    Im not sure what you’re getting at, but “old” and “contemporary” generally imply opposing time frames. “Old” refers to something from the past or of considerable age, suggesting it’s not recent or modern. “Contemporary,” however, means existing or occurring at the present time, indicating modernity or current relevance. Thus, calling something both “old” and “contemporary” would be contradictory, as it would imply it is simultaneously from the past and the present.

      Not that it matters, but I think they’re using “old” as in “tired” or “overdone”. But their comment still reads as if from someone who likes the smell of their own farts.
