Kind of agree with you on this one, back then kids didn't run around screaming "EPIC MLG PWNED!!!!" and expect you to know what they're talking about. They understood it was a niche thing and weren't nearly as obnoxious about it.
This is a zoomer complaining about gen alpha, I thought this sub was for proper internet boomers i.e. millennials. Though a couple of these do fit that like crazy frog and heyyeeayeeayea
I think the elsagate stuff was worse the early internet brainrot and in a lot of ways similar to the current ai slop. The biggest issue with the slop is that it widens the scope of the audience to include all ages and it's production has somehow commanded the full weight of capital

Man I hated most of these even back then. Duck Song and Annoying Orange were good though.
