The Internet itself went from nerd shit to mainstream a lot quicker than memes, lol.

By 1999, Internet was mainstream. Memes didn't stop being nerd shit until like 2011.

Nah, the Internet didn't become mainstream until just before smart phones because they made it a lot more accessible. If you used the Internet regularly before then, people thought you were a nerd.

There's an old one that I used to see, but no one knows what Im talking about.

It was just of some black dude dancing/wiggling around all crazy. Got a chuckle out of it every time. My friend and I always said it was the perfect visual description of "wildin' out".

I think he might have been outside. Might have been a car. I dont even know now because its been so long.

Lmao! Im pretty sure thats not it, but hella close. The one I recall was lower quality and I dont think there was text. I think the dude was tall and skinny, wearing grey, or black.

It might have been a ghost rise the whip gif. Idk.

Anyway, thanks. I'm LOLing IRL tbh.

I remember the "OWNED" fad/meme. I thought it would never go away.

I don't think these qualify as memes.

This is only like 5 years old or something like that.

Modern internet meme culture started in the early 2000s.

Memes have been around since way before the internet


They were never called memes. There are lots of things that were well-known in pop culture.

Richard Dawkins coined the term in 1976, and the concept was around even before then.
