An excuse adults use when they decide to be lazy and not update despite newresearch or new technology that shows a better path. They know better but it leaves the trash of it all to be dealt with by the generation after them. Often used as an excuse among educators, musicians, and churches.
I understand that using brain research results in more students graduating but you know I am from the "old school" way of things. If it was good enough for me should be good enough for them.

Even though the piece of music said 2016 with a Latino beat, the director chose the "old school" style--white status quo.

An old school goth is one who listens to goth rock that was recorded and released from 1979-1985 (the prototype goth era) before the goth subculture embraced techno, goth metal and industrial music. These old school goths do not always wair overtly costly clothing like modern goths and are often be found in more everyday clothing. Old school goths will often listen to bands such as bauhaus, The Cure, The Damned, Siouxsie and The Banshees (in other words, post punk and goth rock) as well as various other genres that influenced or are asscosiated with the early goth movement such as dub, reggae, punk rock, glam rock and genres that influenced early goth rock. Most old school goths never listen to goth metal and certainly object to the commercialism of the goth subculture and fashion as seen by mall punks and mall goths whom don't even listen to goth rock.
Old School Goth: I listen to Bauhuas and siouxsie and the banshees, then I listen to some of Iggy Pop and David Bowie.

New School/Mall Goth: Dude get with the times. listen to marylin manson he's fucking dark and hardcore, eww ya I got the new evanescance CD they're awesome goths.

These people have a live and let attitude, is willing to a help a friend, a neighbor, a stranger. They find impossible to pass up a pan handler with out putting money in their hand. They are general non judge mental but to extent that they could be considered libtards. They are not afraid to stand up and stand against violence, racism, prejudice in all its forms, cronyism, corruption and government ills. They as a rule are anarchists. They don’t like The Man.
