    I’ll fight anyone who says 1998 is retro. I’m getting old, but give me a few more years damn.

      Hell, I can remember when the word retro meant something new inspired by something older. Now it just means old / classic.

      You and me both, but to be fair it’s a year closer to the creation of console gaming to modern day. So I’ll let it pass.

      People who call my music vintage or classic can get right the fuck back, though.

      I understand saying you don’t feel like 2010 is retro, but 1998? That’s been retro for a long time. You’re in a really extreme place in your head when you stick to not calling something that’s 25 years old retro.
