About

Retroslop, sometimes spelled Retro Slop, is a slang term describing Roblox players who try to embrace a retro Roblox aesthetic by using old items and styles on their avatars, but ruin and misrepresent the look by also using modern items and aesthetics, often giving the avatar a messy, overwhelming appearance. Players with retroslop avatars are often portrayed as posers, trying to pass off their modern and user-generated content (UGC) items as retro and falsely claiming that they started playing Roblox earlier than they did to claim they're "retro." The term was popularized online in June 2025, inspiring memes that make fun of the retroslop style. That month, TikToker @elio.aaa posted a video in which, dressed in retroslop, he chases a player as they say, "On my mama get that retroslop out of here," inspiring its own set of memes. The term "retroslop" uses the slang "slop" as a suffix, which is often used to criticize a given subject.

Origin

It is unclear who coined the slop term "retroslop" directly relating to Roblox. The term is used to criticize people who misrepresent the retro Roblox aesthetic by poorly mixing retro aesthetic items and accessories, sometimes described as those released between 2006 and 2013, with modern items and accessories.

One of the earliest known criticisms of this aesthetic that uses a similar term, "retro bait slop," is a starter pack meme posted by Redditor u/handsomeboy23344 to the /r/bloxymemes[1] subreddit on January 19th, 2025, garnering over 980 upvotes in five months.
