Some online culture thing was so prevalent that it can be abbreviated to "ytp", clarified to mean "YouTube Poop", and then explained what it came from...and I still have no clue what it is or was.
And I was online those years too.
Me too, me too.
Maybe it was more of a gen z thing?
That's what I thought too. But it says "milennials".
I've looked at YTP videos now, and I would describe it as... You know the annoying videos that are funny "bEcauSE tHei err sOO raANdOme"? The ones with suddenly saturated audio, or annoying visuals, and/or repeats something 10 times in a row?
Turns out that isn't something GenX came up with, and YTP is the "millennial" equivalent / precursor.
Younger millenials are basically gen z. The true millennials are the ones who are a very specific age, who can remember a time before the internet was widespread
And the Internet didn’t become widespread until like ‘96-‘98
Right. So millennials that were born in 1996 have a VERY different experience from millennials who can remember 1996
