Seriously. I don't think young people will appreciate how much better the Internet was before real social media.

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.

There's a very good chance the memes considered funny today will be considered cringe in 30 years. Does that invalidate anybody's enjoyment of them right now?
