13 Ancient Memes From A Simpler Time On The Internet

Imagine it's the year 2013. You've just gotten back from hanging out in your friend's basement playing Call of Duty and watching this new video trend called Harlem Shake that everybody at school just can't get enough of. You might even learn the dance. Barack Obama is President, Crocs are still out of fashion, the Metaverse is only a glimmer in Mark Zuckerberg's dead eyes. It's a different era. A simpler time. Perhaps a better one?
These memes, from the Twitter account @OldMemeArchive capture the spirit of that time and keep it alive for all of us to share in. They stand as a record of civilization and a way of life that has since been lost to the sands of time. A part of all of us is missing 2013, and we must honor and remember who we once were in order to best understand who we might be someday.
