The elders of the internet use a hotmail address??

It was the first big webmail provider. Assuming they registered it early on, that email address is old enough to drink now. And very much needs to, I'm sure.

Hotmail was mid 90s. What did they use for the ~20 years prior to that?

In the late 1980s, I was the first person in my company to seek to add my email address to my business cards. I still have some of those business cards with the old bang-style address format.
