What do you regard as retro? - eviltoast

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?

    Any console that existed before me is retro. I started with the PS1 and N64 so those are modern and all the ones before are retro lol
