As someone who adores the “classics” from the years earlier than the year I was born, I cling to these classics ’cause I was brought up by these (most especially in music preferences) I find this new trends rather odd. But I’m not so classic enough to turn them down, though.

“Classics stand the test of time without having to pander to the changing fashions of the day.”

Absolutely agree to this one.

Actually there’s a difference when people say act mature and ‘act like your age’. I interpret the latter as a call for social conformity. Play golf instead of Mass Effect, quit the anime club and join the bridge club.

I often feel the same way whenever I listen to the radio and I hear all these artists dishing out their own renditions of OPM classics such as… “Pare Ko” and Rivermaya’s “Ulan”. Gasp. LEL.

It makes me feel old (Pare Ko was popular when I was in Grade 6. IT’S BEEN THAT LONG????). However, it also makes me realize the same thing that you pointed out. That classics are those that manage to somehow still make it through in one piece over the years.

Judges and other lawyers have trouble taking me seriously because I look like a kid. -> I can relate with you here. An old lady once mistook me for an elementary student and in my past job interviews, the HRs presume I’m still in college even without looking at my CV. Thank you very much.

Should you grow up? Hmmm… I always think should I mature? Being an otaku and being mature can co-exist and of course never let go of that kid in you. It makes you proactive and I prefer that. ^_^

Classics enhance one's appreciation of recent works. Order 66 becomes a lot more fun when Michael Corleone executes it.
