One could argue that it's the same nerds. The difference isn't generational, it's the forums for discussion. Modern platforms offer more validation (in the form of echo chambers) and monetisation in response to over-reacting to this kind of stuff.
Yeah, I did start to mention that possibility. The meme doesn't really specifically state that it's a new crop of people, and I do actually suspect it's a mixture of older nerds who have gone insane and newer nerds who started out insane.
