Brainrot zoomer language was pioneered by members of our generation, yet is cringe to us. Same with “XD :3 ><” and the generation before us. Stuff becomes cool because older people start it, only for younger people to embody it. “UwU” is a gift that we ought to respect (≧ω≦)
I like to think >.< And :3 lives on, but it’s only furries at this point isn’t it. As a cat I will take :3 to my grave
worry not, it’s furries and a lot of submissive people
Not a furry, still use :3
I have three cats though
^^
I’ll buy that for a dollar.
It does feel like the same kinda gibberish my buddies and I were spouting in our heyday, just evolved
The G.I. Joe videos and strongbad. But I am le tired.
It was us man. We were there
it was moderately post ironic for us, when we used it. It went from being a once in a while thing just to add some additional slang. To a post hyper irony period where the joke is that the words we used dont make any sense and have no meaning, therefore you can just do that with EVERY word.
At the time, I was too busy glaring at the concept of irony being used incorrectly to know any of the slang you are referring to.
"We know we didn’t literally die laughing. We’re saying it ironically!"
it went from “died from laughter” to “good stitch” to “whatever the kids say these days don’t ask me i dont know anymore”
Why not Zoidberg?

I think I’m going to go Rick Roll myself, it’s such as catchy song. XD
This may be the most unsettling video I’ve seen in a while. Upvoted.
Unsettling? I always get a big pleasant wave of nostalgia when I watch it.
It’s my first time watching this particular video – I remember when the Internet was like this, but I didn’t remember what the digg website looked like or the YouTube or whatever, and the little ad games where you blow up a terrorist and all the hate in the flame war comments lol, I think I forgot a lot of it for a reason.

Every once in a while I call my picture an avatar just to remind people “profile pic” is boring and “pfp” doesn’t actually mean that.

Thoth my beloved
I can hear the nightcore coming from this image.
Nightcore is an edgy as fuck name for just being the chipmunk-ification of any given song.
I was so disappointed when teenage me discovered that.
Being a little cringe always brings joy to our faces, though
its not that edgy. Or is there nightcore lore im not familiar with?
It’s just taking music and then speeding it up and pitch shifting it lmao. Seems like an appropriate name to me.
The name sounds edgy. The reality of it isn’t. That’s what I was saying.
no i picked up on that, i guess i just don’t see how it’s supposed to sound edgy.
Perhaps you just perceived it as such and im thinking way too hard about this lmao
To me, it’s that they had to come up with a name for it since I doubt anyone would want to admit to liking Linkin Park - In The End (Chipmunk Version) rather than Nightcore Remix by xXRavenXx
that might be it, it’s definitely an odd sub-genre of music, but there are similar things in other samples pulled into other songs. Vaporwave being a fairly similar aesthetic just sort of backwards.
No idea what the etymology of nightcore is, but i’m sure it’s interesting.
emoticons were the correct answer, emojis were a mistake.
dont @ me.
>:(
This one was always my favorite

Once again, Gen X is skipped. Whatever.
they leave gen x out because they always show up in the comments. sadly the gen x tradition. representation through solidarity in underexposure. :(
go get into government or something, gen x is prime time age to kick out all the boomers. Please i beg you, do something based.
Ted Cruz and Rand Paul are gen-xers. Careful what you ask for.
and they aren’t making gen x look very good now are they?
Well… I am the right age for this to make sense about me, but fuck Ohio anyway

Of course Gen X left out again.
I thought gen x is “I hate my wife”. is it not?
That’s textbook boomer humor.
yes, I thought gen X was boomer lol… apparently its not, lol
It’s okay, we’re used to it.
The price for living our youths in the nineties.
Worth it!
