Old Stuff / New Stuff

It really depends on your definition of old.

Like others, I prefer new technology, especially computer games. Graphics have just gotten so much better, though there are still games like the first Neverwinter Nights that I'll always love better than any new game. Which wasn't that bad graphics-wise anyways, at least not compared to Baldur's Gate or compared to older games that had pixels the size of my head.

New music largely sucks (though there is some good new stuff coming out as well, just seems to be fewer and further between), and I prefer metal from the 80's and early 90's (and no I'm not talking about that abomination called glam metal, lol). Same goes for old school punk, and I'm also a big fan of classical music up to about the 1940's. Newer classical music post-WWII just isn't all that interesting, and these days often seems to revolve around who can be more "eclectic" than the next guy...which actually seems to be a mentality plaguing every genre these days. Newsflash, it ain't "progressive music" if everyone and their dog is doing the same damned thing.

Overall, I'm in love with medieval history and always have been, and with anything pre-1900 to a lesser degree, so, like I said, it depends on what you consider "old."

As far as ideas, philosophy etc. it's a combination of both old and new.
