Retro is a contemporary term used to describe things from a bygone era. It is often used in a positive sense, referring to quirky or attractive products that are no longer available. For example, "Retro fashion" or "Retro Chic" may consist of outdated styles, such as tie-dyed shirts from the 1970s, or poodle skirts from the 1950s. A love of retro objects (things from the past) is called retrophilia.

Retro is styles of clothing or furniture or whatever that was popular back in the 60's or 70's and have come back in style now. For example, "I bought this cute retro blouse." There are no stupid questions when you are sincere!

Retro is something old renewed again. Right now, the 80's look is back, which is considered retro. Hope this helps.

retroactive - having relation or reference to or efficacy in a prior time.
It's slang. Americans have a habit of shortening words and phrases. Retroactive becomes retro. Your Social Security Number becomes your social. It's annoying and confusing.
