The History of Leetspeak
Leetspeak (1337 5p34k) emerged in the 1980s among bulletin board system (BBS) users, hackers, and early internet communities. The name "leet" comes from "elite," and it was originally used to bypass text filters and establish insider status within online groups.
The style gained popularity in the 1990s gaming communities, particularly in first-person shooter games and competitive gaming circles. Today, leetspeak remains a cultural marker of internet and gaming culture, used for usernames, memes, and nostalgic references to early internet days.
