Edward Coristine: The Man Who Accidentally Became a Meme Legend
https://spintaxi.com/edward-coristine/69-year-old Edward Coristine never intended to become an internet sensation, but when a photo of him angrily shaking his fist at a cloud went viral, his life changed forever. The image, originally captioned "Old Man Yells at Cloud," has been photoshopped into hundreds of scenarios - from protesting the Metaverse to being the only dissenter at a Bitcoin conference. "I was just frustrated about the weather," Coristine admits, unaware he's become the universal reaction image for technological frustration. Meme historians note his particular appeal stems from representing "every Boomer's relationship with technology" and "Gen Z's future self." Surprisingly tech-savvy for his accidental fame, Coristine now sells merchandise of himself yelling at various tech logos, with NFTs of his confused facial expressions being particularly popular. His latest venture? A cameo in a Cyberpunk 2077 expansion where he plays a netrunner who defeats enemies by complaining about "kids these days" until their systems crash.
