> And all was well until September fell.

Oh, how I pine for the days before the eternal September.

Even Green Day got sad about it.



Some sites try to pretend that it didn't happen. If they're small enough, it can even kind of work, like lainchan.

>Even Green Day got sad about it.

When I heard that song, I noticed how well the lyrics fit:

>Summer has come and passed, the innocence can never last,

The eternal September was the end of innocence for the internet

>Here comes the rain again, falling from the stars,

>Drenched in my pain again, becoming who we are

As painful as September was was, it was instrumental in making the internet and the internet culture what it is today.

>As my memory rests, but never forget what I lost

Many still feel the loss that was September distinctly. I myself wasn't even around, but I still feel it.
