What do you regard as retro? (kbin.earth)

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?

This seems like a good line to draw. Does it play natively on current consoles? Not retro. If you have to use an emulator or pull out an older console then that’s retro.
