Seeking justice too long after the fact.

retropathy

A pathological yearning to go back in time.

He had squandered his youth and was now beset by retropathy, needing to do it again and do it better. He would quit his job, find his first car and buy it back, find his old girlfriend and they'd hit the road. He'd wake up one morning and be twenty again. He was sure of it.

Retrotechno

The love of vintage technology and retro visions of the future, most commonly from the mid to late 1900's with special focus on the 80's and early 90's.

Humerously cumbersome, oddly obsolete, or completely pointless and time consuming to use, these devices were often hailed in their time as being modern and futuristic while in retrospect seeming like a large waste of time.

Most often seen (and celebrated) in older movies dealing with cutting edge (for their time) technology, or Futuristic devices.

Johnny's cellphone was ringing, he reached to the back seat of his Delorean for the handy briefcase weighing only 14 lbs, the latest in portable technology and completely Retrotechno!
