So, I've found a website that can make any other website look like it was made by a 13 year old in 1996. As an example, here's what YouTube looks like.

Inb4 people complains about the comic-sans.

Generally, simpler sites end up looking more similar than ones with a lot of code and objects on them. Not surprising, but still interesting.
I remember when the whole internet looked like that. Ah the 90's

Indeed. The tool doesn't alter any of the page structure, it only swaps the styles and scripts used for something else
Simpler web pages that have a more pure HTML based structure are less affected by it. But complex web pages tend to be heavily reliant on styles/scripts for structure so they end up getting destroyed
Oh god what the hell happened to memebase.

I love the little icons added to the bottom of each page
Hitcounters…oh god I remember those…so tacky
When Netscape Navigator and IE 2 were the best browsers around…Nostaliga…more Nostaliga…
Writing web pages in Notepad…oh damn, I'm having flashbacks to primary school! Hard to believe now it used to be possible to make a whole website with Notepad.
Back when all you needed to know to make a web page was just the basic HTML tags and nothing else.
Now I make webpages with software IDE's that take more disk space than Crysis, building a website with anything less would take forever.
