What part of internet culture wouldn't I be baffled by in 30 years?!
Even the most simple semi-niche forum is a goldmine in comparison to the hellhole apocalypse landscape culture the AI junkies are going for.
I'd say liminal spaces / backrooms lore : https://backrooms.fandom.com/wiki/Backrooms_Wiki
Stuff like the casting couch or piper memes. I feel like porn centered memes isn't something a 60 year old will be eager to share with their children.
"Oh honey, I don't remember. The internet was weird back then" but it's not something you actually forget. Not sure if it counts as meta. Shitposting will definitely be misunderstood and frowned upon.
i'd say such youtube skimpy try-on haul videos (nsfw).
what even are these?
Who knows what the kids are going to be doing in 30 years? I'm 37, been using the Internet my whole life and there's plenty of memes out there today that baffle me.
That everyone will accept the loss of the real internet for the dystopian nightmare we have now.
And that it will get worse in ways we cannot imagine.
The skibbidy toilet thing is pretty wild
This does not really cover the question but the use of companies pushing stuff by using the term viral the way a high school student council poster would use popular. Its like they do something online and of course its practically impossible to have zero participation in stuff (especially if you pay "influencers" to shill for it) and then call it viral even though the majority of folks didn't participate and don't care.
I'm guessing the faces many people make and put on the picture used for their social media videos looking like they just shit their pants or ate a lemon are going to continue to get more stupid until it's just a pair of giant eyes and a sphincter
Sleek minimalist design.
Probably an unpopular opinion, but memes.
Yes, I'm old, but I really want to believe that at some point the rest of the world is going to figure out that there's nothing particularly fun or funny about weaponized propaganda formatting, and go back to sharing actual information.
