Always a trip reflecting on this hyperbolic and profanity-laden style of comment from the old internet. Cringy by today’s standards.

Funny that a post from 2015 is considered old Internet.

I have memes from like 2004 that I remember saving from floppy -> CD-R -> DVDR -> external hdd -> cloud.

God, the young are so cringy.

no, today's hollowed out husk of internet is what is cringy and self conscious, as well as namby-pamby. the attitudes of those who created the internet cannot be called cringy.

The best part of old internet culture is that the people who were there don't really give a damn about the current culture of censoring random perfectly words because of social media.

You can curse on the internet, lots of us don't believe that God will smite us if we do.
