Monsquaz

Monsquaz wasn't necessarily the biggest meme. It was one of the old ones. It existed at a point when the internet was still developing the cultural machinery that would eventually produce Pepe, Trollface, rage comics, Wojak, Doge, and eventually modern brainrot. In that sense, Monsquaz is less the ancestor of every meme and more a surviving fossil from the internet's prehistoric meme ecosystem.
