You might be an Internet Ancient if you: 

โ€ข remember Netscape Navigator

โ€ข ever used any modem with a bandwidth of 28,8 or lower

โ€ข had an Early Adopter account on Livejournal

โ€ข witnessed the rise and fall of PhPBB

โ€ข witnessed the rise and fall of Napster

โ€ข used the web before Google existed

โ€ข ever used a dialup BBS site

โ€ข remember Gopher

โ€ข ever downloaded music as .mod files

โ€ข remember when about 90% of the web was made up of personal sites which were "under construction" and had pictures of people's cats on them

โ€ข remember when Yahoo was literally just a big list of websites

โ€ข know IRC commands

โ€ข have heard anyone unironically use the phrase "information superhighway"

โ€ข can recognise different bandwidth modems by what bleepy handshake sound they make

โ€ข have ever received one of those chain e-mails where you have to scroll through about a kilometre of forwarded headers only to find a "hilarious" vaguely lewd image and/or a banal list like this one

trans men are men, trans women are women, and nonbinary people are 

cool

music you never get tired of:

Galaxy Force II (Arcade) - Defeat (Scene B)
composer: Katsuhiro Hayashi

this was a tough one to pick for, so i decided to go with some classic sega jazz fusion. the same composer also did the soundtrack for quartet, which i considered for this list

boss battle music:
Phantasy Star 4 (Genesis) - Laughter
composer: Izuho Numata

it doesn't have to be a normal boss theme, right? this ost in general is one of my favorites, but i love this song in particular because it puts you in the exact mood for fighting the bosses this theme accompanies

music featuring vocals:
Final Zone II (TG-CD) - Momoko Ring's Theme
composer: unknown (developed by reno)

while final zone 2 features telenet's usual bottom tier english voice acting, both the japanese and english versions of this song are very good
