At the same time, claiming "old school" status could simply be an expression of every generation's tendency to stereotype the younger generation as weak and lazy.
This was back on the first page, and is, IMO, a perfect definition.
The very reason we say “school” rather than just “old,” is to recognize the mastery, the discipline, and the teachers. Old is just that kid who lived down the street who could ride a wheelie better than anyone, old school is honoring the wisdom instilled in a comment by an ex-pro to you after a bunch sprint, even though it may not have been complimentary.
