nowtro

The 'Now' retro! A movement of ever regurgitating the past and reintroducing it back in the present or, sometimes even the 'neoteric' near future!
Comes in many names that in the example below, I couldn't help but self-coin a new one all by myself!
The 'Millennium Effect', retro-future/ retro-futurism/ retro-futurism, neo-retro, retro-modern, retro-vintage, metro-retro, retrogressive, retrocon (retroactive continuity), contemporary classic, neotraditionalism, retro-futurology, technostalgia, newstalgia...

Nowtro: also called the 'newtro', or my own self-coinage: neotro.
Dig.

Nowtro

Something which has become retro, but at the time was not. Or something which will become retro in the future, but is currently "nowtro".

"To do then now would be retro. To do then then was nowtro."
