How dead do you think memes are?

[llamatoes]

I went off Memes at the end of last year, and this fact was just shoved in my face like salt over an open wound, after one of the people in my class shared an Aliens meme (you know the one, if Trux reads this, sorry), and I just went and pretty much delivered as much sass as I could muster in ICT the next day.

That is also one of the reasons why I avoid Reddit like the plague.

Forced memes are a plague on the internets I share your sentiment

One thing that actually caused me pain and fear was that my youngest sister made a Harlem Shake reference, while trying to claim she was more up-to-date on the internet than me.

I had Gangnam style when it was just emerging), and it stopped being good by the time she got it

one of the people in my class shared an Aliens meme (you know the one, if Trux reads this, sorry)

What do you mean if Trux reads this, I own three Georgio shirts and a few of his pins. People don't even know his name, other than "That alien guy"

Kind of sad really.

On topic: Memes were never really funny. They're only funny the first few times they're posted, before they explode. One word can describe their fate now:

9gag (kill me please)

That was why I quit memebase and other such websites, we need more originality in humor.

the last meme I referenced was Arrow to the knee, and that was sued extremely Ironically.

Because yeah, I'm totally hipster

I hate it when people use a meme outside of the internet. I don't know why it bothers me, it just does.

You must be new to the Internet:)

The original concept of the meme died out years ago. When the term was first created, things like religions were memes, or architectural elements like arches.

Nowadays, a meme is either a picture of a person or animal with white words written on it, or a comic with silly pre-drawn faces and excessive use of the masculine French definite article.

I used to like memes like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

I had to.

No... No you didn't

I'm not judging you, I made an Arrow to the knee joke last week, due to spasticated British heather, it randomly started hailing. And I was hit in the knee.

That's the right attitude. When people around me start speaking in memes, I just stare at them as if I don't get it, too.

Awesome idea, i'm going to do that too from now on

[llamatoes]

I would do the same, but most of my friends also absolutely hate memes, as they are just not funny.

[Specialist290]

In before hating on memes is the new meme.

But seriously, a lot of them do get rather overplayed.
