"Internet Trash" is a derogatory slang term referring to internet users with apparent moral failings. The term suggests that the user has difficulty functioning on family friendly or professional websites, often associated with the Internet Fuckwad Theory. Those described as Internet Trash are often seen as untrustworthy because they may be criminals, drama llamas, bigots or lacking respect for authority.
Person 1: Did you see that thread in the general discussion section? Who finds shitposting that fun?
Person 2: Internet trash does, I guess.
Person A: That discussion thread in the debate section sure got heated fast. Why does everyone have to get so nasty and passive aggressive?
Person B: They're internet trash. They can only see arguments in black and white, where black is their opinion and white is everyone who is wrong.
Captain Internet is antithesis of Captain Obvious. Instead of stating the obvious, Captain Internet will quote random and obscure facts that briefly made headlines on the Internet days, sometimes years, prior. That's not to say that Captain Internet has all this information in their head and ready to spout at will, the memory of Captain Internet remembers only pieces of the fact, just enough to perform a successful search of the Internet. Often the reference will come up in conversation and days later, Captain Internet will strike with a link about "that thing we were talking about" or two Captain Internet's will have a duel and attempt to prove that they were the first to learn about a given piece of information.
Captain Internet's pride comes not from knowing facts, or even providing useful information, but from knowing something that someone didn't know and proving that they knew it first.
While Captain Internet is a relatively new phenomenon, they are direct descendants of Captain Encyclopedia, who dominated post-conversation follow-up throughout most of the 20th century. Their rise has in part been aided by the posting site Reddit, since posts are time-stamped, allowing Captain Internet to prove that they were first to learn something.
