Welcome to the Old School Giveaway Hop, hosted by Mama the Fox!
I’m not sure whether to ask “What is Old School?” or instead “Why does the stuff we remember so fondly become ‘Old School’ so damn fast?” And I think it’s the second question, dammit.
The music I listened to in high school is now ‘Classic Rock’, at least when it isn’t ‘Yacht Rock’, a designation whose name doesn’t make as much sense as I wish it did. The games that introduced me to computer gaming are so old school they need even more adaptation to play now than they did then – and don’t get me started on ‘boot disks’ because OMG that was such trial back in the day.
A huge part of what made Ready Player One – the book at least – so much fun for so many people, including moi – was that it made Old School seem new again – or at least took me back to when it was new and so was I.
What’s your favorite example of ‘Old School’ or what does that term mean to you? You know the drill about the rafflecopter and what you’ll get if you win, so have at it!

For me, ‘Old School’ is stuff that was popular, now living in the shadows of something else. A lot of it was popular for a reason and could therefore come back into popular (or has never left it for some people).
I’m definitely more old school than a lot of people. I still use Cds, and some cassettes. I like golden age movies, vintage tv, and physical photographs and keyboards. I miss ‘old school’ 90s French fries- before they made fast food places change to healthier oils.
Hope you have a safe Labor Day weekend 🙂 !
