            This meme did not first appear until 2009.

    I was on one of the sites where this first took off. It was called lolbot.net and it was basically like funnyjunk. There were tons of sites like that dedicated to funny images. Images weren’t called memes back then. Images contain memes. So the concept of “stealing memes” meant something different. If someone’s home site came up with a meme, they didn’t want people on other websites making their own original images using that meme. They were supposed to get their own memes instead. And they didn’t want other sites memes stinking up the place either. Staredad was a pretty sore subject for a while because multiple sites and forums were being attributed as the creators. People were really territorial over web sites and their cultures back then. They still are but now that there’s like three websites it’s a lot different.

    If that song is ancient, then that would mean that…

    That song isn’t that old!

        I was just thinking that. A song from 2003 that was pretty much a earworm for like two years but then kinda faded away.

        Will a young whippersnapper even know about Kelis?

    The wave of nostalgia that washed over me seeing this template. I remember making a few iterations of this myself back in the day.

    Old meme, but it checks out.

    This isn’t even its original form. I believe this is, but I’m having trouble finding a better copy. Or maybe it’s this post, though it isn’t dated, but I find some very old references to it.
