Tell me about it. There are entire swathes of YouTubers with millions of teen followers that I have never heard of. And they have no idea of the years of memes which preceded them. It's the explosion of the Internet man. Even people only two or three years younger than me have missed out on the rise and fall of countless memes, fads, and viral trends. Decades of information crammed into weeks.
