The wave of neo-retroism has swept the field of visual design from 2010 to 2020. Based on the analysis of the group evolution of the mobile UI retro style from the "perspective of China", this paper defines several key issues such as boundary and feature, meme and lineage, formation and rheology, venation and motivation of main popular styles. The three main styles of "Retro-futurism", "Early retro feature", and "Retro art design" mutually influenced by each other rose successively and broke out thoroughly from 2017 to 2019, which greatly affected the trend of visual aesthetics. In this process, the domestic style presented the evolution characteristics of "Retro in the inverted order", "Vaporwave drive", "80S outbreak", etc. "Survival of the fittest in the flat context", "Nihility of future view overhead reality", "Knowledge acquisition in We-Media awakening" and "Aesthetic alienation in the time of too cool" are the underlying evolution logics of the neo-retroism wave. In the future, the creative subjects of style trend will probably shift from the elite professionals to the public.
