It was around 2016, I was about 25, and I went camping with some friends for a few days.

Up until that point, I felt like I had managed to stay relatively "with-it"

But we had little to no Internet access for a few days, because that's how camping works.

I came back and dat boi was all over the internet.

I had no idea what was going on with that meme, it never quite clicked for me

And from there it was all downhill, more and more new memes just stopped making sense to me.
