I met my old girlfriend at the bar the other night for the first time in ten years. That night, we had a retro fuck.

Get the retro fuck mug./Noun/
A pejorative term referring to a person who rejects or dismisses modern technology in favor of older, often obsolete designs, usually for no good reason. Unlike a Luddite, a Retrogrouch doesn't hate all technology, and is usually motivated more by a belief that their particular favorite era of tech is cool, rather than any particular ideology.
A person can think a particular era of technology is cooler than modern tech without being a Retrogrouch, the difference being that the casual enthusiast is usually amiable and willing to admit that their preference is based on subjective/aesthetic taste, and that modern tech is generally superior, while the Retrogrouch is abrasive, irrational and tends to shit on anything they don't like.
Use of the term is generally limited to community forums dedicated to discussion of specific types of technology, such as bicycles, cars, and firearms.
