The Artisan Age of YouTube

Also known as the pre-influencer age of YouTube.

An umbrella term for both the Golden age (2005-2009) and Silver age (2010-2013) of YouTube.

When the only drama on YouTube was either family based, (I.e. Onision) openly staged for the audience entertainment (The Angry Video Game Nerd Vs. The Nostalgia Critic) or limited to one type of site (The 2008/9 Boxxy civil war on 4chan)

The time when creativity ruled, when Jenna Marbles, Nigahiga, Ray William Johnson, James Rolfe, Jacksfilms, Freddie Wong and Co., Fred, Shane Dawson and several others were around.

One million views on a view was considered the pinnacle of internet success.

Memes were more fun and the people who created them were often made famous by accident and had the creativity to make characters based on those memes (Overly attached Girlfriend)

The period started at the inception of YouTube (or arguably a year after) and ended when Video Game High School (made by Rocketjump, Freddie Wong's production company) released its last episode in 2014.
James: remember YTP videos?

John: yet that was the artisan age of youtube. Real artists who made cool stuff for fun and their audiences. I miss those times

James: yeh dude, simpler times. All we have today are influencers giving money while having it recorded for clout. Zero creativity now.

space-age

adj: neo-modern, I.e. post 9/11

Golden Age of Privacy

A period of time when a person is really active sexually but more in a solo way, such as masturbating. Usually an early riser especially with boys when they hit puberty. Overall when the person has fun by himself/herself like there's no tomorrow in a period of days, weeks or even months!

Cock Age

Cock age is specialized fantasy sex play among gays, a psychological marker for recapturing pleasure felt at a specific moment of youth. For the recipient, it's serious surrenderence by a seductive partner into age-specific verbal and physical fantasy. It frequently begins with highly-erotic foreplay as partners sync-up their psyches. Some claim it promotes sexual healing, others cite the intimacy of shared, candid memories and/or fantasies.
What's your cock age?
