Internet Culture
Did you know that memes are over 100 years old? It's true, not all internet things are new things. The internet hasn't made us new, it's just morphed and mutated tendencies humanity has always possessed. That said, there is a specific kind of internet culture, you know? Like when we say “‘the internet’ is seeping into the real world," you kind of intuitively know what we mean. Certain viral stars, certain art trends like SCP creepypasta or fan art—all that stuff is internet culture. And internet culture can be positive! It's all about how you use the internet. And for us? Well, as long as y'all whippersnappers keep on surfin' the world wide web, we'll keep covering its weirdo culture.
