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"

The makes sense, like "retroactive" meaning going back to. In that case, maybe retro gaming means to go back to games that you have played in your childhood? Words are used by people and sometimes they don't make much sense.
