In the late 80s/early 90s, alotta 70s music
was considered "ol skool"...
So how in the hell is a 20+ yr old song
not old school today? This isn't a new
phenomenon.
Unless you've always hated the "old school"
tag, I don't see why this would start now,
unless people in here are right about you
just not dealing well with aging.

Those artists are also old school, just like
Sam Cooke and Rick James are both old school
despite being about 20 yrs apart in prime.
The "old school" tag is just fresher on one
of them.
