TheWalletUnknown 1 year 6 months ago Posts: 84 Globally Banned	In my opinion, it was 1996. Here's why: - The internet was not really that "big" until 1997. - Jeopardy still had their 1992 intro song and the 1960s think theme. - COPS still had their old logo. Changed in '97. - In 1996, grunge was still very popular. In the late '90s and early 2000s, you had boy bands and people like Britney Spears. - 1996 and 1998 comparisons of a Ford F-150: http://static.cargurus.com/images/site/2008/01/13/17/16/1996_ford_f-150_2_dr_xlt_standard_cab_lb-pic-23543.jpeg http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2008/03/04/automobiles/533-F-150.jpg 1997 and any year after just doesn't seem the same as 1996 and earlier.

2000.
The Twin Towers were still standing and the economy was still booming in the USA.

I'd slide it over at least a year. * 1998 isn't 1997, and I think you might be confusing 1997 with 1998 * Grunge and some bands typically associated with the 90s still had some prescence in 1997 (Soundgarden, Faith No More) and Britney Spears wasn't the teen superstar until 1998. 1998 may not be fully retro yet, but 1997 must be.

Using the Britney Spears as an example, confusing the two years is a mistake that someone might make. The end of 1998 may not be fully retro because of many circumstances, not just the number of years old it is.

I said it's a mistake they MIGHT make. Also, if you're so concerned about respect, why not practice what you preach?

There was no Nokia 3210 in 1998. Nor iPod. Nor WWTBAM, except in UK. Nor dead Layne Staley, nor dead George Harrison (and neither had significant impact on the cultural zeitgeist in the years they did die, or 1997.) Windows 98 was not as big a deal or computer interface change as Windows 95. Absolutely none of what you said shows that 1997 and 1998 were very different.

A lot has changed since 1997 and if you had a decent IQ, you would know that those were examples.

A lot has changed since 1997 and if you had a decent IQ, you would know that those were examples. again with the IQ points? do you have any other reply? first off I'm not calling you stupid. just your thought processes towards certain things. There's a big difference. Secondly nothing you stated has anything to do with what the word retro actually means. I could sit here and spell it out for you that what your saying has nothing to do with the topic at hand but apparently it is you who lacks the brain functions to actually see that.
