YouTuber Emilymarie is going viral on X thanks to a video about growing up on the internet and logging off once in a while.

The video is titled "If You Log Out, It's Still 2007" and the idea of logging out to relive 2007 is proving far more controversial than she likely imagined it would be.

So, what are people saying about Emilymarie's video and why are X users getting so heated about it? Here's what we know.

How Is 'If You Log Out, It's Still 2007' Discussed Online?

The X post inspired users to discuss the idea of logging off of social media and the internet in general to make the world feel like 2007 again. Many refuted the idea, claiming that the presence of AI, and particularly AI posters, make things feel inherently unlike 2007, even if you log off.

Others brought up the fact that, even if you log off, you'll see lots of other people glued to their phones, which would not be the case in 2007. The post also inspired some racist and insensitive responses about immigration, the suggestion being that there weren't as many immigrants in 2007, therefore, logging off would not feel like 2007.
