Newface

Origin

It was used by oldfags on 4chan who were acting like newfags. They essentially trolled other oldfags and newfags alike. In the process they claimed that "Newface" is the new Troll Face (as if troll face would be replaced.) This enraged many who bitterly defended the original Troll Face (Newface instigators referred to it as oldface), hence feeding the trolls. Many variations of this emerged during the day of 12/11/10 and the early morning of 12/12/10. Many people who are not on the 4chan website defending the "newface" think that the original troll face is better. The meme is still developing.

Oldface vs. Newface

This massive debate has been going around 4chan lately, here are some pictures to show the battle.

The bad part about this meme is that each time a new debate topic is posted, there is never an official decision made about what trollface should be used. The argument continues to go on, creating more cancer threads.

Other Names

This may also be referred to as "coolface," "newfagface," "fagface," or the "new trollface".
