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"

@anamethatisnt@sopuli.xyz made a good point here and I tend to agree. It's more about something being gone and brought back. How long does it take for something to be considered gone? At the very least, I wouldn't consider something retro if it can still be easily purchased via official channels (never gone).
