in the early 2000s memes were just image macros. those died away and the internet got over them. then in the past five years memes seemed to make a resurgence. nowadays they're all irony, abstract, non-sequitar, self-aware. why have memes reemerged? what explains their popularity in this day and age?

memetics aren't new, only our understanding of them may as well ask what explains culture

I noticed the way people (over)use the word meme has changed. in the old internet times you didn't really call something a meme unless it had "earned" it by going viral, but now any image with some text pasted on it is a dank meme regardless of how popular it actually is.

I think it's because people like having a joke that they're in on, whether a catch phrase from a popular show or an obscure movie quote. But now anyone can make a meme and contribute to a joke for other people to enjoy, which is pretty cool.

they were sent back in time from decades in the future by skynet via the t1000's memetic poly alloy. the first memes were knives and stabbing weapons, and it went on from there

fakepost: we cannot possibly discover more memes in this field, they have all been discovered seriouspost: memes are accessible and spread quickly because they are bite-sized humor, so their light weight enables rapid propagation among people whomst appreciate them Most everyone in the world loves to both eat snacks and laugh!

It's fun to look at a joke and laugh a little. It's also fun to get unreasonably outraged that people find things funny as I'm sure many people will demonstrate shortly.
