it’s all relative. anything before the living memory of teens is retro. that’s why it takes 20 years for stuff go to become cool again.
when i was a teenager everything 70s was retro and cool. around 2005 it became the 80s.
for my teenage nephews anything more than 1-2 years old is ‘ancient’. they think elden ring is a super old game, for example. it came out in '22. last year they wanted to show me this ‘cool old game and had i ever heard of it’.
I hope you said something like, “oh, that looks cool, can I try?” And then go around easily killing some enemies you already know and then comment on how easy the games kids are playing these days are.
