	'''Retro''' is an [[Ad Nauseum\|irritating]] non-sexual fantasy found [[AIDS\|epidemic]]ally in fashion, [[music]], architecture, and human behavior, in which reproducing an imaginary, glorified model of how [[life]] supposedly was in the past is perceived as better than creating something new. It is distinct from [[Nostalgia]], which is merely an [[infantilism\|infantile]] and neurotic inability to let go of one’s own shitty experiences that somehow seem better than life in the present day. Almost always, a Retro approach to a particular aspect of culture is something imposed by corporations and [[media]] conglomerates, while nostalgia has more to do with one’s own personal [[Asperger's syndrome\|psychological problems]]. It is made to seem [[Pretty cool guy\|cool]] through using [[irony\|ironic]] humor to both make fun of and get all weepy about the shitty way things used to be.

	Retro crazes have been pervasive throughout human history. Many [[fascist]] revolutions have been launched with the goal of restoring the nation to the way it was in a mythical “Golden Age.” Adolf [[Hitler]]’s national fantasy was a rather artistic variation on this theme. Imagine a pure race of strong [[men]] and fertile [[women]], living in their rustic farmhouses and massive neo-classical buildings, wearing cute matching outfits, worshipping [[Cthulhu\|heathen Nordic gods]], going hiking in the Alps, eating [[penis\|sausages]].

For example, the retrofags of today swoon over the ugly clothes of the 1970s, but had they been alive in the 1970s they would have been [https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=7EPOCwAAQBAJ&pg=PA160&lpg=PA160&dq=1940s+revival+of+the+1970s&source=bl&ots=RC4uV4tv2i&sig=5KMe_K-tCmeqPgOMjhjIxOysFfY&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiG_q3qwMHOAhWDJ8AKHXTjDxE4ChDoAQgpMAM#v=onepage&q=1940s%20revival%20of%20the%201970s&f=false swooning over the craze for revived 1940s fashions that dominated the 1970s] and [[Irony\|scorning all the real styles of the 1970s on the grounds that they were popularist crap.]]

			In Victorian times, English architects foresaw future lulz potential for confusing American tourists. They decided to troll these innocent travelers in posterity by building things that looked medieval, but weren't. The peak troll project was St Pancras Station in London, which to this day allows Britfags to fool foreigners into thinking that the steam engine must have been invented 500 years earlier than it really was.

			Today's [[Steampunk]] twats are blissfully unaware that if they had actually been alive in late Victorian times, they would have been admirers of fashions dating from before the [[Renaissance]], instead of gluing cogs onto silver-painted fucking water-pistols.

			Speaking of the Renaissance, the Renaissance itself was a clusterfuck of retro, when ancient bits of [[Terrorist\|Arabic]] [[math]] and Greek [[CP\|sculpture]] were imported to northern Europe for the first time. This made the medieval period suddenly look totally [[oldmeme]] and everyone went apeshit for all these [[Time cube\|newly-rediscovered old-fangled things]] instead that were actually [[Shamwow\|better than the things they had now.]] Except for the whole buttsex-with-children thing. [[This looks shooped\|They edited that bit out.]]

Everyone knows that the hippies of the late 1960s and early 1970s were some of the '''L'''aziest, '''S'''tupidest and '''D'''irtiest people to walk the earth since Neanderthal (and that might be insulting to the Neanderthal). Unfortunately, unlike the Neanderthal, hippies haven't been wiped out by their far superior relatives --- the human race. Most hippies were violent, semi-retarded and often criminally insane. Older hippies who are still alive can usually be seen begging for a dollar at the corner liquor store. Yet again and again, the hippie lifestyle and aesthetic of the “Summer of Love” is promoted as a beautiful time of peace and love, health and freedom – the opposite of what it really was. Year after year, a teeming new cohort of dirt-children makes the Haight-Ashbury scene, looking for some free love, [[drugs\|get high, babie]], flower-power, vegans-but-smoke-cigarettes, share some lice, spread the ringworm, try some scabies.

Nevertheless, twenty years later, the international [[Jews|Jewish]] media bosses realized that they could make a killing by pushing the 1950s as an [[Lolicon|innocent]] time of teenage fun and hi-jinks.

Sure enough, young people began to go all out in mimicking the attitudes and fashions of “Happy Days,” “American Graffiti,” and other Jew retro perspectives on a time gone by. Meanwhile, parents were also caught in their psychotic nostalgia, realizing the total inaccuracy of the retro portrayals, yet thinking back fondly of those times. A later version of this problem came with the popular but similarly inaccurate “That ‘70s Show.”

Retro is a phony aesthetic that is packaged, promoted and sold to the gullible, insecure consumers of a later time.
