Hey /pol/, do you remember the old days? Before the world went to utter shit? Do you miss the Internet when it felt like an adventure - before it was ruined by normies and degeneracy? Older youth speak of the 90s as the time to be alive, but I say naught.
Those of us born between 1995-2000, we grew up in an era of digital pioneering, an era in which the internet, video games, the newest books, and the playground down the street all lived in complete harmony, none at the expense of the other.
Us late millenials will always remember Youtube in the days of Shoes, Charlie the Unicorn, Fred, AVGN, Nostalgia critic, Planet Unicorn Theme Song, Boxxie, and Bon qui qui, just to name a few.
We'll always remember laughing at the toddlers playing Webkinz while we thought we were so much better playing Club Penguin.
Runescape, Star Wars Battlefront, Halo - They all were pastimes.
When Linkin Park was cool to listen to, when the newest pop-Punk dominated our ears.
When pre-movie Spongebob and Drake and Josh were shows of choice.
A world that had yet to be explored, a world that looked so fun and optimistic.
How I wish to experience that era all over again.

The only way you could remember the internet when it was quality is if you were born in the 80s.

I was born in 87 and I still had all of that shit.
Only I was old enough to appreciate that it was all lame at best.
You can keep Charlie the Unicorn and Club Penguin, I'll keep Ninja Turtles and an actual youth club.

>>71428890
the good old times, when you were searching for warez+mp3 on altavista.
to be honest, since very few stuff was digitalized, the internet was shit compared to today. but atleast there was tons of warez on the internet, relatively spoken. and you could crack each and every system there was, because no one had any kind of security. or if they had, they sucked balls.

>>71428890
>before it was ruined by normies and degeneracy
You mean in the early 90s when it was mostly furries, disney porn, diaper porn, and unregulated CP?
Usenet and the early online communities were all about degeneracy and star trek. The porn to productivity ratio was 1000:1 in the early days.
The furrymuck started in 1990 and most modern furries are traced back to that community. It was pre-WWW and when the web finally emerged their numbers surged.
The flood of casuals that came in 1995-1996 helped dilute the amount of degeneracy on the internet as more and more commercial (non-porn) websites emerged. The dot com era cleaned up the internet substantially.
>>71428890
You are fucking delusional. The cut off for experiencing the age of wonder is 1987.
>>71428890
>born in 1998
>thinks he knows the raw Internet
Nigger you are a child of you don't have firsthand memories of 9/11 you are shit that was raised in the dystopian nightmare we call the present
>>71430511
I don't really know, but I think everyone born after that is a fag.
1985 here.
If you didnt grow up in an internetless world and then experienced the actual come up and early years of the internet up to 2000, you have no idea what its like to be alive
>>71428890
copy pasta threads are so 2010
>>71429074
First post, best post
>>71428890
I remember bulletin boards and then using AOL and other free services to access the internet. Horribly designed websites etc. It was nice.
>>71429074
Id say the cut off would be 1993ish to even have the vaguest memory
>>71428890
Thats what fucked the generation in the first place. Get stucked at home getting instant gratification from virtual worlds all by yourself. During that time, selfishness and the lack of social skills became the norm.
>>71428890
Low quality copy pasta
Kill yoursel sperg
>>71428890
Nostalgiafags are literally the worse
1988 here. i think the cutoff year should be 1990
