An '''extremely online''' (often capitalized<ref name="Daily Dot 1" />), '''terminally online''',<ref name="Hawes 2021" /> or '''chronically online'''<ref name="ruJVt" /> person is someone who is closely engaged with Internet culture.<ref name="Daily Dot 1" /> People said to be extremely online often believe that online posts are very important.<ref name="IRLmag" /><ref name="Vox 2" /> Events and phenomena can themselves be extremely online;<ref name="IRLmag" /> while often used as a descriptive term, the phenomenon of extreme online usage has been described as "both a reformation of the delivery of ideas – shared through words and videos and memes and GIFs and copypasta – and the ideas themselves".<ref name="Vox 2" /> Here, "online" is used to describe "a way of doing things, not [simply] the place they are done".<ref name="IRLmag" />
==Criteria== While the term was in use as early as 2014, it gained popularity over the latter half of the 2010s in conjunction with the increasing prevalence and notability of Internet phenomena in all areas of life.<ref name="Daily Dot 1" /> Extremely online people, according to ''The Daily Dot'', are interested in topics "no normal, healthy person could possibly care about",<ref name="Daily Dot 1" /> and have been analogized to "pop culture fandoms, just without the pop".<ref name="Daily Dot 1" /> Extremely online phenomena such as fan culture and reaction GIFs have been described as "swallowing democracy" by journalists such as Amanda Hess in ''The New York Times'',<ref name="NYT 1" /> who claimed that a "great convergence between politics and culture, values and aesthetics, citizenship and commercialism" had become "a dominant mode of experiencing politics".<ref name="NYT 1" /> ''Vulture'' – formerly the pop culture section of ''New York'' magazine, now a stand-alone website – has a section for articles tagged "extremely online".<ref name="Vulture 1" />
==Historical background== [[File:FireResearch 023.jpg|thumb|While computer networks existed in the 1980s, they were largely seen at the time as something whose only formal or culturally significant use was for research and business purposes; entertainment and snark on bulletin board systems and Usenet was viewed as small-time geek culture.]] In the 2010s, many categories and labels came into wide use from media outlets to describe Internet-mediated cultural trends, such as the alt-right, the dirtbag left, and doomerism.<ref name="DoomerCandidate2019"/> These ideological categories are often defined by their close association with online discourse. For example, the term "alt-right" was added to the Associated Press' stylebook in 2016 to describe the "digital presence" of far-right ideologies,<ref name="altwrong"/> the dirtbag left refers to a group of "underemployed and overly online millennials" who "have no time for the pieties of traditional political discourse",<ref name="dirtbag"/> and the doomer's "blackpilled<ref name="blackpill"/> despair"<ref name="DoomerCandidate2019"/> is combined with spending "too much time on message boards in high school"<ref name="DoomerCandidate2019"/> to produce an eclectic "anti-socialism".<ref name="DoomerCandidate2019"/>
thumb|Fans of the podcast ''Chapo Trap House'' have been described as extremely online. Extreme onlineness transcends ideological boundaries. For example, right-wing figures like Alex Jones<ref name="auspol"/> and Laura Loomer<ref name="auspol"/> have been described as "extremely online", but so have those on the left like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<ref name="kornferry"/> and fans of the ''Chapo Trap House'' podcast.<ref name="vanity"/><ref name="muse"/> Extremely online phenomena can range from acts of offline violence (such as the 2019 Christchurch shootings<ref name="sixsmith"/>) to "[going] on NPR to explain the anti-capitalist irony inherent in kids eating Tide Pods".<ref name="Daily Dot 1"/>
United States President Donald Trump's posts on social media have been frequently cited as extremely online,<ref name="Vox 2"/> during both his presidency<ref name="quartz"/> and his 2020 presidential campaign; ''Vox'' claimed his approach to re-election veered into being "Too Online",<ref name="Vox 2"/> and ''Reason'' questioned whether the final presidential debate was "incomprehensible to normies".<ref name="reason"/> While individual people are often given the description, being extremely online has also been posited as an overall cultural phenomenon, applying to trends like lifestyle movements suffixed with "-wave" and "-core" based heavily on Internet media,<ref name="IRLmag"/> as well as an increasing expectation for digital social researchers to have an "online presence" to advance in their careers.<ref name="research"/>
==Participants and media coverage== <!-- Please see talk page before adding/removing the tweet. --> {{tweet |image = Stadot-008cf0.svg |name = wint |username = dril |unverified = y |date = September 15, 2012 |text = who the fuck is scraeming 'LOG OFF' at my house. show yourself, coward. i will never log off |id = 247222360309121024 }} One example of a phenomenon considered to be extremely online<ref name="Daily Dot 1"/> is the "wife guy" (a guy who posts about his wife);<ref name="NYT 5 June 2019"/> despite being a "stupid online thing"<ref name="Slate 10 June 2019"/> which spent several years as a piece of Internet slang, in 2019 it became the subject of five articles in leading U.S. media outlets.<ref name="Slate 10 June 2019"/>
Like many extremely online phrases and phenomena, the "wife guy" has been attributed in part to the in-character Twitter account dril.<ref name="The Outline 14 May 2019"/> The account frequently parodies how people behave on the Internet, and has been widely cited as influential on online culture.<ref name="dbk"/><ref name="kotaku"/> In one tweet, his character refuses to stop using the Internet, even when someone shouts outside his house that he should log off.<ref name="Bellin"/>
Many of dril's other coinages have become ubiquitous parts of Internet slang.<ref name="dbk"/> Throughout the 2010s, posters such as dril inspired commonly used terms like "corncobbing" (referring to someone losing an argument and failing to admit it);<ref name="Singal"/><ref name="Statesman Cob"/><ref name="Ringer"/> while originally a piece of obscure Internet slang used on sites like Twitter, use of the term (and controversy over its misinterpretation) became a subject of reporting from traditional publications, with some noting<ref name="ddcc"/> that keeping up with the rapid turnover of inside jokes, memes, and quotes online required daily attention to avoid embarrassment.<ref name="ddcc"/><ref name="binch"/>
Twitch has been described as "talk radio for the extremely online".<ref name="twitch"/> Another example of an event cited as extremely online is No Nut November.<ref name="nnn"/> Increasingly, researchers are expected to have more of an online presence, to advance in their careers, as networking and portfolios continue to transition to the digital world.<ref name="research"/>
In November 2020, an article in ''The Washington Post'' criticized the filter bubble theory of online discourse on the basis that it "overgeneralized" based on a "small subset of extremely online people".<ref name="myths"/>
The 2021 storming of the United States Capitol was described as extremely online, with "pro-Trump internet personalities", such as Baked Alaska,<ref name="9NlGf"/> and fans livestreaming and taking selfies.<ref name="vii1H"/><ref name="51Udk"/> People who have been described as extremely online include Chrissy Teigen,<ref name="57xTC"/> Jon Ossoff,<ref name="3NYof"/> and Andrew Yang.<ref name="ilTlU" /> In contrast, Joe Biden has been cited as the antithesis of extremely online—''The New York Times'' wrote in 2019 that he had "zero meme energy".<ref name="NYT 1"/><ref name="jJ5R7"/><ref name="GdoYd"/>
