Kurt Loder helped give MTV some serious music journalism cred when he joined the cable network in 1988 to host their new flagship show The Week in Rock and founded MTV News.

He cut his chops with a storied nine year run at Rolling Stone, and would become the go-to guy for anything music news related on the cable network.

As a result, many Gen-X’ers got all of their music news from Kurt’s mouth, as it was way before the dawn of the internet. Kurt turned 75-year-old on May 5, 2020, and it’s making his audience feel really old themselves now.

The shock of Kurt being the age of most Gen-X’ers parents caught many by surprise, and his name began trending on Twitter in appreciation of his talent.
