What Are Your Favorite Oldfag Memes?

[MoonMetropolis]

I recently posted "Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?" in a thread here and was promptly told by @FrogKing that "mentioning oldtroon memes to the zoomcattle here is like speaking to a brick wall". As such, I am making this thread to ask all zoomzooms (and the handful of millennials who post here): what are your favorite oldfag memes?

Since I was born in 1995 (which is often cited as the first year of generation Z), I am just barely old enough to remember many oldfag memes from when I was a kid (yes, I was on imageboards when I was a preteen). "Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?" is, of course, my all-time favorite. To this day, I still ask people that in person and still laugh my ass of at their bewildered responses. The "HURT FEELINGS AND BUTT RANGED" autism macros always made me kek as well, along with the goofy-looking baby picture Babby and all of the edits of it.

What's the cut off date for a meme to be considered an oldfag meme? 2012?

Don't even get me started. There's so many of them, and seeing how these fads have progressed over the course of a few decades is an incredible thing to see.
I have been online forever, and late 2000's-early 2010's internet was what I was raised on and is what I love the most.

If I had to pick one, I'd probably have to go with Homestar Runner. It's such a classic and you can never go wrong with it. Its surrealist style of humor and art was extremely influential and shaped a lot of things. Modern day webseries' on YouTube and other social media don't even come close to beating HR's interactive site full of literally endless fun, and there's nothing better than running the cursor over the "TOONS GAMES CHARACTERS DOWNLOADS STORE EMAIL" buttons.

Everything about Homestar is perfect in my opinion, down to the last intricate detail. It's a role model of internet culture, if that makes sense. Nothing beats it, and I hope its legacy continues for years to come. It would have been a great pleasure to experience more of this time period, but I am still very grateful for the time I did spend online, and fond memories such as these are irreplacable.

I wish I had this level of autistic enthusiasm about something.

Much like the definition of millennial vs. generation Z, it's a completely arbitrary distinction with zero actual science behind it. But, for the sake of this thread, let's say that it has to be at least 10 years old to be considered an oldfag meme. The real oldfag memes, however, are ones like these:

I don't wanna imagine myself in the soysphere 5 years from now, by then I hopefully fixed my life. So oldfagging is dumb.

The soysphere won't exist in five years.

The soysphere won't exist in five years.

If it does it will be completely unrecognisable
It'd probably be called the "gemsphere" or something, everything is NAS and nobody remembers soy culture anymore
