Since this particular list has a theme, is the "new" part not so strict?

I was at a conference in 2004 that had a presentation on the "Droste
Effect".  "Swede" goes back to the 2008 film "Be Kind Rewind" (assuming
it has the same meaning; I can't read the article).

I don't think of myself as particularly hip to internet memes and
jargon, but even I'm aware that "Rickroll", "O RLY" and "tl;dr" are all
at least a few years old.
