Probably what your Dad said about Metallica as he was cranking up a little Hendrix.

To me old school means to look like how it was when it started, hotrods that were done the way they were in the late 40s and in the 50s, and really for normal bikes to be done in the same years style, and for choppers i would say old school is the late 60s early 70s
at least that is what i think of, now i will bow out

I feel the same about "old school" as I do about classic rock or even oldies. It is, sort of, its own genre. When Led Zepellin and groups like that started, they obviously weren't "classic" they were just rock, but they became classic and will always be classic. Since then the term has come to mean the combination of era and sound. It's weird to me to hear U2 on the classic rock station, they are as old as Zepellin was when they were dubbed classic rock, but it's not the same. Just because a song was written before a certain year doesn't make it classic rock and just doing cover songs by the Stones, Zep, and the like doesn't make you a classic rock band. It takes a formula that young guys like me missed out on and now we cling to it and claim it's "old school". But hey, I like it a lot better than the whole cheater slick back tire bike with a six-figure price tag fad.
I almost feel as though to be genuinely "old school" you'd have to fab up the parts like the "old school" guys did. There's a respect that is demanded in that form that doesn't come from a bunch of bolt on parts and blacked out or Dark Customs factory bikes.
Wait a second, who does this box of soap belong to, and how did I get on top of it?!
