Old School, also known as Old Guard, relates a lot of BDSM activities and fashion to the gay leather boys, biker gangs, tough-edged dykes, and other "rough trade (as it was also called) who were into whips and chains, forced sex, gang bangs, etc. back when kinky was really outlaw sex. Old School can also be used to describe the hardcore play these people engaged in and there wasn't an emphasis on long-term relationships, just mostly one-night stands so to speak. These days Old School can include these as well as the "Me, Master, you, slave" attitude about relationships, where as New School, New Age BDSM (or whatever anyone may call it) places a stronger emphasis on long-term committed relationships, contractual TPE, respect for subs/slaves as individuals.mentoring, and deeper communication between participants (as opposed to the "Keep your mouth shut and just do what I tell") which typified Old School.

Hope this helps!
