Artisan Age of YouTube

Also known as the "Pre-influencer era of youtube"

The umbrella term for the golden age (2005-2009) and silver age (2010-2013) of the platform. The peak of creativity and coolness in videos. Including, but not limited to: AVGN, RWJ, Jenna Marbles, NigaHiga , TGWTG, Game Over by Poykpac, Jacksfilms, Pewdiepie, Epic Meal time, Overly Attached Girlfriend, Boxxy, Bobby Burns, Dan and Phil.

As opposed to the (ugh) Post-artisan age/influencer era of YouTube which started at

the bronze age (2014-2016) and the iron/dark age (2017-present day; worsened by the pandemic) where creativity and close-knit dynamics with audiences were replaced by low brow videos, low effort commentary toxicity/bullying, diss tracks, scandals involving forests, boxing matches and formulaic but financially extravagant Mr. Beast videos.
David: man I miss OG YouTube.

Simon: Fr dude, it was the Artisan age of youtube, funny stuff, like corridor digital, nostalgia critic. Freddie W and RocketJump.

David: Ever notice that youtube just dropped in artistic quality when VGHS ended? YouTube red showed up straight after, then that was it. Apocalypse, The Paul brothers. Viners came out of nowhere. Now it's a wasteland of creativity.

aged arby’s

When a man chops off his beloved one's vaginal flaps. Then put it a a mud patty bun (dehydrated shit patty) covers the meat with a mix of vaginal discharge and cum for a delectable sauce.
It is used when one has a craving for some “aged arby’s”(a homeade meal made from scratch). She was in pain while being the main ingredient!

Age-spoofing

(Alternative terms: Age forgery, Age fraud)

A personal term that I created myself that describes someone who wants to enter a place on the internet, but is blocked/prevented by rules/policies/community guidelines that only allow people aged 18 years old and over. So the person was forced to fake his age in order to enter the place
Discord Admin 1: "Well, I hope none of the members commit "Age-spoofing" here

Discord Admin 2: "Hehe, yeah....."

age-maturity discrepancy

An inappropriate gap between perceived maturity level in comparison with age.
Little Johnny had a large age-maturity discrepancy. His biological age was 13 but had the maturity level of the average 6 year old.

A large polar intelligence matrix in conjunction with an age maturity discrepancy existed between Sarah and Joe. They simply couldn't get along.

AG

An AG tends to be short, loves to play Roblox, and energetic most of the time.

Even if you argue with an AG, he'll forget about it the next day.
Oh look, AG is playing Roblox again!
