NostalgIA
A reggaeton track built with cloned voices of Bad Bunny, Justin Bieber and Daddy Yankee, released by a creator under the name FlowGPT in November 2023 and briefly everywhere on TikTok. Bad Bunny responded on his WhatsApp channel that anyone who liked it should leave the group, which made the song more famous than the song had.

Vine
Six seconds, looping. Still supplying the shared reference library of an entire generation nine years after it was switched off, which is more than most surviving platforms manage.

2026 Is the New 2016
A New Year's resolution the internet made for itself: bring back 2016 — flower-crown filters, the Mannequin Challenge, bottle flips, the dab, Zara Larsson on the radio. Part nostalgia, part protest against the present, and it actually moved a few 2016 songs back up the charts.

AIM
Screen names, away messages, the door-opening sound. Twenty years of teenage life logged to nobody's disk in particular, and switched off in December 2017 without anyone being able to say goodbye on it.

Advice Animals
A face on a coloured background, two lines of Impact, one character trait. The industrial phase of the meme, when anyone could make one and everyone did.

Ain't Nobody Got Time for That
A woman describing escaping a fire with a line that became a chorus. The last of the auto-tuned local news memes, and the point at which people noticed who was being laughed at.

AltaVista
The first search engine that indexed the whole web, and the first to be beaten by a cleaner one. Lived for a further fifteen years as a redirect.

Angelfire
GeoCities for people who had already been thrown off GeoCities. Technically still online, which counts for less than you would think.
