retroflect

The act of mentally reflecting on the past and the cultural influences of that particular time. One can retroflect on any decade or time that was important or special to them.

The memories and mental images that we have entwined with the cultral influence of that given time.

Retroflection involves the way modern cultural trends reflect those of past times and decades.

While driving down the road, Aerosmith's Sweet Emotion came on the radio and I retroflected back to Prom Night.

Cartoon retroflection causes me to sing the Banana Splits' song "tra la la," while it may cause my older son to sing "Scooby Dooby Doo, where are you," and my middle son to sing, "GO GO Power Rangers," and my youngest to sing "Sponge Bob Square Pants.....Sponge Bob...Square Pants!"

Retrobate

n. One who can't, or who refuses to walk the bleeding edge of technology, preferring old, reliable tools. I.e. one who shuns PDAs for notebooks, pencils and pocket calendars; would rather meet in real life than on MySpace; and who'd still shoot with cameras which require film. A Luddite.

Bill is the kind of retrobate who rides an old, carburated Harley, rather than a new, reliable, fuel-injected sport bike.

Retrogade

A Photoshop Portal made in the same design of Newgrounds by a NG user named, bedn. The point of the site is to submit photoshops, pictures you have taken,sigs, or site designs created by YOU. If you find a funny picture and submit it and are caught you will be flagged by users and you will be banned from the site. You can vote on photoshops sent into the portal. If they get a low enough score they won't stay on the site. On the forums you get "money" for posts and can buy various things making your posts fancy. All users get their own profile that you can keep favorite authors or photoshops or leave small messages on other users profiles. Retrogade is mostly NG users and are going their to escape too much of Newgrounds.

Bedn: I made a site that looks like Newgrounds for Photoshops called Retrogade!
DirtySyko: Sweet! I need a break from NG.
-TheBhudist-: Yeah, I'm great at Photoshops!
