Ended up watching Haruhi because it was featured heavily in it, which sent me down the path of weebdom

Late 2000s was pretty much peak internet culture because of stuff like this. Just don't get anything like it anymore

You are holding it upside down.

I love being a weeb

me too

I became a weeb from the same anime weirdly enough. It was more like 12 years ago for me though, was still in high scool.

I was almost 'weeb' for like, at most, a few days waaaaay back in late elementary. It got old fast and I never looked back.

two recent ish ones I think are pretty good, I do agree thoough there is not as high a concentration of this sort of thing in modern internet as there used to be

I mean we get a lot of weeb internet content but it isn't the same

Back in the day the community felt more innocent and underground, especially to the western internet. It was just a different culture and the memes themselves were more earnest and creative in different ways. The shows themselves are also a lot different too now, TC said he watched Haruhi and that show was pretty different from the modern anime landscape, especially since I can't think of anything with that much of a focus on comedy that captured the zeitgeist like that show did.

I really wonder if the people saying that it's the people who've changed rather than the culture really even understand what kind of culture they're trying to talk about. Because I think it's basically undeniable this sort of weird shitposty collage montage mashup whatever you want to call it does not get made nearly as much as it used to and most of the ones I can think of are quite old

here's another personal favourite, youtube upload date 14 years ago lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD2KtNqQ4NU

if anything I feel like the culturally closest thing might be siivagunner? it's the same sort of very high effort + surprisingly high quality + actually sort of stupid when you think about it, that is also a continual buildup of referential humour sort of like these videos
