| 36566 | When do you consider to be the retro cutoff year | Kids from the late 90s and 2000s have the resurgence of the home video game craze with multiple consoles and the Disney renaissance with new animated Disney films, Friends, Seinfield, Harry Potter, Pixar films, UFC, Pride Fighting, technology explosion, wikipedia, MySpace, usb flashdrives replacing floppy discs, 9/11, ipod, reality television, guitar hero, Shrek, Spider-Man, Gladiator, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Pirates of the Caribbean, Shaun of the Dead, The Bourne films, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Moulin Rouge, The Lord of the Rings films, SpongeBob, Hanna Montana, South Park, the Office, Twilight books, The Road, the Kite Runner, Da Vinci Code, Survivor,etc. There are a lot of things good or bad that are iconic for that period that will become retro after they are 20 years old.<br> | NLogan | Jul 18, 2017 | |
| 36565 | When do you consider to be the retro cutoff year | For 2000-2009 I would revert to the 20 year rule. I would not round up an entire decade but as the decade went on past the 20 year mark I could be persuaded like with the 90s but only in the last half of the 2020s. Up to 2005 is debatable on a case by case basis based on merit, iconic of the decade, or personally life changing for the sake of good stories to tell. As far as we are concerned for this website it is not really up to us but up to Vapor. He has already allowed several stories and articles to creep in that were not retro with his photogsmurf approval stamp but in the end he sets the parameters. For me retro would be within living memory of the decades 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. Anything prior obviously is old but there are few with living memories of the 40s that are on forums like these and none from the turn of the 20th century to the 1930s. The 2000s I would deal with on a case by case basis and generally stick to the 20 year rule so in 2020 the year 2000 is retro etc. I of course am biased because I was already an adult and got married in the year 2000 so it doesn't seem like that long ago to me. My kids were born in the 2000-2009 decade and I don't consider anything about their childhoods retro unless it was from my childhood that I introduced to them.<br> | NLogan | Jul 18, 2017 | |
| 36564 | A Candy Crush game show. | The Candy Crush game show continues to dissatisfy viewers. I guess I was wrong about a second season. | Mr Magic | Jul 18, 2017 | |

If he tries to imitate Robin Williams, he'll pale in comparison to Robin's performance. If he makes the role his own, it'll still most likely not be as good as Robin's performance, but I personally find that to be the lesser of two evils.</div> | Superman | Jul 18, 2017 | |
| 36561 | When do you consider to be the retro cutoff year | <span style="font-style: normal;">I've thought a bit more about this subject since my first post. I think the first big wave of nostalgia occurred during the '70s with '50s inspired movies and shows such as </span><i>American Graffiti</i>, <i>Happy Days</i>, and <i>Grease</i>. The earliest of those three, <i>American Graffiti</i>, came out 14 years after the last year of the '50s. Using that example as a guide, I'd estimate that the years of 2000-2009 will become undeniably retro once 2023 hits. | Superman | Jul 18, 2017 | |
| 36560 | Space Camp | I think Space Camp should be made for adults. too. If adults can't be astronauts, they should at least know what it's like to be one. | Mr Magic | Jul 18, 2017 | |
| 36559 | When do you consider to be the retro cutoff year | Very well said, NLogan.<div><br></div><div>I think in general, a lot has changed in technology since the year 2000. HDTVs has been taking over, and currently replacing standard definition, if it hasn't fully done that already, digital distribution has been taking over, and replacing game discs, DVDs, and CDs. Cellphones have come a long way since the introduction to the original iPhone. These are some examples of what I look at, and see what can be retro.</div><div><br></div><div>And while you could make the argument that "the internet makes everything less retro", I feel like even that has changed since the year 2000. A lot has changed over the years that has people, even including myself looking back at it. MySpace is an example of that. While I haven't personally used MySpace, that's a site I see people look back on as that used to be popular at one point, and the site ended up being all but dead now (it's still around, but ended up being revamped into some music site. A complete shell of what it used to be). There's also been evolutions in web design. Especially with HTML5 taking over, essentially replacing flash video. You go to a site, like from the WayBack Machine, and you got to a site you visited from say, 2001, and you compare it to a site from 2017... there's a huge difference.</div><div><br></div><div>Also, I'd like to note that in three years from now, the 2000s will have started 20 years ago. Think we would consider it retro by then?</div> | blueluigi | Jul 18, 2017 | |
