there's a show in Hulu with Maya Erskine and somebody else called PEN15 which is incredible all around as a comedy capturing the awkward stage of early adolescence, but also specifically in the early dialup internet era. it unlocked some very cringey memories in me I had buried, but is so funny it's worth it.
there's a whole episode on AIM that is hysterical and the way they portray themselves and the absurdity of peer groups at that age is nothing short of true genius.

Oof. Friendly fire. My bad.😅
i used to wonder why anyone cared if there were any women in the chat rooms; it should have been the first clue that i wasn't straight. lol
