Valid age for being "old school"...

**TH3M B0N3Z** · 04-11-2013, 06:33 PM

What's a proper or valid age to consider yourself "old school"? I'm 26 at the end of this month, and I oftentimes consider myself old school. Pretty much all the music I listen to ranges from the 60's to the early 2000's and I really can't stand anything after that. Today's music is just plain garbage... at least what you see on MTV or hear on the radio. I'm into heavy metal though, bands like Metallica, Slayer, etc. and then I listen to Elton John, STP, SRV, and then back to Slayer and then the Lord of the Rings soundtrack, LOL... and Batman.

Jesucristo, I'm rambling. So, music-wise, I consider myself old school. Oh... and I don't even have a smart phone... never had one and can hardly work one, lol. I have a simple slide style phone, unlimited calls and texts, dropped the thing so many times and it still rings and wakes me up every damn morning for work.

But is 26 too young to be old school? Am I making sense...

"Old school" is definitely a vibe....no age requirement or limitation. Good for you.

Hmm... I wonder if I put off that vibe or do I just think I do? LOL.

I even love old movies. Just watched Predator the other night, lol. I saw the new Hobbit movie and that's the last movie I've been to. I love the LOTR and Hobbit movies. But I'm not into these remakes of classic films and all. Jurassic Park 3D? Come on. I love JR, makes me feel like a kid again every time I watch it, but the 3D thing is running dry, I think. Seems like nobody has any good ideas. Sometimes I think of JAWS being remade... but they'd just eff it all up and make it all extremely gory.

You know your old school when your favorite songs are being called "classics".

My favorite era of heavy metal is from the 80's to the early 90's. Wish I grew up then...

I played guitar from 16 to 20-21, but I've slacked off to not playing whatsoever. Thought I'd always keep that up. Detailing is my favorite hobby so far. I wonder if that'll get old someday?

Man, some good lumbo back then, eh? lol :wink:

People always remember/consider the good stuff, but you're forgetting all the hardships and turmoil going on back then...

Ah, the good old days. lol

Be young while you can, man...

Eh, occasionally. They actually dropped the "Music" part of their name. Guess M stands for Moronic. Moronic Television. That's about what it is...

But whatever music they do play, it's garbage. I don't mind a little bit of rap if it's old school like Snoop Dogg, etc., but today's rap is just ridiculous. It sounds like dance music with rap lyrics... like techno dance music.

Sometimes I feel like an old soul. God... I'll be terrible when I'm really old.
