Do you consider "retro" to be a specific time period or anything 20+ years old? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

We have modernism and also post-modernism that are tied to a specific range of dates. I'm wondering if people feel the same way for "retro"

Retro shifts. What was new will eventually become retro, but not at the same rate for everyone.

Kids today probably think the 2010s are retro. I would consider my childhood, 80s 90s, retro. My parents would probably set the "retro bar" even earlier then that.

I know that. My phone doesn't always. Proofreading before posting is a privilege, and today you didn't get it.

Or if you wanted to go with succinct, "fucking autocorrect"

I got heart attack reading you sentence only to realize the period after “always”.
