Old school is anything made or done previous to the last two generations.

But I'm strange, though I was born in 1950, but I prefer the looks of cars made from mid 1920s through the 30s to the very early 40s, but could never afford the ones I liked, so my car collections I had were from the late 50s to the late 70s. I prefer the older cars to newer ones because they were extremely easy to work on and could do anything on them with just a handful of tools. Once I did just a couple cheap mods to the older cars all the constant tune-ups became a thing of the past. Bright shinny chrome is sorely missing in today's cars.

I like houses built in the very early 1900s, we had one but when my wife could no longer climb stairs, we had to sell it to move to a house built in the early 60s that was a single story, miss the wood working that was in that old house.

Music choices run the gambit but starting in the early 60s going up to present, including certain types of metal music, but no rap.

Most movies I like are from the 1990's till now but there are a few exceptions of movies made in the 60s, mostly those spaghetti westerns.

My bikes range from 1977 to 2013, but I prefer the beauty of lugs and quill stem, with chrome forks and stays era of bikes.

Whenever I go bike camping, or RV camping, I use paper maps and a GPS.

Humans today have forgotten how to do artistry type of work by artisans, they have gone to boring looking industrial looking things that are made cheap and don't last long.
