Why not argue about it? It's a music board. We can debate about terms referring to music. Resorting to "it's my opinion, leave me alone!" is retarded. Explain your opinion, support your side. I'll support mine, and we learn from each other.

Stop taking disagreements so personal, people.
No one's taking it personal. I'm just telling you all it will get nowhere because people inevitably resort to "it's my opinion, leave me alone!". With something like this there's no real ground to solidify your arguments on, beside perhaps mainstream perception, but in this case even that is divided. So basically, you will say "80s was old school, 90s is golden age", someone else will say "no, everything pre 2000 was old school", and conan will say
