Now before I explain I should say: this is my opinion, none of what I say matters so it’s not the end of the world if you disagree. Boom

What is an old head

Put these cheeks on your face.

Now, Old head is a term we all are familiar with, but, Old Head doesn’t actually have a definition, trust me, I googled that shit. I mostly got urban dictionary but that’s slang. There’s no quality definition for old Head. But most people define old Head as:

People who made music or listened to mystic in the 80’s 90’s And early 2000’s.

What is an old head

That’s what I personally consider an old Head, People who made music in that era. I don’t consider that old Head a sign of disrespect. I consider it a sign of acknowledging the music you made or liked in your time. Like Eminem, Tupac, Biggie, Nas People who made music in the 90’s. And people who enjoy music in that time.

But people tend to use it to shit on old people who hate New Age music, and I can see why. But we shouldn’t consider them “Old heads” we should just consider them people who can’t accept change.

Now for all the people who dislike New Age music. This is dedicated to you.

1: you don’t have to like new music, your taste is your taste. What you enjoy should be what you want.

2: things change, shit evolves, music has evolved, if you consider that shit had, that’s fine, if you consider it good, that’s cool too. But you can’t stay bitter forever because I’m sure mumble rap is going to be considered “Old” music in the future. And then we’ll complain about the next music trend.

Now this isn’t to defend bad mumble rap, I don’t condone anyone to make a SoundCloud as if you can actually Rap on beat

What is an old head

*Cough* *Cough* respect his crimpin. . Cause he raps so good the beat is offbeat

But, all jokes aside. Music will evolve and change is inevitable. I just don’t think we should use old Head as an insult rather a sign of acknowledgement of the past legends in music.

And let’s be honest.

Calling the people who complain about this era music “Old heads” is giving them more respect than they deserve.

Get the Old Head mug.

There comes a time in a man's life, when the run has come to an end. The ride has slowed and it's time to get off.

An "Old Head" is the guy who doesn't want to get off the ride just yet and stays for another lap, but that lap isn't what he thought it was going to be. It's different, there are new people, new things and all the shit that was important then, has now changed. An Old Head still won't quit the game, even at this stage, even if he has to adjust to fit in. It's not as fun as it was, not as exciting and his clout slowly starts to fade to vapor and his name becomes a memory, like "you remember that dude..."

Once it reaches this stage, an Old Head has two options. Either get out like he should and hang up his boots, or he can stay and become "That Old Guy in the Club". If he stays and becomes The Old Guy In The Club, he is then no longer an Old Head.

While an Old Head might be hard to watch, or uncomfortable, it's not the most messed up thing in the world. Each of you will get there and each of you will laugh about it now, with no idea that you'll ever get there, but you will.

Sometimes an Old Head might need a kick in the butt for him to wake tf up and know it's time, but don't hate.

Part of history dies, each time an Old Head gets out da game.

It's rough bruh, seein' an Old Head like that.

Respect.

An old person who hates today's generation of rap music and thinks their generation of rap music is the best type of music to ever exist. They will constantly bash new generation rappers labeling them as mumble rappers and when you fight back saying "everyone has their own taste, what if I didn't like your generation" they get all defensive and lose their temper.

(Old Head walks up to a group of teens blasting Migos through their speakers) Old Head: "Turn that shit off! Their lyrics make no sense and it hurts my ears!" Teen 1: "Sorry, you old virgin, but kids like us actually get invited to parties."

Old Head: "In my day of hip-hop music, lyrics made sense! Goddammit, now we have gay mumble rappers like Lil Uzi Vert and Young Thug wearing dresses and making godawful music!"


Teen 2: "Your parents probably hated your music while you were growing up, they were probably the type to say '2pac and Biggie are BAD role models!' or something. And bro, Uzi and Thugger got their own fashion statements. Once again, I bet when you were our age watching rap music videos your mom would be like: 'Why does everyone dress like a gangster? It's sick!'" Old Head: "Maybe they did, but that's not the point! The POINT IS THAT YOU ARE LUCKY I DON'T SLAP YOU FOR DISSING 2PAC AND BIGGIE! THEY PAVED THE WAY FOR ALL THESE NEW RAPPERS YOU GODDAMN KIDS LISTEN TO!"

Teen 3: "Yo, calm down. We didn't wanna fuck you up for dissing Migos. Why so defensive? Besides, he didn't even diss 2pac and Biggie, he just said your parents probably didn't like them which was true. And 2pac and Biggie did not pave the way for our generation, Lil Wayne did. Let's bounce, I can't with these old heads."

Alot of people think being an Old Head has something to do with age, with is wrong. Being an Old Head is about your mentality. For example, a 14 year old kid wears extremely baggy clothing in 2018 and think hes being fashionable, that makes him an Old Head.
Nowadays Old Head is mainly used in Hip Hop, and they are extremely annoying.

Old Head 14 year old: Damn! Nowadays Hip Hop sucks! i wish Hip Hop could be like it was in the 90's!

Normal 14 year old: Man that Thugga sounds fire! Skrt!
