Back before the normies ruled and nerds were still actually abnormal, internet nostalgia.

Now I'm talking real nostalgia, not only 4chan stuff, but stuff like old YouTube videos and newgrounds.

If it was mainstream, it's not anymore, so its probably not normie.

I'll start.

How old are you then? Most people on here are '18'

That was actually what I was thinking. Smartphones are so useful, but they're the downfall of society. Plus the humble bragging of Facebook generally makes me sick, I only use it to talk to my only friend, and the little dev team im in, and shitposting on the anti-media, aside from that, I fucking hate it.

If you think normies didn't rule the internet in 2008 then you are stupid and a pretentious cunt.

Nope.

Fuck off, normies were better back then. If you say they weren't, you're an actual autistic, even for too standards. Also, it was a hell of a lot small knit. Also I meant anything 2008 and before, but mainly 05-08

>Fuck off, normies were better back then.

That's because you were a dumb kid in '08. Normies are cancer, no matter what time period it is. They already ruled the Internet with Myspace, Jewtube, Facebook, and Blogger. Fuck out of here trying to sound sophisticated, faggot.

>Stop trying to sound sophisticated
I literally just spelt were wrong, I think you might just be retarded. Also, normies were not good back then, yes, but they were not as bad as the 10s normies, but the 00s normies are worse than 90s and so forth until a certain time. I don't know why it's like that, maybe I'm getting old, but they seem like NPC's now, maybe I've grown up, I don't know. Maybe they were the same and you're right, I was a dumb 10 year old kid in 2008 after all.

And browsing internet/playing games during the wait was out of the question because realplayer took so much RAM that you couldn't do anything.

Normies of the 2008 were working adults, school kids, and students.
Normies of today are everybody who are not nerds.

You have to understand that 2007-2008 was the time when smartphones were becoming the standard, and this kind of technology was finally made fully mainstream. Internet wasn't anymore "that weird slow text shit only nerds use", but this magical tool to be in contact with all your friends 24/7.

Internet became very fast the "new" television.

Wrong, normies also like advertising themselves as nerds XD.

I miss the old internet. Of course technology was clunky, internet was slow as fuck, and everything felt like a wasteland of random shit. But it's not the technology I really miss, but the feeling of exploration. Remember trying to search for cheat codes for video games before there were any websites dedicated on cheat codes and walkthroughs? You could easily end up someone's website that held the cheat codes, and then some strange shit by the owner of that site.
Back in the days before social media people used to make their own personal websites about themselves. You searched for some cheat codes, and suddenly you were browsing some 15-year old nerd's website with grainy ass jaypegs, animated gifs that would bring your browser to its knees, and cheat codes that didn't even work.

Again, I don't *really* miss any of that shit. What I really miss is the feeling of adventure and mystery. Every time I sat on computer I would experience or learn something new. Nowadays internet is so integrated into my daily routine that I don't even think about it like that anymore. Internet feels so natural to me, like reading a newspaper or making a sandwich.

I've been recently learning to code, and the feeling I get from it is pretty similar to my first experiences with the internet. The feeling of mysteryn and this complex sounding system unfolding in front of my eyes, giving me the opportunity to learn about a world beyond our world.
