I didn't know this started in 1998. Once I looked for the oldest website and if I remember right it was from 1992...
I remember hearing this song in school, and I think elsewhere, in the 2000s and 2010s though.

Dancing baby was older. I first got online in 1997 and people were sending it to me. But my computer was barely good enough to play it.

Godwin's Law (1990) is the oldest internet meme from what I've researched.

I was about to say. I even heard that or another one dates back to 1994 to 1995 in a rougher form.

From wiki:

"The "Dancing Baby" phenomenon refers to a rendered animation of a baby performing a cha-cha type dance. It originated as a collection of experimental testing data and files, ultimately released in Autumn of 1996 as a product sample source file (sk_baby.max) with the 3D character animation software product "Character Studio", used with 3D Studio Max (both products from Kinetix/Autodesk)."
