          2003 internet was worlds different than mid-90s. I definitely don’t think of them as the same eras.

            But people will in another few eras. I’m sure the people in the 1600’s viewed the people in the 1400’s to be vastly different, but yet- they both make up a part of the Renaissance Era.

            Additionally; I think people are taking this meme WAY too seriously.

              Well, yeah, when nobody’s alive who experienced it it’ll be different, but that time hasn’t come yet!

              Nobody’s taking it seriously - it’s just fun to point out the young whippersnappers who weren’t around for 90s internet thinking as far back as they can remember was “first.”

      I think it’s meant to imply that this is among the first era of memes, not that it’s the first.
