| 36547 | When do you consider to be the retro cutoff year | The term retro as it applies to style and fashion refers to using furniture, accessories, or clothing that were popular in decades past and are currently making a comeback or were so unique that they defined the decade and are considered throwbacks. <br><br>Retro style would then imbue something that was fashionable, went out of fashion for decades, and then came back into fashion such as horn rim glasses, tight pants, earth tones, or neon colors. That doesn't mean that everything should come back but if someone was wearing something that screamed a certain decade identity and it wasn't original clothing from the era it would be retro chic modern clothing. I think the key element would be that decades have passed. It would be very hard to say a sweater or shirt you had that is still in your closet that has been there for ten years is iconic of the decade or retro. The reason would be even though it is getting old it is still probably commonplace in people's recent memory and they may even still have some of the same or people may be still wearing them and be out of current fashion. Given time however those overalls that you ditched in the 90s are coming back into style 20 years later.<br><br>People sometimes feel slighted that people don't validate their childhood memories the same as others especially our younger members who visit this site. Memories are precious to the memory holder and precious memories are being made all the time, every day. However they don't apply to nostalgia because there hasn't been enough passage of time and goods, or places may still be in existence and are readily available so the memories made with such could easily be replicated well at least the objects could be found easier than something or somewhere that is twenty years old at least and may not be around anymore. For current interests there are plenty of fan pages talking about and loving everything you grew up with even if it was less that a decade ago. Those things will become retro with time. But cannot meet the definition of something that evokes nostalgia because even though they are associated with happy memories they are missing the key element of the passage of time or enough time to be considered something of the past.<br><br>The opposite of retro would be current. So if there are plenty of things currently around then it may not be old enough to be retro yet. Current can be prevalent or popular, present, known. Until it becomes scarce, past, unpopular or enjoying a renewed popularity after falling from popularity, hard to find, and relatively unknown or unremembered it will be hard to call it retro or evoke the nostalgic feeling of, "Oh yeah I had totally forgotten about that but I remember now seeing it. Man I loved that back then."<br> | NLogan | Jul 18, 2017 |  |

| 36544 | When do you consider to be the retro cutoff year | I know this has been beaten like a dead horse, but I'll chime in anyway.<br><br>I think things changed during and immediately after the '90s that made it hard to consider the following decade "retro". For one, we entered a new millennium. That in itself makes it difficult to see any post 1999 years as retro. Then there is the internet. It came into it's own in the mid-90s, and since the year 2000, it has evolved into such an important part of life. We almost can't conceive of a time with no online access to everything we ever wanted to know, watch, hear, etc. I still have difficulty considering anything about the internet "retro" with the exception of AOL and Geocities. I think it could be a while before we start thinking of any post 1999 years as retro.<br> | Vaporman87 | Jul 18, 2017 | |

| 36540 | When do you consider to be the retro cutoff year | <p>At least 20 years old for retro. With some allowance to round out the decade, i.e. 1997 to 2017 20 year difference, so 90s are retro 1990-1999</p> | NLogan | Jul 17, 2017 | |

| 36537 | When do you consider to be the retro cutoff year | Funny you should mention this. Not too long ago, I noticed that Netflix had several shows that premiered between 2000 and 2010 listed under the category of "Retro TV." That surprised me a bit. I'm not sure where I would personally draw the line, but I could see the case being made that anything over 10 years ago (2007) could be considered retro. | Superman | Jul 17, 2017 | |
