Personally I'd say the MLG era lasted well into late 2016 maybe even 2017. Though there was definitely a little overlap with the surreal era at some point, so I guess it's subjective as to when exactly you pin down the definitive 'end' of an era

It was originally set as 2017, but someone told me it didn’t go on that long, so 🤷‍♂️

I'd cut it down the middle and say 2016 then. That makes the most sense to me, with 2016 being like the best year. It was slowly downhill from there, then after the surreal era it really started falling off

I miss the surreal era

I fucking hate the post humor era, it took what was funny in the era before and made it unfunny, and it's also repetitive every meme I see is the same.

Yea it's like when a movie character makes a joke and a bunch of toddlers in the cinema try to build on top of this joke while annoying everyone.

The humor during post-irony was mainly reverse humor. What is the current thing, reverse-reverse humor?

So true. I suggested the obnoxious era as its name, and I think it fits better.

Tbh in my opinion internet humour was always obnoxious, it's just that now instead of being bombarded with many different memes, you get bombarded with the same lightskin and Ohio memes all the time.

I think part of whats fun about old internet humor is the way it could be remixed. You'd never see the same meme exact meme twice, they could always be applied to different situations and express different ideas. It's sort of like an internet specific language.

This is just repeating the same phrase over and over again.

Bro rage comics and advice animals were on their prime up until 2012, and I believe YTP didn’t start being popular until 2010

The memes are as funny as they always have been. It's just you guys that are growing up

After many ideas and much consideration, I’ve decided to classify this new terrible era as the Post-Humor Era. I’ve also corrected the lifespans of each era and added one that I realized was left out. Feel free to let me know if you find any inaccuracies.
