The difference is what you're "pushing". Are you pushing the scroll bar on the right of the page? Or are you pushing the page? I grew up with the scroll bar, so mouse wheel down makes page move up.

Nowadays, phones don't even have room to display a scroll bar, so people have gotten the idea to flick upwards. If you're on a laptop trackpad, that's probably gonna carry over.
