Get the retroist mug.
A person who rejects things of the modern world, and adapts to aspects of the past, whether they be from ten years to hundreds of years prior to the present day. Aspects of retroism include but not limited to; design, fashion, technology, everyday efforts/tasks, ways of speaking, and ideology.
