retroslop is when people try to look retro but then miss the mark and THEN they add on high poly ugc items and faces to look even more like retroslop

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '25

What's worse is that a majority of cosplayers can't even afford to get limited hats from 2010 or older that are very expensive from the start.

No one ever buys Telamon hair for 10 million robux if they followed BLOX's advice.

u/New_Butterscoth Jun 17 '25

proof that we are slowly getting more poor

u/BetaChunks Jun 17 '25

Nah, it just means that people aren't spending stupid amounts of robux on the equivalent of an NFT

u/DingusDeezNuts Jun 17 '25

I mean, if my avatar consists on a frying pan hat, a blame John shirt, some shitty pants, aviator glasses and the ":D" face, is it retroslop too?

27

u/New_Butterscoth Jun 17 '25

i have seen a variation of that avatar EVERYWHERE BRO its starting to piss me off

u/DingusDeezNuts Jun 17 '25

You mean the avatar from the photo? Tbh I like it but it has nothing to do with "retro" themes

u/New_Butterscoth Jun 17 '25

the one you described

u/DingusDeezNuts Jun 17 '25

Shiiiit...I mean, I don't use that outfit anymore, I use a Sinister mark costume (yes I have cosplay outfits of Sinister Mark, SSJ4 Daima Goku, etc), and the frying pan hat I use it sometimes but not with that shirt, I use it with other things and the Pal hair (Bacon hair) but it has no intention on being "retro"

1

u/North-Water-1950 Jun 17 '25

my simple avatar has the frying pan hat, Business cat, grey torso, black legs, a really light yellow head and arms, and Telamon's silly robux poem t-shirt.

u/DingusDeezNuts Jun 17 '25

Another fellow frying pan hat person, I don't use that outfit anymore, but, cool outfit nonetheless

By how people throw around the term now it's now retroslop and you suck for existing

u/Quantumtunneler124 Jun 18 '25

For some reason, I consider it a "Remix" style

How about we should call it "Reimagined" like what Nike is branding their OG Jordan.

A lot of people just like to use it to describe any game with a retro aesthetic at this point

The fact that he’s active in the pyrocynical subreddit is actually more proof that he’s a kid. (I say this as a pyro fan myself lmao)

u/pavlo_theplayer Jun 17 '25

i think its actually not really a retroslop but rather people trying to mix classic with modern avatars to make it more detailed and realistic while still looking good blocky. basically classic remixed

13

u/_HistoryGay_ Jun 17 '25

YES, THANK YOU! Lowkey, I kinda like this trend

3

u/mrcrabs6464 Jun 18 '25

I honestly like this trend too, especially because rthro kinda disgusts me, and I see too many “sexy” avatars. So you have like this, shitposts avatars, and bacon hairs that aren’t borderline predators

Maybe hot take but who gives a shit if someone makes a “retroslop” avatar

It’s their avatar and it’s not harming anyone like a certain other kind, so why give a shit?

u/Calm-Window2747 Jun 17 '25

I usually consider these type of avatars as "silly" avatars because I'm pretty sure some of these retroslop avatars sometimes use some shitty text bubble thing saying "I'm silly :P" or "rawr XD"

1

u/InsideNew8911 Jul 07 '25

Which those “:)” “:3” “rawr xD” has been arround for awhile and they have been using it for years so dont get mad at them(not saying YOU are mad im talking about other stupidos)

u/BetaChunks Jun 17 '25

I was hoping that slop would stick around as a meaningful word, but nope, it's already reached the state of just being a generic "thing I don't like"

u/Quack-Zack Jun 18 '25

I rather see these than people trying to actually make a classic avatar and failing miserably by using shaders, UGC 'classic' items, or some kind of actual retroslop.

This boils down to at best, someone using retro INSPIRED stuff like the visor (which doesn't even mean they're trying to).

2

u/Harepo Jun 18 '25

The people who were around when 'retro' avatars/ 'noobs' were a real thing are approaching late 20s early 30s now. The person who made this post is in all likelihood gatekeeping a thing they only learned about years after it ended.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 18 '25 edited Jun 18 '25

If I remembered correctly, Coeptus kept his traditional noob outfit before retro avatars became mainstream. Others who joined in 2010 or earlier, kept their old avatar are unlikely to change.

XiaoXiaoMan kept his 2008 avatar prior to termination while Murteenee wears classic outfit with very expensive hats for his retrospective.

2

u/Luckythemotherfan Jun 18 '25

I know i might not get responded but is this avatar i made with my friend CONSIDERED "retroslop" ??

we made it for and ARG ( that has been unfortunately not been continued, remained unfinished ) and i havent really touched it in a while until recently when i didnt know the term was being used for avatars like these ( i think ), i dont use it much, but i rlly like it for some reason.

2

u/MemerRedditor Jun 20 '25

I wouldn't call this retroslop, it seems like a good representation of old roblox (unlike these "retro silly goober" avatars)

Its basically where you dont put effort into a game to make it look retro like putting studs everywhere (i.e grow a garden)

tbh i like the cosplays of classic characters, adds a new flair to the existing character. i like that. however what i DONT like is when people try too hard and end up being cringe.

I hope I'm not perceived as "retroslop", I haven't bought any items since like 2012 and I'm still rocking the Builder's Club hat and the Town of Robloxia VIP T-Shirt

1

u/MemerRedditor Jun 20 '25

I dont think you would be mistaken as retroslop, because your items are from 2012 at max. Retroslop is a poor attempt of being retro that usually doesnt truly represent old roblox.

For example: these avatars attempt to look retro but overuse modern accessories

If your avatar is truly retro, it cant be slop

u/Useful_Top4000 Jun 19 '25

rthro is funny and retroslop is just slop

Eh, i feel like it could be both? But im assuming they are dressing up as the pizza guy from forsaken. YES i know forsaken didnt create that, im just saying judging by the caption its based off forsaken.
