In the early 90's the dark stuff was mixed in with the porn. If you were looking for porn on the internet before it was available on web browsers, aka on usenet or anonymous FTP, you got exposed to the dark stuff.
And I'm fairly confident that a large percentage of teens using the Internet in the pre-WWW age were looking for porn.
