      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?

        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

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

      The concept of memes is much more than image macros.

        Is this text excerpt a meme?

            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.)
