XD Didn't think anyone else knew 4chan lingo here Not really 4chan lingo anymore. I see people everywhere saying "based" "cope" "seethe" "dilate" I know but it originated from 4chan and not everyone knows the lingo. I'm surprised this actually became mainstream.

Bizarre how much of a tight grip on internet pop culture 4chan has. Facebook is huge but it has 0 impact on internet culture

You can say almost every decade is split in half when you look at it a certain way
1995 - internet blowing up and CGI
2004/2005 - Web 2.0
2015/2016 - too much to say lol

Facebook is huge but it has 0 impact on internet culture Probably because Facebook is not a particularly creative platform. It's used by normies who just follow trends rather than create them. Think Minions memes. 4chan is used mostly by outcasts who tend to be much more creative, even if they can be politically incorrect edgelords. IMO, 4chan is like the mid-late 2000s (creative, cynical, edgy, unconventional, politically incorrect), whilst Facebook is like the mid-late 2010s (corporate, politically correct, bland, conventional)

Is 4chan still popular? I don’t really hear much from that site these days. It used to be just about edgy and creative memes in the mid-late 00s. It became a breeding ground for right wing extremism around the mid 2010s. Not all boards are like that but the popular ones are.

I think wojaks spawned from there, I'd say it's still pretty damn popular. It's really the last place on the internet where you can be edgy and politically incorrect without being a Trumpist alt-right conspiracy theorist type nowadays. Everywhere else you get cancelled, or worse, your account gets deleted by bots.

The 2020s will be remembered as the decade when our rights and freedoms have been stripped away from us and with little pushback at that.

I'd say 2005 really splits the 2000s, since 2004 to me still feels culturally like it belongs with 2001-2003. 2005 is when MySpace blew up in popularity and YouTube launched. It was also the year emo went mainstream and shows live Avatar: The Last Airbender and Naruto came out. As for the 90s, the way I see it, 1990 is an 80s year, 1991 is half-and-half, and 1992-1995 culturally represents the first half of the 90s. The second half of the 90s started emerging in 1996 with the rise of 3D video games, decline of grunge, rise of cheesy pop, and rise of millennial culture in general, and 1997 is when we firmly entered it.

2004 was probably the least transitional year of the 2000s.

2004 was probably the least transitional year of the 2000s. I’d say that honor belongs to 2000 (which still felt like 1999), or 2003 (which wasn’t really different from 2001-2002). 2004 was hella changeful in my opinion.
