It is pretty interesting to see the viral videos of 16+ years ago and how they're both similar and different to what makes the rounds today. I'm sure there's video essays and retrospectives that would do a better job of analyzing them than me but I'm just here to link the originals. Cheers.
It's a millennial meme. Gmod edits have been around for years and years. Gen alpha unearthing and worshipping it because they don't understand is weird but not exactly new.
Now making a movie about it directed by Michael Bay? That's true Hollywood brain rot.
When I said not exactly new I was trying to refer to gmod surrealism memes but I didn't find the words yet. I was under the impression that skibidi toilet was at least a few years old but I guess not.
Too be fair perhaps were just getting old and the world is changing to become unfamiliar to what we used to. This is probably what the boomers thought of us I bet. It's just funny how every generation seem to hate the next one.
