Retro is anything on a cartridge or tape. Disc based media is too new and space age to be retro.

Well, let's see.

I was alive for the bicentennial of the USA, don't remember that but do remember rotary phones. The population of the world doubled between my birth and when I was age 42.

Not sure Lemmy skews older than "the rest of the internet" though, have you ever seen Facebook?

I look almost the same as I did when I was twice as young as I am right now and I understand that during this decade I'll probably leave the age bracket where this is possible.
