different times

>>1526896

Old /b/ was packed to the brim with shit like this, nostalgia just causes most people to forget it (and a lot of the people who talk about old /b/ these days are just newfags LARPing as oldfags).

>>1526896
seems like they were having fun

>>1526896
Yes.
Times change and things look different through the filter of each era.

Here are a few examples of how the modern internet is going to look to kids 10-20yrs from now:
>waaa you used an incorrect joke
>I'm actually angry and obviously trying REALLY hard to change the behavior of others on the internet, but I'm going to post this "smug" image to pretend I'm actually laughing
>I spend all day every day posting in threads I hate trying to dictate and influence the "culture" of this site
>I know you posted that to be humorous, but let me take this opportunity to fucking write an essay about why its not funny
>let's analyze the humor of 4chan from 2004 and compare it to our superior humor today which is composed of nothing but pre-approved "memes" which I can insert into any situation and KNOW it's funny because it has stood the test of time instead of coming up with something original

But of course, trends also change and even go in cycles.
Younger generations are probably going to think you all were annoying whiny babies who tried way too fucking hard to fit in on anonymous sites like you actually think anything you do here matters or is going to be recorded in some history book or something.

The thing is, OP, internet wasn't avaiable until the 2010s in the third world, which is why /qa/ subhumans glorify an era they have never experienced.

Did you experience it anon? Because I'm pretty sure you didn't, which means you're the only one here claiming to know something you actually don't.

>>1526896
Respect board culture you shit eating limp wristed "he does it for free" shilling shithead who thinks everyone must confirm to my world view faggotry. Lurk more or kill yourself already shekelburg.

Yeah, people having fun and not filled with outrage or activism. Maybe you should try it sometime.

4chan is stupid.

>>1528461

Hmm, It's almost like references and memes somehow aren't as funny when you're not with their clique and analyzing it from a decade later.

Looks pretty innocent and fun, what's the problem, desuka? Not enough irony, pretentiousness and politically charged agenda in the posts?

>>1530601
The cat one is actually pretty funny still.

2004: underage kids post memes for fun
2017: underage kids seriously meme something into existence
That's the difference.
