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.

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.

They were clearly just having some fun with the site..

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
