Well it does say "4life"
Man, Mine was [email protected] (I changed the numbers for leave me alone purposes) and I made it in the 90's when I was like 13. A lot of my screen names at websites continued to be that for several years and one of those sites I still get on and use.
Only years later as the internet evolve did I ever think to self reflect at how creepy a screen name that was while going around and hanging out in chat rooms. I picked the name because the Plymouth Prowler had just come out and I had it on one of my school folders and I thought the car looked really awesome.
TLDNR: Plymouth made me look like a creep.
Ten year old me got a beautiful white backpack and made the username [email protected] (numbers also changed), not realizing until over a decade later, that I seemed like a drug dealer.
Niiice.
I'm 41. My screen name is my AOL screen name from 1996...

My steam login is Hotmail.....
Hotmail, now there is a name I haven't heard in a while. we used to troll a handsome guy at work. After people left his desk he'd come over " Guys can you stop telling staff my e-mail is [email protected]"
Thousands of dollars in games hinging on support for an almost dead domain. Brave.
"We sent you a recovery email, good fucking luck."

Oh, little Billy. One day you will become the xXPussyDestroyerXx!
I’m almost 50 and have the same email address made up almost 30 years ago. It was so dark & edgy back then.
I’ve aged better than it has. Luckily I have a separate address for work.
That would put you at about the mid-90s. Peak millennial/gen-x goth/grunge/nu metal era. Makes sense.

Eventually it will wrap back around to being edgy and cool in an ironic manner:-).
You give me hope.
Nope, it's in 13 leaks (haveibeenpwned) and full of spam. Though the provider can use it to train their spam filters.

Well I got incredibly lucky so I have a [email protected] address. Why would I ever give that up? 🥰
Honestly it's so nice. I ended up buying lastname.tld so now I will always have [email protected] even if I change provider because I can just point the domain to whatever provider I like.
I envy all of you who have uncommon last names.

"Yes, that's [email protected]. With a zero in hax0r. And I should have the test results back to you by end of business."
Kinda bummed no one here is representing EarthLink gang. One of my professors used that email and it was clearly made in like ‘92
Not to be that guy, but ackshually EarthLink was founded in 1994 and, for all I know, may or may not have offered email yet at that point.
Also, AOL gang here, we can't be friends.
I'm still using my email from before I was 13 (don't tell Google).
Reminder that your google account has a name which is not just your email address. If you don't use google's other services besides gmail and youtube, you probably don't remember what it is. And you probably put in something stupid if not completely offensive. If you suddenly have to use google docs or something, people will see it.
Guys, this is just a bot. It wants you to share your email addresses so it can sign you up for spam newsletters...
/s
I still use [email protected] for newsletters. I registered it for a beta demo in 1999.
You're about to get an onslaught of spam. Never post your email in plain text online.
Still using my Gmail from 2002
It was released 2003, but yeah. My 2004 account is still active, and I have an older Hotmail address

I lost my AOL email long ago, that was the first one I remember, but I have lost many more from the decades since. Still got Yahoo! though.
i've since made a more professional e-mail, but everything remotely to do with personal stuff uses the adress i made when i was 10.
