From Know Your Meme:
“All Your Base Are Belong to Us” is a popular engrish catchphrase that grew popular across the internet as early as in 1998. An awkward translation of “all of your bases are now under our control”, the quote originally appeared in the opening dialogue of Zero Wing, a 16-bit shoot’em up game released in 1989. Marked by poor grammar, the “All Your Base” phrase and the dialogue scene went viral on popular discussion forums in 2000, spawning thousands of image macros and flash animations featuring the slogan both on the web and in real life.
The phrase and game footage used in the meme come from the 1992 port of the 1989 side-scrolling arcade shooter Zero Wing, released on the SEGA Mega Drive.
So, the saying DOES come from 1992, but the internet meme formation did not happen until 1998.
I was wrong of when that meme started, but I do remember the meme when I was playing ROBLOX in 2008. Also, memes use to last a lot longer then they do now as well. But thank you for correctly correcting me 👍

Yeah… I’m that old man on the porch yelling about how you kids read about that shit, but I lived through it. Of course there wasn’t a meme of it in 1992 because 56 kbps was considered blazing fast internet. You could literally watch an image being drawn line by line in your web browser. Our main form of social media back then was a fucking mixtape.

Memes weren’t a thing in 92. Or their rough equivalent certainly weren’t called memes.

No but there was ASCII art and image macros. They just didn’t really have a name.

Before 2003ish, they were called “fads”! At least on YTMND, and SA.

Did not reach widespread knowledge until 2001

Yeah, I’m sitting here like “memes? Motherfucker most people didn’t have internet in '94”. The same year JP came out, everyone was distributing shareware copies of Doom on floppy disks.

No we had kids yelling bits from the jerky boys, adam sandler nonsense, and ceaselessly yelling lines from movies, often times ones they hadn’t even seen, but some line became what we would call a meme today.
I am not saying social media hasn’t had a negative impact on kids, but slop entertainment isn’t the big problem. Also all of the big issues of social media are just one aspect of things that have been moving in this direction for decades now.

It’s hard to find any fault in you for that. I’m so sorry you had to go through that situation, but I’m glad you’re still here with us. You are stronger than most.
