>>116678552the 00s web was kind of like that. i had a livejournal where i met my first girlfriend and saw at least two female friends' boobs posted... MySpace was a garish nightmare but a great place to promote a band... there was homestarrunner, newgrounds... hell, the simple fact that Amazon and Facebook and Google didn't own 90% of the Web yet, made everything amazing, made anything possible.
There were only three different instant messaging apps, and guess what, you could download Pidgin and it'd work with all of them. None of them were owned by Facebook or China or Russia.
Homestar Runner is what I want Generation X to be remembered by, if we're remembered at all...
