Some more for you guys. I also used to browse Something Awful, AniPike, Rotten.com and Crazy shit before I discovered 4chan. I wonder where they are now?

>Haven't spoken to your online friends in over a decade
>All those days of staring out the window during school daydreaming about coming home and playing video games and surfing online are gone
>All those days of exploring the unknown territory of the Internet, being amazed by all the different things you find, are gone
>The spark is gone
>Even trying to rekindle the spark by watching old shows/playing old games doesn't work
>Trying to recreate the experience of the old Internet with things like Archive.org just feels like visiting a cemetery
>You will never wake up with the same bright, naive desire that you used to

Fuck this hits me hard. I don't subscribe to the "the internet is completely dead and there will never be another golden age of content" claim that is constantly espoused but looking at the past I wonder if we can ever top it, if the content creators of now are even as youthful or vigorous as they once were, and if the current generation is up to the challenge.

I can look at content produced by the "modern" internet and be amused or downright amazed at times but something feels missing. It's the same feeling you get when you play a modern video game but then wonder how you had more fun with games made with worse technology. Wherever you look it feels like there is a deep stagnation of culture and I don't believe it has everything to do with not being a kid anymore.

Not even doom music would make modern internet cool.
