Would have sounded lighthearted and witty to a close-knit group of young people in 1998, but today it just sounds juvenile an immature.

The free software community in 1998 was largely young people - from late teen students to 30-somethings (Linus was 29). So they're now in their 40s to 60s.

I.e., the set of young people who enjoyed mildly vulgar/shocking-to-norms puns then, are mostly the same set of people as the older set who today find it juvenile.
