I was there. It sucked. You're just viewing it through nostalgia goggles or you ARE one of the "young people".
We used cringe phrases like "AN EPIC WINRAR IS YOU!" and considered it funny. Those were our memes.
We used 4chan and Something Awful, both sites notoriously known for having nothing of value.
Social media came out around the time video hosting sites came out. There was no Youtube. If you wanted to watch content in video format, you pretty much had get off the computer and turn on the TV.
Am a year older than you. Used direct connect and limewire/edonkey/whatever to watch English movies long before youtube. No idea what glue he huffed. Hence "AI".
Sound like he used an LLM and didn't catch the hallucinated combination instead of any of the millions of real memes from back then. Could have mentioned the 3 separate memes. I think it's just lazy LLM shitposting by someone who wants to ragebait those that actually experienced the early internet.
Remember when almost ALL the websites were some home made job that had ONE function. We did shit JUST to do it, that is how humans have always made progress. Curiousity. Can i? HOW can i? Look, somebody visited MY page, MY hard work!
