My grand theory of the internet is that its humor has, for better or worse, never actually fundamentally changed. Any belief that it has is purely down to optics. Two of the most popular things among terminally online children right now are "Sonic.exe" and "Surreal source filmmaker series involving half-life characters grotesquely distorted for comedic effect". I'm sure there's plenty of tiktok memes whose stylings can be traced back to YTMNDs and such.
On a similar note I have yet to see any compelling evidence that labubus are in any way materially different from previous dumb fad collectibles. Dread from it, run from it, Beanie Babies arrive all the same
