Anything that can be emulated on a PSP is retro to me, because that's where I emulate most things

The way I see it based on what was retro 20 years ago, something becomes retro when it's 20+ years old. In the 90's, stuff from the 70's was retro. In the 2000's, 80's stuff was retro. Now in 2023, stuff from the 2000's is technically retro.
But by pure dictionary definition, anything older than current stuff is retro. Memes from just last month that aren't relevant anymore would technically be retro, by definition of the word.
By pure dictionary definition. something new that's made to look old is retro, not things that are actually old.
relating to, reviving, or being the styles and especially the fashions of the past : fashionably nostalgic or old-fashioned
Imitation is just one kind of retro. Actual old stuff is also retro. It also means to go backwards, or regress.
Don't just go by the singular definition Google gives in their dumbass blurb. Look in an actual dictionary.
