A person who listens to old goth music (From the 80s), like Deathrock (Christian Death, Alien Sex Fiend, Specimen), Post-Punk (Bauhaus, Siouxsie and The Banshees, Joy Divison), Gothic Rock (The Sisters of Mercy, Fields of The Nephilim, Rosetta Stone) and maybe some New Wave (Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, Soft Cell), or anything related to the Batcave.

Old School aesthetics are punkish and cheesie, dark and sometimes elegant or sofisticated, but you don't have to dress goth to be goth.

They have no philosophy, nor a lifestyle, the only thiing that makes them a subculture is the music. Metal, Nu Metal, Industrial, EBM, or related genres are not included. Psychobilly, Horror Punk, Darkwave, New Wave and No Wave are related genres to goth, but generally are not considered goth, except for some Darkwave (Sopor Aeternus) and No Wave (Lydia Lunch) bands.

Goth music is not only music from the 80s, we have many groups from the 90s and 00s making goth music, like Naughty Zombies, Cinema Strange, Diva Destriuction, Joy Disaster, Faith and The Muse, Bat Attakk, London After Midnight, Two Witches, Frank The Baptist, All Gone Dead, etc...

Old School Gaming is the way that real Old School Gamers play The One True Game the Original Dungeons & Dragons in the real authentic old school way. This is the only legitimate application of the term Old School Gaming.

The way that our parents used to discipline us when we misbehaved now considered as so called "Child Abuse" by a bunch of whiny sissies who do not have a bloody clue in how to deal with unruly children.
I think the parents should give that little brat some Old School Discipline instead of giving that brat timeout!

A way of thinking that throws back to a past time when respect and fellowship were more important than material possessions or posturing.

A biker with grease under his nails, a need for the road to stretch out in front of him but without a care for destinations. This does not depend on the brand he straddles or even his age.

More often than not you can define them by what they are not. You will not find them hanging around a starbucks, ice cream stand or trendy new spot.

Their bikes will only be put on a trailer by a repo man.

They ride in the rain and snow.

They recognize that OCC, Arlen Ness, Roland Sands and Bourget are great American Artisans... but they don't build anything worth riding.
Look at that dirty Nomad, talk about old school.

It takes a real old school biker to put chains on his tires and make a beer run in a snow storm.

Used when referring to early rap music, usually between 1970 and 1997-ish.
Primary focuses of old school rap are usually more docile than that of newer rap, focusing on simply hanging out, or looking for women, rather than glorifying crime and prostitution. The artists typically proclaim themselves 'drug free'.
"These are some kickin' jams!"
"That's old school rap at it's best!"
