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"

Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 can be considered Retro, and by that extension all the games from its era. Both released about 20 years ago, discontinued 10 years ago and since then 2 generations of new consoles appeared. But games like GTA 5 that are developed, re-released and sold to this day, I wouldn't consider that game to be Retro. And that's one of the problems with evergreen running games.
