I think in this case "old fashioned" is that mind set we got sometime over the age of 30.

You are applying English values to a completely different language. There is no "like" or "dude" in Japanese. Without speaking Japanese it is difficult to understand.
There is really no use of "like" or "dude" such as this in English either. This particular Slang makes a bad impression on many adults in English and you certainly would make a bad impression in Japanese if there is an equivalent.


Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life.
