| 36552 | When do you consider to be the retro cutoff year | <p>Another indicator of retro is relevance. Is it still relevant today? Or has it been replaced? Look at mobile phones. Brick phones are retro, extending antennae are retro, flip phones are close but not yet plenty of people still have that dinosaur in their pocket, smart phones won't become retro for some time as they are still relevant. Even though the technology is advancing quickly enough to render past year's models obsolete they will not be retro until we are using completely new technology like hologram bracelets or something. Think film or music vinyl, 8 track, cassette, CD, streaming are a progression or reels, 8mm, 13mm, VHS, beta, laserdisc, DVD, blue ray, hd , 4d or whatever. Vinyl records are making a comeback as new retro and the classic vinyl ,8 tracks, or cassettes are definitely retro. Cds on the other hand even though they achieved widespread popularity in the 90s (a retro decade) are not because they are still relevant. </p> | NLogan | Jul 18, 2017 | |
| 36551 | When do you consider to be the retro cutoff year | <p>The same debate is had over classic cars and films. When is a car a classic? They are nearly always age defined as well as iconic of a decade. For film age is also a factor as well as originality and if it is iconic. Because films portray set times within their stories a movie about the 50s or 60s made in the 80s like Stand by Me or 90s The Sandlot are not iconic of the 50s or 60s decades but are well remembered period pieces that are classic based on merit as 80s or 90s films. Some modern films are so good or iconic they are destined to become classics. All that is needed is the passage of time. For our purposes retro and classic are interchangeable. If you could not call something a classic defined by time then it is not retro. If it is a new classic it could be modern retro chic done in a classic style or destined to become classic but not yet. An example would be fidgit spinners. A useless yet prolific toy that has become insanely popular overnight that will become representative of this generation like the rubik's cube or slinky. It is not retro until you can say, "back in the day we had..."</p> | NLogan | Jul 18, 2017 | |
| 36550 | When do you consider to be the retro cutoff year | Love the quality of the discussion here. <div><br></div><div>For me "retro" can mean something out of fashion is now back in fashion again. And that implies absence. Short of a true time machine the internet makes absence moot. </div><div><br></div><div>Everything I experienced for the first 40 years of my life only existed in my memories. The web gave me my past back in a sharable form. When stripped of the absence qualifier, retro can simply mean "cool".<br><div><br></div><div><br></div></div> | eddstarr | Jul 18, 2017 | |

I think what I find difficult is determining anything that might actually fit with your description as it pertains to anything beyond 1999. What from the 2000s will anybody look back on and say "Oh yeah! I had totally forgotten about that!" or see some kind of revival? I think those years still lack anything specific that defined them. Or at least defined them in a meaningful way to our culture as a whole.<br> | Vaporman87 | Jul 18, 2017 | |
