It is greentext an genre of it's own? That question is one of much interest to scholars, but the answer is hidden

>be me
This opening, this exurge of 'be me' is the author's way of fracturing the identity of the reader; we are asked not to read this as ourselves, but as the author, to experience the work from the author's point of view, to step radically outside ourselves, and not only outside ourselves, but outside the common way of reading as an engagement of subjects. This is emblematic of the culture and folk tradition the 'greentext' sprung out of: anonymous imageboards, where selfhood and subjectivity are deconstructed and every voice becomes the voice of a nameless writer who could 'be me' but also is not me. As Husserl noted, the word 'I' has a paradoxical phenomenological significance, and the namelessness of the author, who urges us to invoke the 'I' not as ourselves but as another 'I' (an 'alter ego' in Husserl's terms) shows this double bind at the core of language, at the crux of thought, and the center of writing.

Whatever you do, don't include FOTM memes. Only include memes that become part of the language, like 'literal/literally who', 'rent free', hell, even boomer/zoomer or soi would be fine.
If you really want to try something interesting, have it switch between two days that are indicated by the memes being spammed and word filters in place (i.e. some of the posts have so y but some have onions because they're on a different day). You could include a throwaway joke about /ck/ no longer being able to talk about soi sauce or Spanish /int/ not being able to say 'I am' to bring it to attention.
Once eBooks are able to have spoiler tags in them, true representation of the Internet will be possible. I suppose in print you could have white text with black highlight over it to signify a spoiler tag and then obviously just
>make the text green
but then it becomes a House of Leaves-tier pain to print.

It's a form of "graffiti".
