Cue the Old Web Movement

Plenty of us who used the actual old web in the old days are still very much alive and kicking. We're still in our 30s-40s+, or even late 20s. We remember the before times. The youth may not know an internet that existed for reasons other than turning us into products to sell and make techbros billions of dollars, but ancient ~30somethings(+) like me sure remember.

And, like, hey?? Why don't we just.. bring that old internet back??

Some people have already gotten started! There are whole communities of folks (32bit.cafe, IndieWebt, etc) who are purposefully taking their digital existance back into their own hands and making their own sites, and I know that I, at least, have been having fun spending (far too much) time surfing the web again!

Sites that are very 90s

If you are nostalgic for old geocities sites with their unhinged, definitely ADHD-fueled visual chaos, here are some modern versions!

No button, but Cameron's World is a glorious/horrific art project webpage that pulls graphics and chunks of site from hundreds of old geocities websites into one site. It is horrible and amazing and will make your eyeballs bleed. Proceed with caution. Maximum blinky gif warning.

Experiences!
