Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]] in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
* [[The Abridged Series]] phenomenon. When [[Little Kuriboh]] debuted ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series (Web Video)|Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series]]'', the format of re-editing a series into mini-episodes and the style of quirky, self-referential parody were fairly original and amusing, and while [[Gag Dub|Gag Dubs]] were certainly not anything new, ''YGOTAS'' massively popularized them. Nowadays, there are so many imitators that neither the format nor the humor seem innovative anymore.▼
** However some jokes were just so well timed and became [[Memetic Mutation|memes]] it may be hard to see where it came from originally. (''[[Screw the Rules I Have Money]]'' / ''Green Hair'')▼

* Flash movies. Browse any website full of them and then point out how many cartoons that were "hot stuff" back when they were made now seem rather generic, loosely drawn, or poorly animated. Especially sites like [[Newgrounds]].
** Many of Newgrounds' flash games suffer from this, as well. In a time where the site is full of much more complex games, looking back at a time of arcade-y shooting games can be rough for newer users. Stamper even mentions this in [http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/130 the description] of his 2000 game ''Street Life'', which was a top rated game at the time, telling new people that it's not worth playing by today's standards.

* Don't know if there's a better section to put this, [[Genius Bonus|or if many others can relate]], but an iTunes app was recently released of the Fairlight CMI Series II, designed by one of its inventors. The Fairlight, for the uninitiated, was a $100,000 machine invented in 1979 in Australia which is considered both one of the first major digital workstations and the first commercially available digital sampler. Its "Page R" sequencing was also revolutionary. It was 8-bit, took up a lot of space, but there was nothing else like it at the time. Fairlights were used in [[The Eighties]] by many top artists with the cash to buy one, most notably producer Trevor Horn (with [[Art Of Noise]], ABC and [[Yes]]), [[Devo]], [[Paul McCartney]], [[Erasure]], [[

** Not to mention, ''[[Red vs. Blue]]'' was one of the most original uses of games at the time, helped to make [[Machinima]] popular, too. While still going strong, it doesn't look that new.
* [[Geocities]]. Think about it -- ''anyone'', even ''you'', can make their own site on this new, exciting "Internet" thing, and write anything they want, for the ''entire world'' to see! Geocities is the place where early Internet culture bloomed. Today, it's mainly remembered (and derided) as that deleted webhost with all the cheesy MIDI background tunes and ugly layouts.
