The meme of an entire generation that lived through the beginnings of the internet.
The culture of the meme on the internet today is something so normal and assimilated by all that it is already part of the daily life of any user, but if we have reached this moment it has been thanks to great pioneers like the “numa numa song” memes that caused a real furor in the early 2000s. People who recorded themselves at 420p singing Dragostea Din Tei with webcams and mobile cameras that you would not even find in retro stores. Around this time Xbox hit stores with a legacy Windows feature to make the console the center of the room, a music player. Guess which was one of the songs that came as standard.
Indeed, O-Zone’s Dragostea Din Tei came pre-installed on the original Xbox music player. Something that during these 20 years since its launch, seemed to have gone unnoticed by most players. One of these users, who still has a functional Xbox, recently discovered this detail and, of course, wanted to share this shot of nostalgic for the beginnings of the internet. When the generation was happy recording themselves being silly instead of arguing on social networks.
Nobody knows what happened to the group, but it is Dragostea Din Tei and more than one will remember the era of mobile polytonesthe first steps of YouTube without knowing that it would end up becoming the most important video platform on the internet and, of course, the germ of culture meme.
20 years of Xbox
Xbox also looks very different from the console that the development team managed to prototype by stealing Windows from their colleagues at Microsoft because no one trusted the project. 20 years later, Microsoft continues to trust Xbox to the point of having bought Bethesda and Activision-Blizzard, which continues to advance stages. Video games have become a very important part of the core of Microsoft.
