I click. I see an anime girlie bot challenge screen. I hear zoomer pop in ~32k 16-bit stereo. I see JavaScript animations and a seizure-inducing vibecoded layout. I close the tab.

"Miss the old web?" The author wasn't even born then.

Well I am on the millennial/Gen Z cusp, and I think the new "old web" is a recreation of the corner of the Internet that puts humans before bots (as opposed to faithfully recreating it). Then again this website feels like it's doing a little too much.

Or too little... aside from themes and music and a chatbox there's not much to it.

		Also, this seems exactly like what the classic web would’ve looked like if we’d had the ability to do it.

What you're describing is the IndieWeb, I feel like if you're going to call something the "old web" the effort probably should be to actually recreate it a little more faithfully

I like it. Is the music AI generated though?
