"Original Gangsta Disease":

1) A condition that causes sufferers who "were there" when cool shit went down back in the day to lord said presence at cool shit over the younger generations and consequently downplay the cultural/political contributions of contemporary writers/thinkers/musicians/artists etc.

2) A mental disorder common to aging hipsters who specifically view newer music as entirely derivative and without merit due to its youth.

3) The old (established) being jealous of the young (new). This is often disguised as wisdom.

4) A complex of symptoms known collectively as "'I Was There' Syndrome"

5) The desire to have been associated with a defining cultural moment.

6) The inflation of personal involvement in said defining cultural moment.
