Original of the three. Less of an insult than 'chronically' or 'terminally' online — more of a knowing label. The Extremely Online person gets every reference, knows every micro-celebrity feud, and can trace a meme back to the 2014 Vine. Often the trait of journalists, posters, and people who 'work in social'. Useful skill, slightly cursed life.
“Only an extremely online person would clock that the joke is about a 2016 Tumblr post about a horse.”
