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 painting is called "children's games" by Bruegel (1560) btw if anyone's curious. My favorite snippet is this one right here

Kids putting their head in each other's crotch area as other children jump over their back.

It's still a pretty popular game in modern day Turkey called "Uzun Esek"
