Old School



So, who can describe or define the meaning of "Old School"?

Could it be what today's generation call whack?
Or maybe it's what yesterday's generation have respect for?
Hmm... sounds like something that tomorrow's generation will never know of.

If that's the case, then Old school passes away. Do we renew it or do we let it disappear in the sandstorms of time? That only makes one margin of time worth living, which is the time of right now. Live life to the fullest before you're forgotten I guess.

That's one way of viewing things however, there is an optimistic way of seeing things. Let's define Old School by the history it holds.

See this picture I posted up here? That's a bit of old school. Typography at a bit of a historic time. I'd have to say it has a 1950s feel to it. A type of Jazzy type of style. The teenagers of this area probably favored going to Jazz clubs as opposed to GoGo clubs (I know, sounds discriminatory against time eras. Either I'm a time-ist or a generation-ist... You decide.) It seems interesting, does it not?
