What's the point to even trying to greentext anymore? I haven't seen a legitimate greentext in ages, all it is now is zoomers just trying to xd edgy meme with le 4chin references these days. Is the old internet officially dead, or am I just a bitching boomer?

You are just getting old. Things change, you have to change with them, or fade into irrelevancy.

Am I getting old, or is everything around me falling apart?

As you can see, this subreddit has changed for the worse. My condoleances, fellow redditor.

>Am I getting old, or is everything around me falling apart?

That's why. Plus it takes effort to write a good greentext without it being filled with the tryhard shit most dipshits put in these days.

in these cursed times, our own pasts slip away from us faster and faster with every breathing moment. we'll never get the chance to live again. welcome to hell

From what I've seen, people have been posting old greentexts everywhere now. Then zoomers show up and shitpost and get their shit pushed in for being new and retarded, and then they leave their wake of shit.

You should have stayed there

I can somehow tell youre a zoomer. idk how something just tells me

I remember it like it was yesterday when this was a place for shitposting and having a good time, but all I see is trapposting, shills, newfag retards, and the most boring people posting. I know bitching doesn't help, but I just want it to end.

Hmmm, it was just an example. Don't really care to go to the self-validation cesspool.

These are the archetypes of the modern greentext. Choose one of these, half arse a story and you'll be reddit famous/on a greentext compilation in no time.

The old internet died in 2000 bro

So how were old ones different?

greentexts were funny back in the day but good god they are fucking awful nowadays i honestly wouldnt mind if greentext stories would get 404'd right away

Not him, but they all had their own unique twists or character to the, but slowly became more degraded and meaningless as time went on. you have no idea how many times I feel deep dread when I see the texts
>be me

this is true. when i find myself writing a greentext it comes off as tryhardy and cringe so i just end up deleting it. greentexts are a dying art
this place has basically became you know what site v2 because of all the national news and shit but im wondering are there even any better sites out there? 8chkind of feels the same and theres not rlly a difference

Oh so you can't actually concretely say. Got it

Okay so when they started they started as personal experiences with stories worth being told, and now they're either just shitposts, which I normally have no problem with until it gets repetitive and stagnant, and just random memes that makes zoom zoom shit his pants with excitement. I'm a mega autist, so don't expect a good explanation.

To put it simply, old greentexts were setups for a punchline. My favourite ones were the rewrites of popular media (ie. Star Wars) that masqueraded as a bog standard greentext until the final line.

I do however believe that meta posters like OP are newfags trying to fit in.
