Love Jeepers Creepers, kinda goofy, but I like it.
Anyways, I personally consider N64 era back as retro, everything else modern.

Isn't that a breakfast cereal?
On topic, I consider every system that came out before the PS2 to be retro.

That works perhaps for PC titles, but go with the "2 generation" rule of thumb. Although with computing titles, another spanner in the works would be the advent of "mobile gaming" in the form of smart-phone apps.

To me, anything non-current gen is retro. I've been considering even Gamecube, PS2, and XBOX as retro consoles for quite some time now.

I really don't consider those retro yet. If I had to choose, I'd say the N64/PS1 era is just now
starting to get that retro feel for me, but hasn't quite hit that mark yet.
