It's worth noting that its success might have prevented the common term "incel" from coming about.
Wasn't Incel originally coined by a blogger in the 80s?
No. Web was published in 1991. Web 2.0 happened much later.
Bloggers are a post-2000 thing.
I really have no idea, but "blogger in the 80s" is kind of hilarious. The coining of a term can be hard to pin down, but it also matters a lot less than when it takes off. Looking at this ngram I think we can place the rise, when most people would become aware of it, in the early 2010s.
