First off let me start by saying I am not the oldest chic on the block, and I’m damn sure not the youngest. I do however see the HUGE difference in what I like to call “Old School Love” and “New School Love”. Me, I’m the “Old School Love” kinda girl. I guess hanging with the old bitties aka “The Wisdom Women” has rubbed off on me. So here’s my take on the Old School verses the New School…
Some of us (including myself) may be a bit too young to know about “Old School Love” and never experienced it. “Old School Love” is like the those Al Green and Marvin Gay songs. When you love… YOU LOVE! That OSL (Old School Love for you slow ones) is the I can’t eat, I can’t breathe, I NEEEED you love. (Pardon me I got chills typing that) OSL is when you go out on a date with your guy or lady to the ice cream polar or to the movies, and catching the bus or walking was the most romantic shit ever! You know nothing too major, nothing too fancy, and you had the best time ever. “Old School Love is that passionate beyond measures, that build and grow love.
Now… The love most of us know these days is what I like to call “Teeny Bopper Love” aka “New School Love”. NSL is the complete opposite of OSL. It’s not genuine love. It’s how much and what I can get out of you before you can “milk” me. It’s “Nigga you better not pull up in anything under 4 years old” love. NSL is all about what material possessions you have instead of who you are as a person. It’s all about the here and now with ”New School Love” instead of starting a foundation, building and growing like “Old School Love”.
As you can obviously see there are many differences between “Old School Love” and “New School Love”. The one difference that will always stick out like a sore thumb is the actual loving and caring part between the two. In my opinion (and it’s just an opinion if you differ good for you) the lack of love and caring (Aside from the cheating hearts) is why most relationships don’t last. If you looked at the “life span” (for a lack of a better word) of “Old School Love” relationships compared to “New School Love” relationships, there’s a HUGE difference.
Just some random food for thought…..

Now that was a good meal!!! LOVES IT… people throw that word out there too quickly… with Old School Love its only used when its a true statement!!! GOOD JOB TINKER
Dope shit. This is beyond true btw. I’m old school love because new school lust leaves you feeling empty & unhappy.
New school lust!! I love it! And I can’t agree with you more on that! Thanks for the love!
Great comparison of the two! And I agree wholeheartedly – New School Love is all about the “right now,” when Old School Love was truly about enjoying (and perhaps hating, when your heart got broken) every minute of it. They were much more emotionally (as opposed to solely financially) invested in the Old School…
