We have modernism and also post-modernism that are tied to a specific range of dates. I’m wondering if people feel the same way for “retro”

I don’t think it’s either. I think there were certain phases that had a distinct style, and we had huge jumps from phase to phase. Atari to NES to SNES to N64 to Playstation 2 to Playstation 3 were all gigantic. But then PS3 to 4 was, to me almost unnoticeable. Same to PS5. Wii to whatever modern Nintendo thing is also probably not gigantic either IMO.
I have a tough time calling PS3 retro because of that, even though it’s pretty old now.
