The children on the internet these days have no clue. Eternal September is 30+ years old.

  There are plenty of users who don’t even know what the Eternal September was, and I guarantee you there will be a multitude of them whose first exposure to the term will be your comment, right here.
  
  Some of us were there.

    I only got on the web at the dawn of the World Wide Web. I wonder if the college students who had access through their university think of me as a normie 🤔
