Definder - what does the word mean?

What is so retro?

A photo or video that tries to convey itself in a pixel style, but just looks like they slapped pixels on it & some Mario & called it a day.

Person: Look, i just made Joker in the pixel style!

Person, too: That's just a Megaman recolor.

Person: But it's so retro, right?

Person, too: No, it's like claiming to draw Sans in Family Guy but it's just Sans' head on Peter's clothing.
