Have I lost track of what memes are?

Or is it the children who are wrong?

[–] [email protected] 87 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Memes died 20 years ago. People just share sentences, sometimes with pictures now.

Am I annoyed at the change, or just happy that people are reading more?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

This isn't really reading. It's just marketing bullshit

You are genuinely tripping, 20 years ago was 2004. Are you talking about the dancing baby gif or something? If you're old enough to make this kind of complaint I can't believe that you don't have the attention span to read a paragraph.

20 years ago were image macros, demotivationals, and shortly after that, the following years were advice animals and rage comics.

Dancing baby was mid to late nineties, like Hamster Dance and goatse. Learn your Internet history. 20 years ago Digg was the king of social bookmarking before it was known as social media, 20 years ago was the birth of Web 2.0

Learn your internet history? Learn the touch of a woman lmfao

Ouchie! You both make good points. I'm going to hit you guys with a new spin on an old meme (Joseph Ducreux)

Learn not to be such a cunt

tl;dr

really just taking swings at everyone huh

The concept of memes is much more than image macros.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Is this text excerpt a meme?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Absolutely not.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

I stand with you.

Duckroll was a meme.

FGSFDS was a meme.

Mr T ate my balls was a meme.

Not every image macro is a meme.

A picture of Wikipedia text or an article is not a meme. (Everyone else get off my lawn, there’s other grass to touch.)
