The internet troll would be an interesting study. 30 years ago, guys who worked low end retail jobs and attended Comic-con conventions had an outlet for their sexual and social ineptitude, they would form clubs of their peers to make fun of the playahs, yuppies or otherwise worldly type of people. These Dungeons and Dragons, Star Wars and chess clubs became cesspools of a collective attempt to raise self esteem by finding someone to ridicule while remaining in the relative safety and security of their peer group.

The internet has changed all of that. The social outcasts who dress in furry costumes and attend conventions now have an outlet for their hatred and animosity caused by years of failure, the message board and youtube comments section where they can spew their hatred for life at those whom they know, deep inside, are vastly superior.
