schedule 1 drugs.

It’s contextual. If it’s used in a phone number, it’s a pound sign. If it’s placed before a number, it’s a number sign. If it’s placed before a tag, it’s a hash/hashmark/hashtag.
No one would pronounce “#foo” as “pound foo” any more than they’d call a #2 pencil a “pound two pencil”. Because “pound” is clearly not the right name in either context.
Americans have been comfortable using different names for the symbol in different contexts since long before hashtags even existed. So when websites started using them and referred to them as “hashtags”, that was fine. It was a new context so it could use whichever name it wanted. (Well, “octothorpe-tag” is probably far too unwieldy to catch on.)
Of course if we’re talking about the symbol without a specific context, then we have to pick one of the names. For most Americans, that “default” name is probably still “pound”. Twenty years ago I’d definitely say that, but even then it wasn’t ubiquitous. It wasn’t uncommon to hear it referred to as a hash. And it seems like the use of “pound” has declined and the use of hash has increased as people now spend more time online and less time dialing phone numbers. There’s also a generational divide with older people more likely to say “pound” and younger people more likely to say “hash”.

The initial wave of attention probably would have happened anyway, but when it was later revealed that the school had paid a bunch of money in an attempt to get the images removed from the Internet that just brought a second wave of attention to the incident.
I’m looking forward to tripping balls with Tarin in the Mysterious Forest.

I remember in-store dining at Little Caesars in the '90s but nowadays all the ones I know of are takeout only.
People seem to have this view that everyone in the '60s was a hippie but that’s just not true. Time Magazine put the number around 300,000. In a country of 200 million, that’s only 0.15% of the population. They were a counterculture not mainstream culture. The vast majority of kids did not become hippies, and many actively hated the hippies.

I haven’t used Eleaf, but I’m very happy with my Vuber. My first one was still going strong after 5+ years until I unfortunately lost it and had to buy a replacement.
Are you implying that my math professors do not think math and logic are important just because they used ≠

How could you split out steam deck revenue from PC revenue? If I buy a $30 game on steam, is that $30 for PC or for the steam deck/handheld? Or does it get split between the two based on how hours I play on PC vs steam deck (and how would that work if I never actually play the game)?
Personally I don’t think it’s worth having a handheld category at all. If I bought a Gameboy game for $30 but I actually played it on a super Gameboy instead of a Gameboy then it’s not technically handheld either. Just call the Gameboy a console and the steam deck a PC.
I knew “copse” from Dark Souls 2.
