| | ===== History and Terms ===== |
| | The phrase "web revival" has evolved over many years. A variant of the term appears in Gizmodo's 2014 article about [[neocities|Neocities]] "The Great Web 1.0 Revival". However, the modern meaning described here evolved as part of a group discussion that took place on the [[yesterweb|Yesterweb]] Discord server in 2021. |
| | |
| | Prior to that terms such as "Bespoke Web", "Indie Web" and simply "Neocities" were often used. |
| | |
| | In 2021 due to the popularity of the Discord group, the term "Yesterweb" was frequently used to describe the wider web crafting community, however, some felt that it was inappropriate to overuse the Discord server name, particularly when talking about sites made by people who were not part of the discord server. |
| | |
| | Web Revival was one suggestion that came about during that discussion; it was initially a play on the "Folk Revival" as described above, and it also included the suggestion that webmasters could be referred to as "Codeniks" after the 1960s "Beatnik" culture. |
| | |
| | Initially, it was not a widely popular term; however, it was fully adopted by MelonLand in late 2021 and was further promoted in articles such as "What Is The Web Revival" in 2022. The Codeniks phrase was never adopted, but the Web Revival phrase eventually gained widespread use and has largely been the primary phrase as of 2023. |
