r/RetroGaming is very strict about retro. They say the Nintendo 64 is retro while the PlayStation 2 is modern. This despite the fact the PlayStation 2 is now 25 years old.

So I got to wonder about this community deems as “retro”.

Or a better question: what’s considered retro and not retro? What’s the fine line between retro and modern?

    Tbh I tire of society and it’s insurance of putting things in labelled boxes.

    It means different things to different people based on their age and experiences growing up.

    For me it’s PS2 backwards.
