True "old school" or "traditional Taekwondo" is following your biggest seniors. NOT to follow them means you are not old school, even if you think you are practicing some middle block version from 1957. Find out what Kwan you are from, try asking the most senior leaders of that Kwan this question and see what you find out.
Never thought about it that way. Good point. From that perspective, then that would make you and I old school, because our main focus is to seek out, learn from and follow our biggest kwan seniors, including our kwan jang. And then we go and try to share what our big seniors tell us how they wish things to be. What I find strange is that often times there will be some who get really upset about the things we share which were told to us by our big seniors, saying that they are "old school" or "traditional" and therefore they do not need to listen to what we have to say, that we are wrong, that we are being disrespectful. I don't think they realize that you and I really aren't making any of this up, that this stuff we share isn't from us, but rather from the biggest seniors that we have sought out and learned from. So in reality, the angry people aren't fighting with us, they are really arguing and fighting with the biggest seniors. They are simply trying to kill us, because we are the messengers.
