What is retro? What is old? I remember we used to say "the 70's" - that was old, with their flares, huge hair and wierd flowering music. More recently the 80's has become the retro scene. Retro games are mostly based on 80's titles, retro music is definitely inspired by the new romantics and a selection of the cooler films seem to be set there.

So, does that mean in a couple of years time when we enter 2010's the 90's are going to be retro? That's pretty scary to me, think about the things that become retro?

Games: Quake, Ultima Underworld, Mario 64
Bands: Oasis, Pulp, Nirvana
Films: Trainspotting, Pulp Fiction and Toy Story

It's just so freaky. Gonna have to get my a flux capacity enabled delorean and go back and fix it. Oh wait, that was the 80's.

Never mind.
