old school

1. Old School (sp. Ol Skool) is a term that originated sometime in the very early 1990's with the introduction of Hip-Hop (which was the dance anyone could do, originaly consisting of foot-work and had its roots in jazz-funk). Old School refers back to 1984 when break-dancing was at its prime,because so many moves had to be studied and practiced just as one would learn in school.

To "take some-one to school", meant to either teach and instruct them or show by greater example how a move should be properly executed.

Given the new popularity of Hip-Hop in the early 1990's, many of the younger generations only learned how to perform the Hip-Hop moves (those who only knew Hip-Hop were refered to as the New-School).

Note: Anything that took place within the 1990's is refered to as, "back in the day".

2. Old School, Originaly the term was first used to differentiate between Break-Dancing and Hip-Hop.

3. An era that is marked by the very first computer generation; those who had the first personal computers (which soley ran off basic language and consisted of no hard drive) like the CoCo, Commodore, Apple, Pong, etc. This era occured after the baby-boomers of 1945-1965.
Why can I not find some Old School B-Boy movies like,"Beat Street" or "Breakin'" ?

If you want to learn about true break-dancing, you should find some-one who dances Old School.

old-school dubstep

Old-school dubstep generally refers to any dubstep that was made before 2010. The old-school sound is different from modern-day dubstep. An example of old school dubstep would be Burial - Unite.

The sound was characterized by low, deep basslines. It drew heavy influence from dub, which is a subgenre of reggae that originated in the '60s, but it was also highly influenced by '90s and early 2000s UK styles of dance music such as 2-step garage. As with dub, playing the music on good audio equipment is critical to enjoying the music fully because of all of the low frequencies.
Person 1: Is old-school dubstep still being made?
Person 2: Old-school is kind of a historical term, but if you're looking for something dubwise, check out the Deep Medi label.

oldskool poo

The act of visiting the bathroom for defecation purposes, and not taking out your phone to message friends/take selfies/watch porn while you're sat on the bowl.

Instead of staring at a screen while you curl out King Kong's finger, you look around and let your senses take in the surroundings. The faded lung-coloured pants on the radiator. The box of open tampons. The short curly hairs on the soap.

Just like how people used to do, in the days before we all started carrying around phones.
Friend 1: Mate, that was one quick shit! Your logs must fly out of your arse! Either you've got a superfast metabolism or you just got out of prison after being someone's bitch!

Friend 2: Nah, not really. I just went for an oldskool poo, in and out with no distractions.
