Honestly it keeps going until you hit 18, not because of some magic that instantly makes you more mature the moment you become legal but because you've probably had some sort of job at that point, have probably payed taxes on said income, and now you've begun to realize that no one really knows what they're doing in the world and everyone's immature in some form or another

I'm beginning to believe that it is possible to fill an entire semester long college course on internet meme history.
You absolutely could. There are even meme wars on the internet. I remember the war of the weebs on Eve online, and the Tumblr 4chan wars, all culminating into the great the sacking of the Steven Universe Tumblr community by 4chan.
Meme history, how memes spread, current meme culture, meme wars...you could write a whole textbook on this stuff.
@@spark1400 you *procrastinate.*
If you anything else than "do you kno de waaay" to find the classroom you failed
Pretty sure those courses exist now. People in communication are doing PhDs on memes these days.

This video was made just before the massive surrealist post-irony shift in internet humor, and it's crazy how different stuff was even 4 years ago.
Ikr. Plus he didn't even mention shitposting. Like the current goofy ass cat Smurf meme is an ironic shitpost.
Actually, the first meme yet to be found was published by The Wisconsin Octopus magazine back in the 1919-1920. Also, the reason why the term “genetically” was mentioned in the definition is because , and as argued by Richard Dawkins (1976) in his book the Selfish Gene, memes and genes are similar in the ability to replicate, but different in other aspects. One last thing, Dawkins was the first one to create and use the term MEME.

this is just a cheeky little remark
When I was in primary school(elementary school for you americans), I heard of this thing called your mama jokes and I wanted to try one out.
So I got to school the next day, went up to one of my friends and said "your mom is fat" and then just didnt say the punchline. I didnt know we needed one so i just randomly told my friend that his mom was fat. I got lectured by the principal
I felt so old watching this video. We really went through all that

Nowadays we all just talk in memes and jokes instead of building meaningful relationships with people. Which I think is ideal since I don't have to spec into charisma.
And Charisma remains a dump stat
we send memes.. as if we would ever try to interact with people

The reason why internet memes die after becoming too popular are because they're created as inside jokes, and it's no longer funny once everyone's inside on the joke.
I know that more than a few people (on tumblr) would very much object being considered average or on the same level as instagram or twitter
I do appreciate this casual breakdown of memes. I get chuckles from the more specific types of memes and when people post the so relatable type meme I can't tell if they're unfunny or if I'm too far down the meme hole
Memes are pretty much inside jokes that are shared by millions of people at the same time.
memes are inside jokes for people with no friends
The most inclusive inside jokes.
So memes are like.... just jokes....

theres literally no path when a meme dies. i like to picture it as a meme roaming the dark void known as television discovery, where the meme just bounces around helplessly through all the tv networks hoping to be remade as a 4chan recycled meme.
And the part where Hillary Clinton kills it while trying to be relatable
NotVsauce or the route where pewdiepie accidentally creates a meme whilst trying to kill a different meme
something i use till date is the replacing numbers with words. its so much easier to write b4 instead of before.

@@mrtoad3582 there can be layers upon layers of context and references in a single meme. When they say a picture is worth a thousand words, they are talking about memes.
@@mrtoad3582 idk its gone through a lot of steps, and kinda evolved for better or worse. And you can tell where the meme comes from just from seeing it. And if its ironic or not. Its also just fun to think. In our universe where everything has to be perfect in order for the world to keep going. If one planet it out of line were all screwed.

Also can I use this comment not to self-promote but to warn about the EU Copyright Directive that is going to be voted on by the EU Parliament tomorrow. This directive is a massive threat to memes and other fair use content, as it will force most websites to install automated copyright filters that may block any detected copyrighted content regardless of context. Please help spread the word and more importantly, contact your local MEPs to reject the Copyright Directive, especially Article 13. Thanks for the PSA now back to memes.

I think it's a small mind that picks on people's creative content because they do not have the ability or means to do it themselves. That is only if they are straight up. Otherwise, why even watch something if you not into what it is talking about?

Every time I have to explain a joke, I follow it up with the "it dies in the process" bit
At this point memes are a literally integral part of my life, seeing as ever since I’ve been around I have used them on a daily basis. Memes are arguably a better representation of gen Z culture than anything else. Music and art are becoming memes, shows and games are becoming memes. It’s so unique, because gen Z is the first generation to grow up in the meme era. It’s amazing.

I remember memes in 2018/2019 and memes just gotten weirder and weirder for me.
A really good meme example for me right now is a flying shark in the middle of the woods saying a certain word which I will not share right now
Short explanation:
"Dead before they take off. "
Well, taking off means becoming popular, becoming popular means oversaturation and oversaturation leads to loss of the joke and its death. By definition a meme dies when it takes off
@@swiftlymurmurs1825 Wait so every meme becomes Loss at some point?
