>>19371957A handful of years ago I was with my brother who was visiting from another state. We were out in town doing something and I happened to mutter "top kek" to myself, in response to seeing a stupid shop sign. My brother heard this, got genuinely upset and told me not to use internet words and be normal.
Fast forward to a decade and a bit later and I'm visiting my brother only to notice that he casually uses these weird neo-twitter/reddit era 4chan buzzwords as though they were part of everyday speech. This leads me to conclude that most of this "4chan outside of 4chan" stuff you see is less about cringe and more that this nomenclature is being used by normalfags without being aware of 4chan at all.
