- There Is No Cabal (abbreviated TINC)
is a catchphrase and running joke found on Usenet. The journalist Wendy M. Grossman writes that its appearance on the alt.usenet.cabal FAQ reflects conspiracy accusations as old as the Internet itself. The anthropologist Gabriella Coleman writes that the joke reveals "discomfort over the potential for corruption by meritocratic leaders". (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_Is_No_Cabal)

- Eternal September or the September that never ended
is Usenet slang for a period beginning around 1993 when Internet service providers began offering Usenet access to many new users. The flood of new users overwhelmed the existing culture for online forums and the ability to enforce existing norms. AOL followed with their Usenet gateway service in March 1994, leading to a constant stream of new users. Hence, from the early Usenet point of view, the influx of new users in September 1993 never ended. Wikipedia (somewhat cyber;punk)

In the 80s not a lot of people had access to any kind of internet but there were Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) and email and such. BBS were like forums where people could post things.
In the 90s it was all about chat rooms and in the late 90s, instant messenger. Chat rooms were great (especially fancy ones that let you have avatars) and you’d just hop on and randomly chat with people. Most people had their own website too (often Geocities pages[4] or later on, AngelFire).
People were a lot more tech savvy and polite online back then because if you were rude you’d get banned from the chat room. EDIT: Oh, and the fun thing about people having their own website[3][4] is most people had a page counter and guest book. The page counter let you know how many visitors you had while the guest book were for site visitors to sign and leave a message if they wished. You could later read the messages. You also may have been part of a “web ring”
where you had a special link at the bottom of your page that let you connect to other similar pages that were part of the ring. Instant Messenger was super popular too since you could instantly message your friends without the need to hop into a chat room.
In the early 2000s that’s when you saw the rise of social media (*homogenization) pop up with MySpace[4] and later Facebook. There were some earlier types like LiveJournal but they never really took off. There was also the rise of smart phones around this time which lead to the demise of instant messaging apps.
80s: weird people posting on usenet

In the 1980s, social networking as we know it today did not exist. Users communicated through bulletin board systems (BBS), leaving messages and playing text-based games. In the 1990s, online communities and forums emerged with the growth of the internet. Usenet newsgroups allowed users to engage in discussions on various topics. Online services like CompuServe and AOL provided chat rooms and message boards.
In the early 2000s, dedicated forum platforms like Yahoo Groups and MSN Groups gained popularity. Internet forums became structured spaces for discussions. The mid to late 2000s saw the rise of social networking platforms such as Friendster, MySpace, and Facebook. These platforms emphasized personal connections and self-expression[4]. Online forums continued to exist with platforms like phpBB and vBulletin.
Throughout these decades, social networking and forums were primarily text-based, with limited multimedia content. Communication was often asynchronous, with users posting messages and others responding later. Privacy settings were limited, and the user experience was simpler compared to today's platforms. The advancements in technology and the growth of social media have since transformed online communication.

- New Sincerity
New Sincerity is a trend in music, aesthetics, literary fiction, film criticism, poetry, literary criticism and philosophy that generally describes creative works that expand upon and break away[14] from concepts of postmodernist irony and cynicism. Its usage dates back to the mid-1980s; however, it was popularized in the 1990s by American author David Foster Wallace. Wikipedia
wikipedia (corecore)
"on the proliferation of content in culture: self-focused, often narcissistic commentary, opinions, life-hacks and problem sharing."
Amanda Silberling of TechCrunch called corecore an "absurdist meme" and wrote that the aesthetic has "techno-futurism-doom vibes", with most of the genre's videos being "tied together by a general malaise — a concern that life has no meaning and technology is alienating us from one another." Silberling was among many contemporary media writers to compare corecore to Dadaism.
[...] presented with the societal dread induced from doom-scrolling on one's phone at 2 am after one too many bong rips on a weeknight [...] but at the very least, it's an evidence-based manner of expressing one's frustrations with the world that seems to strike a chord with a large number of TikTok users." Felicity Martin of i-D wrote that corecore "might be the hardest to explain or rationalize" among TikTok trends, opining that the genre's videos "amateurishly splice together unrelated clips, touching on topics such as loneliness and feeling unattractive."
Segalovich noted the praise of corecore in many media articles from early 2023, commenting "They've lauded corecore for how vividly it evokes young people's frustration and panic looking down the barrel of climate and capitalist catastrophe," but opined that the coverage overlooked "the real message behind most of these videos: the terrifying rates of loneliness among young men and boys, which has led many into depression, suicide, and bigotry. And for some, corecore might only make it worse." Segalovich added that the themes in corecore videos could exacerbate depressed feelings for viewers. Segalovich also cited comparisons between Dada and corecore, noting that the two genres have a sense of despondency in response to world events, but opined that such "declarations of meaninglessness and hopelessness often lead to authoritarianism."
Writing about the aesthetic in retrospect for Flash Art in August 2023, Declan Colquitt and Hannah Cobb (jointly writing under the pseudonym Y7) stated that corecore "was a program of scale undertaken from an anti- anthropomorphic POV, an insensate delirium scanning an ultimately inconceivable hyperobject of communicative media; and yet it was also a program of yearning and melancholy; of cancelled futures, of attempts to reconcile with endcore's cauterized horizons."
Commercialization of the Internet - WikipediaThe commercialization[4] [48]of the Internet encompasses the creation and management of online services principally for financial gain[13]. It typically involves the increasing monetization of network services and consumer products mediated through the varied use of Internet technologies. Wikipedia

The global internet took shape
The global internet took shape
in academia by the second half of the 1980s, as well as many other computer networks of both academic and commercial use such as USENET, Fidonet, and the Bulletin Board System. By 1989 the Internet and the networks linked to it were a global system with extensive transoceanic satellite links and nodes in most developed countries. Based on earlier work, from 1980 onwards Tim Berners Lee formalized the concept of the World Wide Web by 1989. Television viewing became commonplace in the Third World, with the number of TV sets in China and India increasing by 15 and 10 times respectively.

Television viewing became commonplace in the Third World, with the number of TV sets in China and India increasing by 15 and 10 times respectively.
A combination of factors, including the continued mass mobilization of capital markets through neo-liberalism, the thawing of the decades-long Cold War, the beginning of the widespread proliferation of new media such as the Internet from the middle of the decade onwards, increasing skepticism towards government[4][8], and the dissolution of the Soviet Union led to a realignment and reconsolidation of economic and political power[10] across the world and within countries. The dot-com bubble of 1997–2000 brought wealth to some entrepreneurs before its crash between 2000 and 2001. (cyberpunk, cybercore...)
The "90s Web"
The "90s Web"
Some feel like the early public internet in the 1990s and the early 2000s espoused way more egalitarian, cozy, individually expressive and usable qualities, and that corporate influence, greed and monopolization are the reason for the internet's increasing negativity. The early days of Geocities, IRC, MSN Messenger, Myspace, forums and bulletin boards, mailing lists and so on are considered the heyday of the internet.
Related: Digital Oddity (Xpiritualism); *Utopian scholastic*
The experimentation, customization and ability to express yourself are said to have been much higher back when the internet was far less regulated and, for better or for worse, less "sanitized[13]". Tiny communities were more common, and making a website was considered to be a creative exercise with barely any rules.
The web was "weirder"! There were less subscription services, social media used to let you customize way more than just profile picture and bio, the hurdles to hosting a website were lower, and there was real diversity in communities out there.
People who subscribe to this idea tend to emphasize and imitate the retro aspect of the internet, hacking together your own website, using strong constrasts, color combinations that others would consider strikingly ugly, a plethora of fonts, blinking designs, guest books, automatic music playing, chat rooms, web rings and so on.
They tend to revive old messengers such as ICQ or the Escargot MSN Messenger remake, use IRC and other technology now largely considered vintage such as Windows XP. People in this community tend to focus on the artistic and aesthetic expressive side of the hobby, and might come from Tumblr, TikTok or Twitter. "Retro internet/web" or "old internet/web" are common words they describe the subculture, not to forget "yesterweb", which was one of the most influential (and to an extent, infamous) communities in the foundation of this culture.[4]

The Internet has created a seismic disruption to the balance of power in the media.
It is getting easier and easier to post your thoughts, photos, or videos. Yet the Wild West of the Web is being tamed. Small Internet service providers are being driven out of business, with corporations like Comcast, Time Warner, Verizon, and AT&T dominating the market. Privacy, security, and the freedom to publish without fear of censorship are dwindling with each merger, with each effort by corporate lobbyists to further restrict the open Internet in favor of a narrow profit advantage.

It's like there's no awareness of the world around them. We're talking missing 9/10 of the time with a hammer. Honestly, I think they're just tired of it all and don't care to learn anymore. I can't blame them. It feels like the whole world is falling apart, but never enough to bring an end to the stress that comes from it. Perhaps it's a demoralization sort of thing.

Despite the fact that the emergence of capitalist realism is tied to the birth of neoliberalism, Fisher
is clear to state that capitalist realism and neoliberalism are separate entities that simply reinforce each other. According to Fisher, capitalist realism has the potential to live past the demise of neoliberal capitalism, though Fisher posits that the opposite would not be true. Capitalist realism is inherently anti-utopian, as it holds that no matter the flaws or externalities, capitalism is the only possible means of operation. Neoliberalism conversely glorifies capitalism by portraying it as providing the means necessary to pursue and achieve near-utopian socioeconomic conditions. In this way, capitalist realism pacifies opposition to neoliberalism's overly positive projections while neoliberalism counteracts the despair and disillusionment central to capitalist realism with its utopian claims. - Capitalist Realism - Wikipedia
