        Mine were PETSCII using C-64 graphical codes from shifted letters. I had an animated signature line on one BBS of the Enterprise that would redraw it, making it warp out to the side of the screen. It works well because of the slow baud rate. :D

      Try 1999 or 2000! I forget when exactly, but it predated all of these.

    These really go show how memes used to have a much longer shelf life than most memes today. I remember seeing references to these exact memes up until about 2011.

    When we were in highschool, I convinced my mate to make a 10 minute loop of the badger badger badger song and to see how long he can play it at the school social before a teacher came to tell him to change it, we lasted about 7 minutes of it looping. The crowed loved it tho.

    Some Millienals complain about “brain rot content”, but likewise speaking of the badger as the “Meme of the year” tells enough

      Yes and no. We definitely had brain rot content. Charlie the Unicorn also comes to mind, or Fingertips. But it was nowhere near as widespread, popular, or in such vast quantities as today. The internet is more accessible than ever with the advent of smartphones in everyone’s pockets and social media is ever-expanding no matter how much people complain about it. And meme culture exploded because of that.

        Yeah, I misread it initially. The photo is from 2001, but the meme is reportedly 2003.
