When Dawkins created the word meme, not the concept but the word itself, kilroy was the most obvious example. Although the concept of memes have been around as long as humanity itself.
An idea, behavior, or style that can spread throughout a culture; that can be transmitted through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or imitable phenomenon.
A great example of this is European powdered wigs of the 17th centuryn a fashion trend that carried over to the newly founded America's. Now we look at it as ridiculous but in Europe it showed power and influence-as well as hid baldness from the rampant spreading of head lice. Memes today also can be looked back on in a similar fashion. What is humorous or trendy a year ago you may look back on as ridiculous as well.

The first meme I can remember from my childhood was yoyos. These things were so cool and the kids on my block were all about them. Some people would learn tricks and show them off at school in recess. Marbles were also up there but yoyos were the shit.

In b4 some fag says efg was always efg.gif and 400x400
400x400 was literally for one set of comics.
EFG used any random set of resolutions he could be bothered using.
He wore that shit mask in 2 of them. I lost count of how many EFG comics there actually were. Ones by actual EFG and not reposting faggots.
Here's some fucking EFG. Also he's black.

Honest question. Did "we" have more fun on the internet back then? Feels like everything now is cast in a shadow of a more interesting time.

Nope. People have become a lot more cynical. There were times when people would post EPIC WIN or just LOL or WTF and it was funny. It was genuine hyperactive expression.
Nowadays, if your post is not wrapped in twenty layers of irony and bitterness you're told to leave.
I could go on and on about this because it's an interesting shift in culture, but the above is basically the gist of it. Personally I blame the /jp/ ironic shitposting wave from 2011 to be the starting point of the new attitude.

That's not what OP was saying. He's asking about the time before it was a mainstream word, not about a time before it existed.
